Poly Voyager Focus UC with Charge Stand (Teams Version)

***Update after 3 days use: It turns out the bluetooth connectivity to the internal bluetooth on the Dell laptop wasn't reliable. I had to turn off the bluetooth mouse to gain bandwidth for the headset (this was intermittent and didn't show up at first). Using the included proprietary bluetooth fob with the Dell fixed this. It also adds fidelity (greater bandwidth) to audio and enables all headset functions on the PC (mute button, battery monitor). It does make the windows 10 Dell think the headset is on even when it's not as long as the bluetooth fob is connected. Maybe they can fix this at some point. I never use the PCs internal mic or speakers so this isn't an issue for me. Plantronics doesn't make this clear in their manual; updated documentation would help. *** I have gone through 2 other headphone to find something wireless for work. These were JBl and Sony. Not cheap either. 3rd time's the charm. -There's only a quick start guide included in the box. I highly recommend downloading the full 16 page manual from Plantronics/Poly's website. In addition there is a companion PC/Mac "hub" app that provides extra features and customization. -The device seems jewel-like compared to other headsets I've used. Switches and buttons are tactile and intuitive. I'm not taking off the headset to figure out what I'm switching. -ANC is less than other headsets. More ambient noise filters through -microphone is good. There is a HD mic option in the hub software which will increase the microphone's bandwidth at the cost of using more power. Without this turned on, the Hub app reports 13 hours talk time on full charge. I haven't tried this feature as I don't think I need it. I experimented with recording my voice (Webex recording) and found the playback highly audible but flat. It's not has high fidelity as a cheap set of USB wired headphones with a boom mic, but then again I'm not using the HD feature. Noise cancelling for the microphone is excellent. I work in an area with many servers and the noise is constant high volume "white noise". None of this is obvious to the listener. -Bluetooth is excellent. I'm using a Dell laptop with internal bluetooth. Walking around the office up to 40 feet this provided a clear signal at the headset and Dell. At 40 feet (behind steel framed walls with lots of computer equipment) the signal was starting to degrade but was still perfectly understandable (again using webex recording feature to test at the laptop. It comes with a bluetooth fob that might provide more functions (mute using the mic button instead of the app), but I'd rather use the laptop's bluetooth, so I haven't tried this. -PC operations are excellent. I did not have to make any configuration changes to use it. It paired quickly with the PC (Windows 10) and was the default audio and mic for all pc apps. I did not use the included bluetooth fob. Sound fidelity on the headphones is good. Not as good as Sony or JBL, but better than the cheap logitech wired headphones I had been using. Additional integration of functions using the include bluetooth fob might be possible (mute doesn't work on the headset without it) but I don't need this. If clicking the mute button on the PC app wasn't practical then I'd try the included bluetooth fob. -phone (android motoG7) operations are excellent. First time I hit the "call" button the phone asked me if I wanted to use google (assistant) always. I chose this. Google/android responded and easily called my contacts (I also chose to share contact information on the android. Even more cool, incoming calls are announced using the name in my contact book and the headset's "voice". Sound quality is very good (amazon music app on android) and headset buttons work well to control the phone app. -interoperability is excellent. I have it paired via bluetooth with both my laptop and android phone (moto G7). I haven't played with it a lot, but for example when I call cell phone from my laptop, the headsets signal an incoming call on my cell phone and announce the caller without interrupting the call from the laptop. According to the manual, tap the call button on the headset to end the first call (if desired), and then tap again to answer the 2nd incoming call (if desired). When listening to music on the phone, if a PC alert occurs, it pauses playback on the android phone. Sensors are excellent. It knows when you put it on and announces its status. When you take it off it mutes the call (this may require using the bluetooth fob on PCs). It knows which direction the mic is swivelled and switches left/right earpieces accordingly, so you can wear the thing with the mic on either side. Pretty cool. The stand connected to my laptops dock. When the headphones are docked, the hub software recognizes it and allowed me to update the headphones firmware as well as change settings for a dozen or more features (I left the defaults, but I might play with the HD mic setting sometime). The hub software does not see the headphones when connected via just bluetooth to the PC. This may require use of the bluetooth dongle (which I don't). I updated the headset's firmware (took 5 minutes) and topped off the charge. The stand is heavy enough not to easily tip over. Very cool. Comfort is excellent. I've been wearing them for 3 hours with no discomfort. The ANC reduces background noises but doesn't eliminate them. The JBL and Sony I had to take off when not using them (too hot). Being able to mute PC apps via the headset mic mute button is going to be important for some. Sorry, I didn't try the included bluetooth fob with the hub software to see if this enabled it, but I suspect it does.

