Plantronics Marque 2 M165 Bluetooth Headset
The Plantronics Marque 2 M165 is our advanced Bluetooth headset built for professionals and on-the-go communicators who demand crystal-clear audio and effortless control. We engineered the M165 with dual-microphone Active Noise Cancellation to isolate your voice from wind, traffic, and background chatter, ensuring every call comes through sharp and professional.
Voice commands let you answer, ignore, or check battery status without reaching for your phone. The DeepSleep power-saving mode activates after 90 minutes of inactivity, extending standby time up to 180 days. Our precision-tuned 6mm speaker delivers rich audio across music and calls, while three interchangeable eartips and a stabilizer ensure a secure, comfortable fit for hours of wear.

Noise cancellation and voice clarity
We built the Marque 2 M165 around two precision microphones that work together to cancel wind and ambient noise before it reaches your caller. The primary mic captures your voice, while the secondary mic samples background sound and actively subtracts it in real time.
This dual-microphone system excels in challenging environments—walking city streets, sitting in a café, driving with windows cracked. The same noise-reduction architecture powers our entire professional Bluetooth headset lineup, refined across thousands of field tests. You’ll hear the difference on your first call: voices come through natural and full-bodied, not tinny or compressed.
Voice command interface
Say “Answer” when a call comes in, or “Ignore” to send it to voicemail—no button press required. The voice-prompt system also responds to “Check battery” and “Redial,” giving you hands-free control over core functions.
We designed these commands to work reliably in noisy settings, using the same voice-recognition chipset that filters background chatter during calls. The system learns your voice pattern over the first few uses, improving accuracy each time you issue a command. Voice alerts notify you of incoming caller ID, connection status, and remaining talk time, so you stay informed without glancing at your phone.
Battery life and DeepSleep technology
A single charge delivers seven hours of continuous talk time and nine days of active standby. When you don’t use the headset for 90 minutes, DeepSleep mode kicks in automatically, dropping power consumption to near-zero and extending standby to six months.
The charging cradle holds enough juice for one full recharge, effectively doubling your runtime between wall outlets. A quick 20-minute charge restores two hours of talk time when you’re in a rush. Battery-status voice prompts announce remaining capacity in hours, eliminating surprise shutdowns mid-conversation.

The headset features a P2i nano-coating that repels moisture and sweat without adding bulk. This hydrophobic layer protects internal components from humidity and light rain exposure, but the M165 is not rated for submersion or heavy water contact. The coating is ideal for everyday use in varying weather and gym conditions.
The M165 uses two microphones: one captures your voice, while the second samples background noise. The system actively subtracts ambient sound in real time, isolating your voice from wind, traffic, and crowd chatter. This architecture excels in challenging environments like city streets and open-window driving.
Most users find the medium eartip comfortable for all-day wear. The large tip offers a tighter seal and maximum passive noise isolation, while the small tip suits smaller ear canals. We also include a rigid stabilizer fin that hooks into your outer ear for added security during movement. You can use the eartips alone or combine them with the stabilizer.
The M165 uses Bluetooth 4.1 and is compatible with iOS, Android, Windows, and any device running Bluetooth 2.1 or newer. NFC tap-to-pair is available on supported Android devices for quick pairing without entering menus. The headset maintains a stable connection up to 33 feet from your phone.
