Poly Plantronics Voyager 4320 UC BT USBA

I wanted a headphone which I can use for video calls from PC, or normal video/audio calls from phone, and sometime listen to music or just sounds to Corden myself off from open office noises with the ability to walk around and not tied to the PC. I tried several headsets, including JABRA EVOLVE2 85. This came out to be best one. Jabra ear cup type head phone creates vaccun on the ear and it hurts after a while, because despite you turn on 'hear through' feature, it is still hearing through the cups because ears are blocked, so it is quite bad despite the high price. Another problem with Jabra was connectivity between PC and phone. It does not pick both up unless you turn Bluetooth on/off 1-2 times and re connect once you are done with call on either. Then I tried this one, this is great, ears don't hurt, no issues with two devices taking calls. It has all the good stuff. I listen to music or something when I want to cut myself off from the office noises and then if a call some in either on PC or phone, it just switches to call mode and fades out the music completely. Great value for money for people who are on PC and phone most of their day

On paper, this product had all the things I was looking for: -Single ear style -Good quality mic -Noise cancellation -Reputable brand -USB C + bluetooth In actuality it does all those things well, however the major flaw is the software and connection. It claims to be Teams integrated, however I have constant problems when using it with Teams. Some of these issues are: -When you connect to the headset and then connect to your Teams call, it freezes, sometimes meaning I have to quit Teams, switch off the headset, open and connect to my Teams call without the headset, and then once I am in the call, I connect to it. -Constant Poly software updates - why!? -You need to quit the Poly software on your laptop for a smoother Teams experience - otherwise there seems to be a clash that causes freezing/crashes. In conclusion, maybe if you are using the latest version of Mac OS or Windows, you won't have issues, however, this is my experience with these headphones - very promising, but frustrating software and connection. Otherwise, once on call and stablized, they work well.

Very good overall, mic voice isolation is perfect. 2 areas that need improvement: battery life (1 working day day or slightly more), painful to the ears to wear for long periods (again within 8hour working day)

Works perfectly.

Excellent so far. Pairing is easy and fit is good

J'ai testé pas mal de casque PC pour mes RDV en visio : Les + Qualité du son USB-C (certain casque ont encore un "vieux" connecteur micro-USB) Application Poly Lens Autonomie : plutôt bonne, mais pas exceptionnelle non plus :1 journée complète en utilisation intensive, 8 heures de call/jour (semblable au casque Avantalk Alto Solo) Les - Le prix : le casque Avantalk Alto Solo - deux fois min cher marche quasiment aussi bien Pas de voyant "MUTE" (comme sur le casque Avantalk Alto Solo) Portée : correcte sans plus, même avec le Dongle BT700 : 20m sans obstacle, 8m avec obstacle identique au casque Avantalk Alto Solo , j'aurais apprécié un bip pour avertir lorsque la limite de portée est atteinte

Sound quality is good and can be use in Teams or Zoom. No complaints at all.

UPDATE May 5, 2023: Keep the usb dongle that comes with it. If you use remote desktop and run Teams remotely then the usb dongle that comes with it is the only way to have Teams recognize the microphone. I thought it was unnecessary and since I was using it exclusively with my phone it didn't matter. Now that I've switched back to using it with Windows the usb dongle is the only way running Teams remotely recognizes the microphone. Addendum: Yeah, I could run Teams locally but would have to allow remote control of my local machine. No thanks. I run a virtual machine which connects to a remote machine via VPN and runs Teams on that remote machine. The usb dongle is the only way to get Teams to recognize the microphone. END UPDATE This was the 3rd headset I tried since going remote full time. The first one, trusty old plantronics plt-50 was great but the battery life was too short. Same problem for pixel earbuds btw. The second one was a never-heard-of-brand Eumspo. Picked up too much, echo ruined remote meetings. Plus the around-the-ear band was too thick to use with glasses. This one? Perfect for my needs. Battery life lasts so long I've never gone below 80%. Easily lasts a week, probably more. No echo on calls. Works perfectly with Teams for mobile phones and desktop. The teams button actually works. If your use case is similar to mine - at most 1-3 hours of meetings a day - then save your time and get this thing.
