With Three Models To Choose From -- Telephone, PC and Mobile -- GN Express is
the First Line of Headsets to Bring Cutting Edge Headset Technology and the GN
Netcom Standard of Quality and Performance to Professional Office, SOHO, PC,
and Mobile Telephone Users
NASHUA, N.H., May 12 /PRNewswire/ -- GN Netcom, Inc., the premier headset
manufacturer for the call center and professional headset markets, announces
the GN Express headset line, developed to deliver the first high performance,
low cost headsets for mobile, SOHO, and personal computer headset users.
Designed with human factors and user research, GN Netcom has combined its
extensive knowledge of advanced headset technology along with a solid
understanding of the needs of the mobile communications, computer/Internet
telephony, and personal headset users to introduce a new superior alternative
to headsets currently on the market.
The GN Express-Telephone headset offers two wearing styles in one headset
and provides hands-free convenience with clear, natural sound quality and
durability for traditional telephone users. The GN Express-Mobile headset
provides mobile communications users hands-free safety and convenience, while
delivering better sound quality. The GN Express-PC optimizes PC sound
applications for maximized headset performance, especially for speech
recognition, computer telephony, voice-over-Internet, and video conferencing
applications. The three GN Express headsets, available through GN Netcom's
specialty distribution network, are immediately available in over 350
locations worldwide and come with a one-year warranty. List price for the
GN Express-Telephone is $109 and the list price for the GN Express-Mobile and
GN Express-PC is $59 each.
"Our experience in the professional and call center markets enables us to
produce a high quality headset for the mobile, SOHO, and computer user that
outperforms the existing products on the market," said P. Michael Fairweather,
president and CEO of GN Netcom, Inc. "As the GN Express headset line once
again demonstrates, we will bring a GN Netcom quality solution to new and
emerging markets."
Hands-Free Convenience, Superior Sound Quality, and User Research
In an independent study used to validate and improve the headset design,
GN Express headsets were tested against competitive headsets now on the
market. Participants preferred the comfort and ease of use of the GN Express
headsets and confirmed the importance of convertibility -- the ability to
change between an on-the-ear wearing style and an over-the-head wearing style.
GN Express headsets' hands-free convenience together with GN Netcom sound
quality, comfort, and durability provide users with performance not available
until now. Each headset has a sleek design and can be configured to be worn
on-the-ear or over-the-head, giving the user the ultimate in comfort and
durability options. GN Express headsets are super lightweight (.75 ounces),
comfortable for extended wear, and durable. A noise-canceling microphone is
positioned at the end of a flexible boom so it can be easily adjusted close to
the speaker's mouth, maximizing the microphone's performance in even the
noisiest user environments. The unique speaker design delivers clear, easy to
understand sound, and an RF (radio frequency) shielded cord that minimizes
interference.
GN Express-Telephone
GN Express-Telephone is a complete headset-and-amplifier system giving
users the hands-free capability needed for multi-tasking, including computer
work, taking notes, or looking for a file. This is the only headset designed
to bring both high performance and true affordability to both the small and
home office. The GN Express amplifier works with nearly all phones: home,
office, single, and multi-line and is compact and easy to set up. It comes
with an AC adapter and modular connecting cord, and has a switch that enables
the user to change easily between headset and handset use. Sliding volume
controls make adjusting the sound simple.
GN Express-Mobile
GN Express-Mobile provides convenience, safety, and productivity
improvements for mobile, wireless, and PCS telephone users by leaving their
hands free while talking on a mobile phone in order to carry luggage in an
airport, drive a car, or take notes. The headset can be easily packed in a
briefcase or suitcase for even more convenience, and the noise-canceling
microphone available on all the GN Express headsets will eliminate background
noise to provide clear and understandable conversations from the car, airport,
or on the street. Users connect the headset using the 2.5-mm port on many
mobile and cordless telephones. The connector cord length is 4 feet.
GN Express-PC
The GN Express-PC, optimized for speech recognition applications,
computer/Internet telephony, and voice-over-Internet, delivers great sound
even in noisy conditions. The headset features a low distortion microphone in
a specially tuned housing. This microphone delivers the flat and extended
frequency response (100-5500 Hz) and noise cancellation characteristics needed
for continuous dictation and speech recognition software. GN Express-PC's
microphone system was designed with the input of speech recognition software
developers to ensure that the sound transmitted delivers superior accuracy.
