London, UK - 29th September 2011 - Plantronics (NYSE: PLT) today extended its family of Bluetooth® products with the launch of the Plantronics Marque M155 Bluetooth® headset. Designed as the ideal companion for the iPhone and Android smartphone, the Marque is sleek, lightweight and easy to use. It is enabled with voice recognition so users can answer or ignore calls completely hands-free and is enriched with audio streaming capabilities which allow users to listen to music, GPS directions or email, whilst providing the great stereo quality that Plantronics customers depend on. Marque users can access all this through a free iPhone or Android app.
Plantronics is dedicated to helping smartphone users stay connected in work, life and play and is confident the Marque will simplify this transition. Smartphones, such as the iPhone, have seen impressive growth over the last few years and consumers have quickly come to depend on the all-in-one devices.

In fact, IHS Research* reports that by 2015, more than half of handsets in use will be smartphones.
"We have designed a headset that takes advantage of many smartphone features, such as listening to music and using apps," said Stuart Bradshaw, Plantronics EMEA Head of Consumer Marketing "The Marque is Plantronics' smallest headset, offering excellent sound quality in an amazingly lightweight design, to complement and simplify our busy lives"
