We are hoping Able Planet’s headset is as good as they promise. The company will be showing off its Clear Voice VoIP Headset , that “combines patent-pending Linx Audio and state-of-the-art active noise canceling technology,” at CES.

The Clear Voice VoIP Headset is manufactured with magnetostrictive components (whatever that means) and copper magnet wire, and contains an embedded high performance Linx Speaker. Ok so we get that the headset promises good call quality. But in addition the audio signal delivered by the Clear Voice VoIP Headset increases the perception of loudness without increasing the volume, enabling listeners to achieve full sound at lower volumes, helping people to preserve hearing. Able Planet, you are on to something! Reminds me of all “those people” that seem to be putting on their headphones with the volume cranked all the way up. Even Apple is looking to turn down the volume on your iPod.

Able Planet touts this headset as perfect for people with hearing loss that want to join the VoIP world. We are happy to see the people of the tech world caring for the hearing impaired. True story: Hulu has added Closed Captioning to its online video platform.