I work from a virtual office - my home. My staff is located around the world. My headquarters is in another state. My customers are everywhere from Japan to Seattle, Canada to Chile. Needless to say I spend a LOT of time on either the phone or VoIP via Skype or conference calls through the laptop. Probably close to 30 hours a week. I've used this for about a month now. This Plantronics Voyager is worth every penny I paid for it and I wish I had it years ago. You get what you pay for! LISTENING audio quality - the tonal range is awesome, you hear them very clearly. It has active noise cancellation (ANC) for listening which really helps. I listen to music on it in the evening and it's a respectable headset for that although not a $400 audiophile unit. SPEAKING audio quality stands out as well. People I talk with tell me they can hear me much clearer. I have not had a single sound quality complaint and I used to get them daily. The speaking audio also has ANC so my keyboard sound is much less. The controls are very easy to use. The mute button is on the boom mic and easy to use. Auto answer when you put it on your head. I was worried it would be hard to switch between the phone and laptop but after getting used to it for about a week it becomes second nature. There is a USB dongle that connects it to the laptop loaded an app that allows control of all the options and features, shows battery life, connections, handles software upgrades and more. A cool thing is if it's muted the app will tell you on screen if you start talking, either on the phone or laptop. Skype integration is great. If you need skype get the version that has the drivers, I think it's the B version. The dongle is red if muted, blue if live. Battery life is great too. I've gone about 12 hours of use on one charge. It's comfortable for all day use. The only downside is distance. Its spec'd at 150 feet and I can't get that on the phone (bluetooth) or the laptop. With them in my home office the best I can get thru one plaster wall is about 35 feet. I have gone through 4 other headsets in less than two years. 3 wired headsets that got ripped off my head when the wire got caught. I had to switch the plug from the phone to the laptop. The voice quality was poor but they were cheap at $15 each. I then spent what I thought was a lot on a Logitech H800 at about $80. It was supposed to with my laptop and cell phone. It was ok with the laptop but while it paired with the phone I could never get it to work right between the two devices. Sound quality and physical quality (cheap plastic feel) was poor. Controls were poor.

It's sunerb on calls , noise cancellation is arround 60 Percent !! But still it's best one amonest avalible . Music listings is also sunerb and relax .. no pain in the ear after using hours !!

Prodotto arrivato nei tempi, fantastico da usare, collega PC e telefono assieme, il suono è molto buono, chiaramente non è una cuffia per audiofili, ma s ela cava bene, la qualità del prodotto è alta anche al tatto, il tutto molto semplice da usare. In ufficio non và oltre i 6/7 metri di distanza, ma non importa funziona bene. Ottimo acquisto

LLevo varios años con esos auriculares. Van muy bien y encima puedes escuchar música en alta fidelidad con muy buena calidad y además puedes llevarlos puestos varias horas.

Excellent produit. Très polyvalent, super autonomie, confort des oreilles et fonctionnalités complètes. Super complet. La Reduction du bruit fonctionne bien mais n'a pas le niveau d'un bose

ANC anahtarını açmak veya kapatmak dışarıdan duyduğum sesleri engelleme açısından hiç bir şey farkettirmedi. Ya bana teslim edilen ürün arızalı ya da ANC özelliği kullanıcının farkedemeyeceği kadar az gürültü engelleme yapabiliyor.
