Pulsar 590A and Pulsar 590E are bluetooth headsets. They are designed for use with bluetooth and A2DP (for stereo listening) enabled cellphones; including many Nokia, Sony, LG Group, Motorola, and Palm models; most other bluetooth enabled devices; or with the Plantronics universal adapter. Unlike most bluetooth headsets, the Pulsar 590A/E has stereo capabilities, meaning it can do two separate audio channels.
