About this deal

There are two variations of this headset. You can buy it in either a USB-A connector or a USB-C connection. It seems like the industry is moving towards all USB-C ports, which are smaller and can be plugged in upside down, which is nice. Noise canceling with Acoustic Fence technology (using two microphones) to Microsoft Teams Open Office- certification levels Der Tragekomfort ist hervorragend, auch bei langen Konferenzen. Die Ohrpolster sind weich und angenehm zu tragen, und der verstellbare Bügel sorgt dafür, dass das Headset perfekt auf meinem Kopf sitzt.

After you plug the headset into the computer, you can use some buttons to interact with the computer. Volume, Mute, ANC, and Answer buttons.Simply turn the ANC switch on and you'll feel as if your all alone so you can focus on the work that needs to get done. Voice alerts: Volume maximum, volume minimum, mute on, mute off, noise-canceling off, answering call Applications Supported: Plantronics Hub desktop version only, available for Windows/Mac. Plantronics Manager Pro suites: Asset Management and Adoption, Call Quality and Analytics, Health and Safety

Many people are now working from home, and their business communication software is on their computer such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, RingCentral, just to name a few. Perhaps your not in a call center but your working from home and there are kids, dogs, or other people being loud and causing you to lose focus on your work you need to concentrate on. Wearing the headset makes you feel professional and that you're not wearing a cheaply made product. Acoustic fence technology: Aside from keeping employees focused with the hybrid active noise cancelling technology, Poly also makes it easier to enjoy audio meetings too. Acoustic fence technology makes it feel like you’re in a quiet office for the person on the other end of your call. This comfortable and lightweight on-ear headset from Poly provides today’s employees with the state-of-the-art audio experiences that they need. With advanced and hybrid noise cancellation technology, Poly ensures that team members stay focused on what matters.PC Audio Receive Frequency Response: Dynamic EQ optimized for PC wideband voice telephony up to 7 kHz or for multimedia 20 Hz to 20 kHz For wired headsets, it doesn't matter all that much, but it is convenient to push the phone button on the headset to be able to answer and end calls rather than having to navigate the mouse. There is a soft silicon cushion on the top of the headband that makes the headset's weight feel light and comfortable.

Distracting noises lead to less productivity, frustrated customers, and increased stress levels for agents on the phone. Built for integrations: All of the USB headsets available from Poly, and personal speakerphones work with the most popular platforms. Aside from Microsoft Teams, users can also connect with Zoom, Avaya, Skype for Business, Cisco, Google Cloud and more. In the video in the above section, we do a sound test that shows how well the microphone works. Watch the review video in the above section and fast forward to 5:00 to hear how it sounds. The weight is almost 50% of the comparable headset, the Jabra Evolve 80, which weighs 11.4oz. You will find that the lighter the headset, the more comfortable the headset is for wearing for more extended periods. One of the biggest indicators of a headset having good sound quality is the range in bass. Typically small lightweight headsets have flat bass and just music doesn't sound good.

For now I decided to somehow push through this and bear the discomfort in the name of the mic sound quality mentioned above. But, it definitely makes me not listen to music in between calls and to put the headphones down whenever I can to get some temporary relief for my ears to survive the day. There is advanced functionality that only works on specific software, which most notably is remote answering. Imagine a call center with agents all next to one another the sound from each of the agents can become very distracting making it hard to hear the caller. The headband has a piece of stainless steel mixed with a soft silicon cushion at the top of the headband for increase in comfort. The design they put together just looks clean and well made.

Alongside an excellent microphone experience, Poly also offers advanced hybrid active noise cancellation, which users can adjust to suit their environment. Whether you’re listening to calls or music, you get a sensational level of sound. Features include: Some headsets have fixed position speakers and don't rotate, but most people's ears aren't flat, typically requiring the ear cushions to swivel. In the last few months I am on a hunt for perfect work from home headphones. As a part of this, I tried multiple solutions including using Plantronics Voyager 8200UC and Voyager 6200UC (good mic noise cancelling, but the sound was far too robotic / overprocessed on both), Poly 5220 (good mic, but weak mic noise cancellation), and using an external V-Moda boom mic connected to a Behringer USB audio mixer (amazing mic, but virtually no mic noise cancellation).

BW8225-M: Call answer/end (Microsoft Teams button), mute, volume: up and down, ANC: off, mid and high
