Plantronics Voyager Pro headset NOT compatible with 3GS

I've been having terrible problems with my Plantronics Voyager pro all singing and all dancing bluetooth headset and my 3GS.
I've tried 2 units to no avail and have a long case log with Plantronics support.
Apparently the inbuilt noise cancelling "intelligence" in the headset is conflicting with the iPhone noise cancelling electronics, producing a terrible user experience and is not just specific to Plantronics headsets, but all those that rely on headset noise-cancelling (like the Jawbone etc..)
Anyway, I notice that Plantronics have now changed their website to advise that the Voyager Pro is NOT compatible with the 3GS (in fact is seems like none of the noise-cancelling ones are)
This seems like a schoolboy error on Apple's part and speaking to Plantronics, they have no idea if and when a resolution is likely to be forthcoming!

I wish I had known this a few months ago. I had an original iPhone using a Plantronics Voyager 510. Everyone always said it was like I was in the same room talking to them. I bought a new 3Gs, and a Plantronics Voyager Pro. I seem to be able to hear just fine, but people I talk to keep having me repeat everything. Most people say it sounds like I'm talking to them from inside a hole somewhere. I got my headset last July. I switched back to my old bluetooth headset, it didn't resolve the problem, so I know it wasn't the Voyager Pro. I thought it might be interference from the metal cover I had bought from AT&T to protect the iPhone, and removing the cover seemed to give people better clarity, but they still complain. Now for long conversations I've had to return to using a corded headset.

  • Bose Mobile on ear headset not compatible with 3GS-hear no send

    Just a heads up: have Bose Mobile on ear headset with in line microphone.
    Was compatible with Apple 3G but not new 3GS. Probably a simple fix.
    Sound in fine; just cuts out all the time or totally no transmit. Had Bose call me several times and same with other calls. At best very hard to hear reported on other end to no audio at all. Hope Bose/Apple can fix near future.

    any news on developments here? Have just received my Bose on ear headset and get sound ok but receivers get choppy sound from me...really cannot use...have a 3GS 32GB

  • HT4111 What can I do to have the new Ipad discover plantronics voyager pro headset?

    What can I do to have the new Ipad discover plantronics voyager pro headset?

    Try this:
    Make sure you turn off the voyager ( red light) and then hold the power button until you see the alternating red and blue flashing light that indicates it is discoverable.  Then go back to the iPad settings and you should see that it has discovered the voyager.  Then select (touch where it says 'voyager') and it should pair.

  • Plant tonics Voyager Pro headset not recognised by...

    Hi,
    I am using the latest app, and have successfully paired a Plntronics Voyager Pro headset with my iPad which works in other apps. Unfortunately, Skype refuses to acknowledge its existence.
    Anyone got any ideas, I have tried re-pairing but not yet reinstalled the app.
    Has anyone had this same problem?
    I am on IOS 8.1.2

    Just tried reinstallng the App, and still no joy.
    Lots of Bluetooth problem posts though, and no real solutions other than to update the app, which I have already done.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks.

    Hi HP support,
    I was just wondering if anyone add a solution to make the
    HP OfficeJet Pro 8500_A910_231 work in Windows 8
    Consumers Preview yet. Because every time I try to run the
    installer it tells me that this printer is not compatible with
    my operating system.

    Hello Jason.
    Print and scan drivers for your HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 are already included as part of the Windows 8 Consumer Preview.  You should be able to print and scan by simply connecting your OfficeJet to your pc.
    Have a nice day!

  • Why is my IPhone 5 not pairing with my Plantronics voyager pro headset?

    Can someone please help out? My iPhone 5 is not pairing with any of my devices.

    I upgraded from IOS5 to IOS 6 this morning.  Previously my Voyager PRO+ was able to stream music, youtube, Siri, any audio.  Since the upgrade, Siri still works-- but no streaming of audio goes to my headset anymore.  I was thinking of "forgetting" the device and re-linking, but based on your experience, I'm guessing that won't help.

  • Plantronics Voyager PLT-510 not audible with iPhone

    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1701919
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8877788
    I'm just following up from the above prematurely archived threads (what is with this forum doing that before an issue is resolved!). I have the same issue and must add my name to the list of those who have reported it.
    I have tried this by calling my own voicemail.
    When I use the 510 to call myself from my VoIP line or Nokia E71, it works fine and I can hear every word I record.
    When I call from the iPhone, the iPhone seems to be trying to employ some sort of 'echo cancellation' and cuts out / lowers volume to zero, any words that I speak below a certain acceptable volume. In other words, I have to shout for the iPhone to 'allow' the words through.
    It seems there's always some sort of issue that means allegedly compatible hardware (it says so on the Plantronics website where iPhone is listed), needs to be trashed.
    Before I buy a new multipoint headset, is there any way I can make the iPhone stop lowering the volume of the 510 like this, or stop the headset doing the same if it is the cause?

