New Plantronics headphones let users multitask with iPod and mobile phones

With this new headset, users can answer a phone call while listening to their iPod. To switch between music and phone, customers simply flip a switch on the headset cord. One volume control adjusts sound for both devices.

Plantronics expects that the secure fit and versatility offered by the MX100-s will be popular among active consumers, such as those who like to skateboard, exercise or simply walk while listening to music and keeping in touch with friends by phone.

The MX100-s works with the Apple iPod, other MP3 players and most headset-ready mobile phones, including models from Motorola, LG, Audiovox and Kyocera. Adapters for most popular Nokia and Sony Ericsson mobile phones are available free; see the inside of the MX100-s' package for details. The MX100-s has a suggested retail price of $39.99 and is available at Apple Stores, Apple.com and other retail outlets where iPods are featured.
