Design
Devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better experience.
Resistance to sweat makes it ideal for use while doing sports.
The device is protected with extra seals to prevent failures caused by dust, raindrops, and water splashes.
We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
The device is dustproof and water-resistant. Water-resistant devices can resist the penetration of water, such as powerful water jets, but not being submerged into water.
The cable is designed to minimize tangling.
cable length
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Plantronics Blacktop 500)
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Plantronics Voyager Legend UC)
A long cable ensures more freedom of movement.
Foldable devices are easier to transport and take up less storage space.
waterproof depth rating
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Plantronics Blacktop 500)
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Plantronics Voyager Legend UC)
The waterproof depth rating indicates how well the device is protected against water ingress and water pressure. Devices which can withstand more water pressure are better for swimming or diving.
Sound quality
This type of device allows you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise. Ideal for plane rides and morning commutes.
The device sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal which reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out.
lowest frequency
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Plantronics Blacktop 500)
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Plantronics Voyager Legend UC)
The lowest frequency at which the device produces audio. The lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
Devices with neodymium magnets are lighter and more powerful than those which use ferrite magnets. They also have more bass and clear high notes.
highest frequency
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Plantronics Blacktop 500)
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Plantronics Voyager Legend UC)
The highest frequency at which device produces audio. The higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
driver unit size
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Plantronics Blacktop 500)
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Plantronics Voyager Legend UC)
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device. Bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.
sound pressure level
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Plantronics Blacktop 500)
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Plantronics Voyager Legend UC)
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
impedance
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Plantronics Blacktop 500)
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Plantronics Voyager Legend UC)
Impedance is the device’s electrical resistance to the current being pushed through it. The lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.
Microphone
These microphones are designed to filter out background noise from the desired sound. Especially useful in noisy environments.
More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise.
mic sensitivity
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Plantronics Blacktop 500)
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Plantronics Voyager Legend UC)
It's the 'loudness' of the sound that the microphone can pick up.
lowest mic frequency
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Plantronics Blacktop 500)
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Plantronics Voyager Legend UC)
The lowest frequency that the mic can pick up. Better for recording bass.
highest mic frequency
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Plantronics Blacktop 500)
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Plantronics Voyager Legend UC)
The highest frequency that the mic can pick up. Better for recording treble.
The microphone can be attached or detached if necessary.
Power
Battery life
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Plantronics Blacktop 500)
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Plantronics Voyager Legend UC)
The device's battery life (when in use) as given by the manufacturer. With a longer battery life you have to charge the device less often.
The battery can be recharged and used over again.
An indicator shows you when the device has low battery.
charge time
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Plantronics Blacktop 500)
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Plantronics Voyager Legend UC)
The time it takes to fully charge the battery.
It supports a wireless charging standard such as Qi. To charge the device, you simply put it down on a compatible charging pad.
battery power
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Plantronics Blacktop 500)
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Plantronics Voyager Legend UC)
Battery power, or battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store. More battery power can be an indication of longer battery life.
Battery life of charging case
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Plantronics Blacktop 500)
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Plantronics Voyager Legend UC)
The battery life of the charging case as given by the manufacturer. A charging case with a longer battery life allows you to recharge your headphones on the go multiple times before having to recharge the case itself.
The battery is removable and can be replaced by the user if broken.
Connectivity
Wireless devices allow users more freedom of movement.
Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
The USB Type-C features reversible plug orientation and cable direction.
aptX is a codec used for transmitting audio wirelessly with Bluetooth. It is developed by Qualcomm, and supports 16-bit audio at a bit rate of 384kbps.
The device can connect at a greater distance via Bluetooth or infrared to another device.
This audio plug allows you to connect to a range of devices which use a standard 3.5mm jack.
Device supports fast Bluetooth pairing using NFC so it can communicate with other devices over Bluetooth. You can fastly pair devices without entering a code by simply holding one device next to the device with which it is to be paired.
The device can connect to Wi-Fi.
Wi-Fi version

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Plantronics Voyager Legend UC)
The Wi-Fi versions supported by the device.
Features
The device comes with its own special case or pouch, which is useful for safe transportation.
A headset is one headphone or pair with a built-in microphone. Headsets can be used for apps that require communication i.e. Skype, games with voice chat, mobile phones, etc.
You can use your voice to control key functions of the device and you can easily access your device without pushing any button.
With voice prompts, you will automatically receive information via audio messages – for instance, you may find out that the battery is running low, and it's time to recharge the device.
There is a control panel on the device body, so you can easily access the volume control or remote without having to interact with a cable or another device it's connected to.
An accelerometer is a sensor used to measure the linear acceleration of a device. A common application is detecting when a device changes between vertical and horizontal positions.
There is a control panel on the cable, so you can easily operate the device without having to interact with it.
Fast charging technologies, like Qualcomm’s Quick Charge or MediaTek’s Pump Express, are used to reduce the time it takes to charge a device. For example, with Quick Charge 3.0, the battery can be charged to 50% in just 30 minutes.
Multipoint allows you to link to more Bluetooth devices and switch between them. For example you can easily switch calls from one device to another without having to manually disconnect and reconnect.
