Plantronics - Voyager Focus UC with Charge Stand (Poly) Bluetooth Dual-Ear (Stereo) Headset Boom Mic USB-A Compatible PC and Mac Active Noise Canceling Works Teams, Zoom & More

1+ month after using this headset from a working professional whose majority of the day goes in Online Conference via Zoom, MS Teams , Cisco Webex and Phone Calls . This review is after trying Sennheiser, Bose , Beats Headsets in the past 2 monthsPros :1.Comfort - Light and sits easy on Head . Unlike the Bose , Beats, Sennheiser which are bulky .Those headsets are more for listening to quality music2.COnnectivity - I don't use Bluetooth on Laptop for connecting this one. Use the USB Dongle . Works like a charm3.Dual Connectivity - Effortless connectivity of the headphone between my Laptop and Phone. I have stopped using AirPods for Phone after getting this headset4.Battery Life - Full Charge of 14 + hours takes me through 2-3 working days . I still keep on charging it after it goes below 5 hours . With the Charger stand provided with the set , it is easy to charge right there and then.5.Sound Quality - Good. All the Headsets I had bought for my 'Experiments with Headset' had brilliant sound quality. I am able to hear clearly the other side. I did not hear anyone complaining about my sound in any of the conference calls or phone calls6.Range - Its just OK . I can roam about in 5-10 odd feet without breaking but beyond that , loose the connection altogether .For a Work COnference Call , its enough to stretch around the room . Unless someone is expecting to do gardening outside while taking call this has enough Range7.Ease of Usage - Buttons are easy to work with . Its prompts while on Mute help.Plantronics Hub app on both Laptop and Phone are quintessential and helpfulCons :1.Range - Would have loved to get a better range .5-10 feet sometimes is too less when I want to make Coffee in kitchen while taking a call OR Attend someone at the Front Door .2.Price - Plantronics can probably bring the cost around USD 100 . $ 150 still is high .3.Quality - This part is bitter sweet. The lightweight Headset makes it easy to work with all day , however this lightweight also makes it frail to be broken VERY Easily .

I’ve used Sennheiser, Bose and Plantronics (now Poly) headsets in the past. I am not what I’d consider an audiophile, but I can definitely tell you there is a difference in sound quality between all three.Plantronics (Poly) headsets though, would have to take the cake when it comes to compatibility across multiple systems for simple voice communications.This headset in particular is one that I bought during the COVID lockdown for my remote work in IT. At previous employers, I had similar headset and found them to be comfortable and reliable enough. Not to mention, a full charge definitely lasts for my entire 8hr shifts and even the slightly longer 10hr shifts.I’m still using the same headset I bought 2-3yrs ago and have found that they work well on my cellphone, Discord on either mobile or PC, not to mention that they can also work on my PS5 (yes, I’ve done this because I got sick of the gaming headset dying after a few hours, where this headset’s charge last a lot longer).Now for the detractors. These are no Bose QC or Sennheiser, so I wouldn’t recommend them for those who just want to listen to music. Nor would I recommend them for competitive gaming as they are not so noise canceling that they would leave you completely immersed in the game environment enough to pickup sounds that would help keep you from being ambushed in game.The noise cancellation it does have, is strong enough for you to not realize your co-worker 8ft away is asking you a question, right until they’ve raised their voice enough that everyone within 25ft can hear them.

The headset I received came with BT700 instead of BT600. I can't comment on the difference as I never had the BT600 but it should improve the range a bit and it also much smaller.This is an older model but I prefer this over the newer one as the new one looks a bit tacky to my taste. I was concerned with the red accents at first but it looks great in person and you will really only see them when you look closely. This version looks more professional to me, including the logo.Sound-wise, this is not a hi-fi nor a pro-level headset but it sounds great for everyday online meetings. It's really comfortable too so it's great for those who spend a good chunk of their day in meetings. Call quality is decent and sounds clear both ways. We use Teams at work so it compresses the sound anyway. What's important to me is calls sound clear for both me and to those on the other line.I use a different headset for music to I am not expecting much for music quality. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of music playback. Just note that you need to enable ANC for it to sound it's best as turning it off makes it sound really thin.One thing of note is that this headset already has great noise cancelling capabilities so I turned-off the mic noise cancelling in Teams as it's too much of a good thing and makes mic sound too soft at times.

I have had these for just over 2 years and I have recommended to at least 5 people who have purchased, It’s now disconnecting from my computer not sure why .. I reconnect it again and it’s fine but it’s annoying to keep doing that and of course the warrant I purchased is now over 😩
