If you are considering a new Bluetooth headset, you may want to take a look at Plantronics Voyager PRO US.

The Voyager PRO UC is a dual-mode headset that packs integrated Bluetooth capabilities and comes with a USB dongle that allows PC phone software conversations (like Skype) to take place on your headset rather than through your laptop’s built-in microphone and speakers. Users can even stream audio over it and hear alerts when a VoIP call comes in. There quite a few technological features that are built in to this unit including noise canceling and much more. The only problem you may see with this unit is its MSRP. The Voyager PRO UC headset will go for $199.95 when it will go on sale at the end of this month.

Sleek Audio introduces SA6, a new kind of headphones, with some unique features at a relatively low price. What’s interesting about the SA6 is that it’s a completely modular system, with customizable treble and bass. This seems to be the the only in-ear headphones on the market right now to offer this feature.

The package includes the headphones, treble tips, bass ports, 3 sizes of rubber dual-flange ear tips, a cleaning tool, detachable cable, and carrying case.

The way you adjust the treble and bass in these headphones is by detaching and replacing the treble tips and bass ports. The set comes with Neutral, Plus, and Minus versions of each type. Sleek Audio claims a 10 decibel difference between the Plus and Minus units at a frequency of 20Hz. There is also a set of extended high frequency treble tips to complement the basic set.

The retail price on these is $249, but can be found for $199.
