The Plantronics Voyager 5200, Voyager Focus UC, and BackBeat GO 3 have been recognised for excellence in product design in Singapore. The pioneer in audio and wearable technology was honoured with the Red Dot Award, an international distinction for high design quality, in the Communication category for three of its products: Voyager 5200, Voyager Focus UC and BackBeat GO 3.

Participants from 57 nations had registered about 5,200 products and innovations for the Red Dot Award for Product Design 2016. Only products which set themselves apart considerably through their excellent design receive the sought-after quality seal from the international Red Dot jury. "Plantronics believes that functional, attractive, high-quality design is fundamental to developing products that integrate seamlessly into today's modern lifestyles," said Darrin Caddes, Vice President, Corporate Design, Plantronics.

"A premium design helps to convey confidence and competence during a call or while listening to music; delivering comfort and ease of use that enhances the user experience. We create solutions for people who want outstanding communications regardless of location or situation; whether you're a music-loving commuter, an open-office worker, or working remotely from home or a café, and we'll continue to make the integration of exceptional design coupled with industry-leading performance audio and overall reliability and comfort a top priority."

Plantronics Voyager 5200 is designed for stability and comfort on a wide range of ear shapes and sizes, and will fit 90% of people*. A multipurpose charging case** serves as both a handy, grab-and-go dock for recharging the headset, and a protective case that provides up to an additional 14 hours of talk time on the go.

The Voyager Focus UC headset's high-quality design provides superior audio on both sides of the call. Leatherette ear cushions wrapped around pillow-soft memory foam deliver all-day comfort, while a cushioned metal headband provides durability and helps maintain a comfortable, secure fit. The immersive on-the-ear design means that many high frequency noises like office sounds and voices are reduced in volume. The Voyager Focus UC was also a 2016 CES Innovations Award Honoree.

Every BackBeat GO 3 was designed purposefully - from the custom speaker drivers to the precision tuning of the sound - to deliver a best-in-class listening experience. Six mm drivers in each BackBeat GO 3 earbud result in a wider sound stage and range of frequencies to deliver natural sound and balanced highs and lows. Designed to seal in sound and block out noise, BackBeat GO 3 includes three different size earbuds to ensure a comfortable fit that stays put on the go. BackBeat GO 3 is the latest member of the critically acclaimed BackBeat family of wireless stereo products to be honoured: BackBeat SENSE, BackBeat PRO, and BackBeat FIT all received CES Innovations Honoree
Awards and iF Design Awards in 2015 and 2016.

The Voyager 5200 is available with a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of S$199 and the accompanying charging case is available for S$69.
The Voyager Focus UC is available for a MSRP of S$499.
BackBeat GO 3 has a MSRP of S$169 and is S$219 with the charge case.
