About this deal

Up to 50 m/164 ft (UC version) – increased range due to new BT700 USB adapter; up to 91 m/300 ft (Office version) greater noise reduction compared to Voyager Focus with Advanced Digital Hybrid ANC with three settings (Off/Low/High) Mobile professionals with extensive PC/Mac and mobile communications in noisy environments; featuring Active Noise Canceling and smart sensor technology Smart discrete microphone boom: wear on either side and maintain location of R/L stereo. Rotate boom up to mute and down to unmute

greater noise reduction compared to Voyager Focus with Acoustic Fence technology to Microsoft Teams Open Office Premium levelVoice commands are, by and large, dependent on your smartphone platform. On a recent Android phone, pressing the voice command button pulls up Google Now, which lets you dictate text messages, request directions or make calls. On an iPhone, it brings up Siri. Sound quality is surprisingly good for a headset that you initially think is all about conference calls. Music gets very loud without distortion, and there's noticeable but not overwhelming bass, like the muddy S450-XT —there's enough treble edge here to make for a balanced sound signature. Although you can get the Focus UC with a USB Bluetooth dongle to attach to non-Bluetooth-compatible PCs, the headset has no way to plug into our PBX landline system, or indeed into most PBX systems. That's going to keep most office workers on their Plantronics Encore or Savi headsets. Those other headsets don't work with PCs or phones, of course. There is no truly universal solution. Comparisons and Conclusions

Discrete noise canceling boom with Acoustic Fence technology to Microsoft Teams Open Office Premium microphone level Voyager Focus 2 UC connects to PC/Mac via new BT700 USB-A or USB-C adapter and a mobile phone via Bluetooth 5.1; Voyager Focus 2 with Voyager Office base (accessory, sold separately) connects to a desk phone (via telephone interface cable), computer (via USB-A cable) and mobile (via Bluetooth). SoundGuard DIGITAL: G616 support limits the level to 102 dBSPL; Time-weighted average prevents average daily noise exposure from exceeding 85dBA* SoundGuard DIGITAL: protects against sound levels above 118dBA; Anti-startle (during calls) detects and eliminates any large sudden increase in signal level; Time-Weighted Average prevents average daily noise exposure from exceeding 85dBA The Focus UC charges in a stylish USB-powered cradle that can plug into a PC, or into any random USB charger you have lying around. You can also plug a micro USB cable directly into the headset. Four blue lights on the side show the battery level while it's charging. I got 14 hours, 50 minutes of talk time on a charge, enough for even a challenging workday. That's without noise cancellation. Turning it on will likely drop battery life closer to 10 hours. The VXi BlueParrott S450-XT is the undisputed winner, at 31 hours, 29 minutes. Sound Quality and PerformanceB825: UC Standard version built for UC applications and softphones from Avaya, Cisco, Skype and more* B825-M: Certified for Skype for Business and Optimized for Microsoft® Lync® The headset supports standard Bluetooth hands-free and headset profiles, and can pair to two devices (for instance, a phone and a PC) at once. It has about 30 feet of range before quality begins to degrade, which is on par with most Bluetooth headsets.
