P2i\u2019s innovative technology will be used on select Plantronics devices, making them even more reliable and providing significant protection against damage from moisture. The invisible P2i coating has a thickness equivalent to one thousandth of a human hair, and does not change the look or feel of the Plantronics products. Its ultra-thin size means it also does not affect electrical conductivity, ensuring that the product can be treated, inside and out. The new award-winning Voyager Legend\u2122 and BackBeat GO headsets, including the new white BackBeat GO headset, include P2i\u2019s nano-coating.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAustralians are very active and always on the go, so moisture shouldn\u2019t alter the performance of their headset. As experts in wearable technology, Plantronics recognises that headsets should operate whatever the environment, so this partnership with P2i was a natural choice,\u201d said Peter Petrides, National Sales Manager, Plantronics Australia &amp; New Zealand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re excited to introduce P2i\u2019s nano-coating to the Voyager Legend and BackBeat GO headsets, including the new white BackBeat GO headset. With the P2i coating, any liquid that lands on these devices will simply bead up and run off the headset, instead of permeating electrical components and potentially causing corrosion damage.\u201d<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>PRICING AND AVAILABILITY <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Marque 2 and the enhanced BackBeat GO headset (with P2i nano-coating technology) are available now, priced at AU$79.00 and AU$119.00 respectively.
