In an effort to keep up with the Joneses in the Bluetooth headset world, Plantronics is revealing its first-ever dual-microphone headset, dubbed the Voyager 835. Dual-microphone headsets are typically used to enhance your voice while keeping the surrounding background noise down. Some of our favorite headsets, including the Aliph Jawbone 2 and the BlueAnt V1, utilize this technology to boost outgoing audio quality.

The Voyager 835 is definitely designed for the mobile professional with its no-nonsense look and feel. It's not as flashy and feature-rich as other headsets in its category, but it still delivered good audio quality with a decent fit, and that sits just right by us. Some of the Voyager 835's features include AudioIQ that encourages noise suppression, Windsmart that reduces wind noise, multipoint that lets it connect to more than one device, and more. It'll cost around $119 MSRP and will be available later this month. You can read more about it in our full review of the Voyager 835.
