Plantronics has an amazing history. “Pacific Plantronics” was incorporated in 1961 as a result of two airline pilots, Courtney Graham and Keith Larkin, seeing the need for heavy, cumbersome headphones to be replaced by something lighter and more practical. In 1962, Pacific Plantronics designed and produced the MS-50, the world’s first lightweight headset for use in aviation. Then, in 1964, the FAA approved the Plantronics MS50 headset for use by all US air traffic controllers.
