Poly|Plantronics headset: innovation, durability, and high sound quality!

Why choose a Poly headset?

Did you know that Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, uttered his now-famous words into a Poly headset? Established almost 60 years ago, the American brand Poly has since become the global leader in professional headsets. The brand's headphones are internationally renowned for their innovation and durability.

Do you work in a call center? Do you work from home? Or are you a traveling salesperson? At Onedirect, you can browse all Poly headphones, which have been specifically designed to make your professional life easier, including wireless headsets, wired headsets, or headsets for PC/Mac. Our models can connect to a standard desk phone, a DECT cordless telephone, a mobile phone, or a PC.

Experience more comfort with Poly headsets

Opting for a telephone headset can offer many benefits in the workplace:

  • You will have your hands free when taking calls: it is not always easy to make notes or type at your computer when holding a telephone handset. With a headset, this problem is easily resolved as you no longer need to hold the handset to your ear, and your hands are free.

  • You will have better posture: Using a Poly headset with a microphone means that you will no longer be forced to place the handset between your shoulder and your ear during long phone calls. Holding a handset in this way results in the twisting of the spine, which can cause damage when you do it regularly, leading to blockages, neck stiffness, and tension. With a headset, you will be able to keep your back straight throughout the day, improving your posture.

  • You will enjoy the best possible sound quality: it is not always an easy task to make a call from a landline when working in a shared office, particularly if you cannot get any privacy. Are you tired of missing every other word of a conversation and having to ask your caller to repeat themselves? If so, why not opt for a headset? A headset will allow you to hear better and it will boost your concentration, even more so if it is a headset with two headphones! You can concentrate on your call in your little bubble, away from the noise and disruptions of a busy workspace.

  • You will be able to manage several devices at once: some Poly headphones are multi-point, which means that they can simultaneously connect to multiple terminals. For example, you can connect a wireless headset to both your smartphone and your computer via Bluetooth, and juggle calls from both devices with ease. Many headsets, known as UC headsets (Unified Communications) are also multi-connectors: they offer several connector options so that they can be connected to multiple different types of devices at the same time. They can be connected by a registered jack to your landline phone, to your PC via USB, or by a 3.5mm jack to your mobile, etc.

Which Poly headset should you choose? Should you go wired or wireless?

Choosing between wired or wireless headphones depends on the type of work you do and on your specific requirements:

What are wireless headsets' advantages?

  • Wireless headsets: a wireless headset is an ideal solution if you need to be able to move around your office while staying in communication with your customers. Wireless models have a maximum range of 180 meters, they allow you to make calls while moving around at home or work. 

Most models have long-lasting battery life when on standby and when in use, making them ideal for intensive use, such as in call centers. The Poly Voyager Focus 2 Teams - USB-A battery can last up to 19 hours of talk time, up to 40 hours in listening mode, and up to 30 days of standby time.

Thanks to remote commands on the Poly headset, you can even manage your calls when you are away from the office: you can answer and end calls, increase or decrease the volume and temporarily disable the microphone with the mute function.

What are wired headsets' advantages?

  • Wired headsets: conversely, the wired headset is better suited to professionals who stay at their workstations during calls. 

In the blink of an eye, they can be plugged into your communication device (landline, mobile, PC/Mac, or tablet) for instant usability. For this reason, it is also ideal for users who need a headset that is easy to install, such as people who travel or work from home regularly.

As it is powered through its cable, it does not need to be recharged, making it a highly practical tool that you can use wherever you are. Finally, the wired headset is also slightly less expensive to purchase in comparison with a wireless headset.

 

  • What headset is best for a quiet environment? 

If you are in a relatively quiet office, a mono headset - i.e. a headset with one headphone - will enable you to hear your customers clearly while being able to pay attention to your surroundings.

  • What headset is best for a noisy environment? 

On the other hand, if you work in a noisy open-plan office, we would advise you to choose a headset with two headphones, to be isolated from background noise, allowing you to concentrate. 

Most Poly headsets come with noise canceling. The noise-cancellation technology allows you to focus on your call rather than on the environment surrounding it. This would be especially useful if you work in a very noisy or crowded office or are easily disturbed and want more calm. 

 

 

Your hearing is protected with a constant sound level throughout the day to keep the sound level consistent and comfortable.

Moreover, if you are worried someone might disturb you while on a call, the busy light will light up to show others you are occupied.

  • Do Poly headsets have Bluetooth?

Poly Savi and Poly Voyager Focus are Bluetooth-connected headsets.

  • What can I connect my Poly headset with?

A fixed landline, a cordless DECT phone, a smartphone, or a PC/Mac? Poly headphones are not all equipped with the same connectors. Poly headsets provide maximum flexibility with either wireless Bluetooth for more freedom or a USB connection. 

For this reason, the device(s) you use every day may affect your choice. You also have the option of a multi-point headset, which can be connected to several of your devices at the same time. This way you could manage calls from your landline and your mobile phone using one single headset.

  • Do Poly headsets need to be charged? 

Only wireless Poly headsets require charging and the battery life will depend on your headset. If you work in a call center you will need long-lasting battery life. You can also purchase a headset with a charging stand.

  • Do Poly headsets automatically connect?

If you have already connected your device to the headset on Bluetooth it will automatically connect when the device is turned on.

  • Are Poly headsets sustainable?

Poly has an Environmental, Social & Corporate Governance policy on sustainability. Poly is committed to controlling its manufacturing and production channel activity as well as its impact on waste. In addition, Poly is constantly working on delivering more climate-friendly actions with lower-carbon product solutions and reducing global greenhouse gas operations.