    Yes, I also have a Voyager 510 and I also have trouble with the volume (I have a iPhone 3G). The other person on the line has trouble hearing me. This seems to be worse since I upgraded the phone to the 2.2 software.
    The Plantronics site claims that the 510 is compatible with the iPhone. I think that this headset worked better with earlier versions of the iPhone software, but I can't be totally sure.

  • Officejet pro 8000 not compatible with mac??

    I have Yosemite OS (Mavericks before now) and duplex won't work on my printer. It tries to print both sides (and actually looks like it will) but then spits the second side out without printing on it and goes on to print page 3 on the second page. I can't print in draft, the lowest quality seems to be 300dpi with no option to use less ink, the pages are soaking in ink! Ridiculous waste. Can't seem to print in colour! Everything screems uncompatible drivers here, but there are no updated drivers for this printer on mac. Please help!!

    Hello @leonsmyth , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I understand you're running into Yosemite print problems.  I would like to try and assist.
    I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
    I would then suggest reinstalling your printer by running your Apple updates:  OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • Voyager Legend will not work with my laptop

    I have an HP Pavilion dv6-3120us Entertainment Notebook PC with Windows 7(64-bit). I recently purchased a new bluetooth headset and am unable to get it to work with my laptop. The Previous headset was a Plantronics Voyager Pro which worked great with my laptop, all I had to do was pair it and that was that. My new headset is the Plantronics Voyager Legend and after pairing, it starts installing drivers and all but one are fine. 
            Bluetooth AV                                               Ready to use
            Bluetooth Remote Control                       Ready to use
            Bluetooth AV Remote Control Target   Ready to use
            Bluetooth Peripheral Device                   No Driver Found
            Bluetooth Hands-free                               Ready to use
    I've uninstalled, reinstalled several times and it didn't help, It shows that the device is paired, but doesn't reroute audio to the headset or the microphone. It shows in audio devices but says disconnected, when I click on 'connect', nothing happens and 'set as default' is grayed out and I cannot select it. I know that there is a separate bluetooth USB adapter available, but I'm using the headset mostly for my phone (which works fine) and occasionally my laptop so I don't really want to purchase it. I've already contacted Plantronics about the issue and this was their response:
    "Thank you for contacting Plantronics Technical Support.
    If you are using built in blue tooth and not our blue tooth USB adapter unfortunately we cannot assist you with your built in blue tooth, Plantronics does not supply drivers, here is our statement with regards to using built in blue tooth:
    If you are pairing the headset directly to your computer, the drivers that are required are for your computer's internal Bluetooth adapter. You will need the drivers supplied by your computer's manufacturer in order for you to use your Bluetooth headset as an audio device.
    Different computer manufacturers and computer models will use different internal Bluetooth adapters, so you'll have to contact your computer manufacturer to get those drivers. Most major computer manufacturers have a "Drivers" or "Drivers and Downloads" page on their web site in which you can enter your computer model in order to retrieve available drivers. You can typically find the Bluetooth drivers under the "Network" category. "
    I've checked for bluetooth driver updates and it says that none are available, I've also uninstalled and reinstalled the bluetooth drivers from the laptop. Sorry that this is a short novel, but I wanted to make sure to give all available details, any help or advice would be welcome. Thank you in advance.

    Hi Nt_winters,
    Thank you for all the information, it is very useful. I understand you are having an issue with HP Pavilion dv6-3120us Notebook with Windows 7 and your new Plantronics Voyager Legend. In the device manager are all unknown devices removed as well as the Bluetooth devices for the headset? Broadcom is recommended for Plantronics Voyager Legend headsets. Here is a link to that driver.
    Hope this helps.

  • MacBook Air does not See a Plantronics Voyager Pro bluetooth headset

    My MacBook Air does not "see" my Plantronics Voyager Pro + bluetooth headset as a discoverable bluetooth asset.  I have read on Apple and Plantronics forums that these two devices should be compatible, but so far no luck.  Anybody have any experience with this situation?

    Turns out the Voyager Pro Bluetooth headset failed...exchanging it for a new one and should be GTG.  Thanks.

  • Just purchased an iPhone5 and can not pair my Plantronics Voyager Pro HD.  I can't get a flashing red/blue signal light.

    Just purchased an iPhone5 and can not pair my Plantronics Voyager Pro HD.  I can't get a flashing red/blue signal light.

    Did you press and hold the power button until the LED flashes alternating red/blue - you may have to hold it for quite a few seconds.  If the LED is not flashing red/blue, then it is not in pairing mode, and I would then call Plantronics tech support as their manual has nothing else to offer (I have the same headset, but I had no problem pairing with my iPhone 5 when I upgraded from my iPhone 4).
    In the USA, call 1-866-363-2583 for Plantronics.
