JPL Telecom's popular Commander headset is getting revamped, and we're here to tell you all about it.
The upgraded version of the work-from-anywhere headset will soon be available in both QD and USB variations, boasting all the extra gadgets needed to create the smoothest possible user experience.
Business-Class Headset at an Entry-Level Price
JPL Telecom has no doubt that the Commander belongs in its Business Headset category; but that hasn't stopped the headset manufacturer from pricing it more than fairly compared to market standard. This means that consumers get to enjoy a business-class headset for what is essentially an entry-level price. The upcoming upgrade is meant to reinforce that even further.
"We wanted to add even more value to the Commander," shares Jonathan Nuttall, UK Sales Manager at JPL Telecom.
Among other things, the upgraded Commander version has a more flexible headband and twisting speakers, allowing for much better personalization capabilities for users. It offers maximal physical comfort and is therefore perfectly designed for all-day wearing.
"As we've originated from a Call Center background, we wanted to try and maintain that lightweight, robust-but-comfortable wearing style," Nuttall explains.
It is important for Nuttall to emphasize that the new version of the Commander is designed for retail, which means that the target market is individual users as much as it is larger companies.
"We've basically brought our expertise from knowing what works in an all-day hard graft environment of a call center and applied it to the BYOD market. So, we can definitely see people buying this off the shelf for their office."
The Importance of Plug and Play
The revamped Commander headset has two variants: QD and USB (coming with a USB-A to USB-C adapter). Both variants come in monaural and binaural wearing styles, and both are Plug and Play (the QD model easily connecting to a designated USB cable to allow the PnP functionality).
JPL Telecom have seen the Plug and Play capability becoming increasingly crucial, especially when it comes to large companies.
