Product Information

Noise canceling microphone with Acoustic Fence technology puts you in a quiet office, even if you are not. 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. 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.

Two speakers rest on top of the ear whereas other comparable models have oversized ear cups that fully enclose the ears which typically will produce a bit better sound quality but you sacrifice comfort. Poly always designs their products very well, and they didn't miss the mark on this headset either. All Poly USB headsets and personal speakerphones are compatible with the most popular voice platforms – we just work. Poly solutions provide excellent audio quality for both you and those on the other end of the call – no matter your platform of choice.

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. Distracting noises lead to less productivity, frustrated customers, and increased stress levels for agents on the phone. Select language preferences, feature settings and keep your device up to date with the latest firmware.
