Plantronics Voyager Focus UC Stereo Bluetooth Headset

Used the headset all day for conference calls and listening to music and I'm more than happy with the headset. It's very comfortable to wear and the call quality is great (when using the dongle that comes with it). When you are using the Bluetooth connection of your laptop the call quality is not HD but still good enough. Listening to music is also a great experience if you are not an audiophile. The stand that comes with it is really handy: allows to charge the headset (if you are not using the cable that comes with it - a standard USB to micro USB one) and allows to place the headphone safely away when not in use. The only feature that I have to criticise is the ambient noise cancellation (ANC) which doesn't do much and feels like an EQ only (adding a bit more base, filter off low frequencies around the 50-100 Hz range and adding a bit more treble). But as the headphones are over-ear only, I didn't expect an Bose-like ANC.

Excellent, one can join Teams meetings and have great sound as well as the freedom to walk around. Being wireless stops you from being tied to your desk. the controls are fantastic, auto answers when you pick them up. One button to leave the call/meeting. One button to mute and unmute on the headset, no more looking for where your cursor is. volume control on the headset. It also connects to your phone and other appliances s you can be hands-free. The range is also really good

Work bought me one of these and I love it. So good, I wanted one for my home PC. But they are really expensive, when I saw some for less £100 but refurbed, I gambled. They turned up and looked fine, but they didn't work. Since I already have a set I know what they ought to do and they weren't doing it. Anyway downloaded the plantromics hub app. It wanted to update the firmware so I knew all was basically good. The firmware update for the dongle stopped at 44%, which didn't look good! However a restart and the Hub software said it was all good. Next I repaired the dongle (put the headset into pair mode and the dongle into pair mode), lots of falshing the boom Whitesnake "Here I go again" started hammering out, working and am happy. I suspect they got retured becasue the previous owner couldn't get them paired.

Purchased this headset for work. Lots of phone calls and webex sessions both on mobile and laptop. Also work in open plan office with a lot of back ground noise. Also like to listen to Pink Floyd when not on phone calls or webex conferences ! Like the quality look of the head set and stand. Like the quality sound, voice and music. Like the noise cancellation. Like the comfort and not having to worry about a wired connection. Pairing worked seamlessly and set up on webex Audio was easy as well. Took me a while to work out you cant listen to music being played on your phone whilst headset is connected to laptop. It would be good if there was a setting in the hub to say which device takes priority for audio streaming. Thus to listen to music I have to physically remove the usb donble (what ever its called). And I thought its only a matter of time before I end up loosing it. I thought a simple solution would be to modify the headset stand so that you could insert the dongle purely as a safe way of storing the dongle when you are not in use. Anyway back to some 'Wish you were here"

After 5 months, the bluetooth link has stopped working so the headset is useless. Seller's warranty is only for 30 days.

Bought these on Sunday night and they arrived Monday morning. Very happy with the delivery time. I was recommended these by a few business friends, as I do a lot of meetings either on Skype or on the Phone, and using my laptop mic or phone mic isn't as convenient. If your someone who has a lot of Skype calls or Phone calls, this is a MUST buy. The audio from the headset is actually very good, and the microphone is exceptional. I love how it's bluetooth and I can just walk around the room into different rooms without having to sit down next to my phone or laptop. The buttons on the side are helpful too. It took me a while to understand how to connect the bluetooth to my phone as the manual didn't really help at all. Overall, this is a must buy. Beautifully designed, exceptional audio quality and very very very convenient for you Skype/Phone callers!

Can pair with multiple devices at once, works well and is reliable. The only downside is you need the Bluetooth dongle to make it work well with a PC.

Comfortable. Long-lasting battery and great sound quality, these on-ear headphones sound good enough for music listening as well as calls. The best thing is the dual connection - to phone and a pc at once. Genius. Vital. I have a pair at home and in the office.

The headline should read: "Diehard Sennheiser fan prefers Plantronics product." I picked the Plantronics Voyager Focus over Sennheiser's competitive equivalents, and I do not regret it. The Voyager Focus delivers excellent Bluetooth connectivity and range, exceptionally clear incoming and outgoing audio quality, long-duration wearing comfort, and long battery life. They are compatible with all my Bluetooth-equipped computers, tablets, and phones, but I recommend using their included UC Bluetooth adapter with desktop and laptop PCs for best results. The on-ear pads are soft, the head suspension fits comfortably on my big head without tightness or looseness, and the adjustable mic boom is long enough for good audio pickup, but short enough to enable eating or drinking without interference. This audiophile snob is impressed with the stereo sound quality, and the ability of the microphone array to reject extraneous noise like background music and conversations, dogs barking, kids screaming, toilets flushing (!), etc. The Voyager Focus offers "middling" noise cancellation capabilities, so I would recommend looking elsewhere for something to use aboard a loud aircraft. The included charging stand is something I think all Bluetooth headsets or headphones should offer, because it offers an alternative non-USB method of charging the headset, and avoids the disaster of grabbing the plugged-in headset and breaking the USB connector like I have done several times with mobile phones and other devices. Lastly, the Plantronics software makes the headset highly configurable, and is updated frequently. Highly, highly recommended.

I'm on the phone pretty much everyday, working out of the home office or traveling which means a headset for calls is as mandatory as having a device for email. It would be a frustrating exercise to calculate how much money I've wasted on headsets over the years, both wired & wireless. The wired sets seem to have better sound quality (listening & speaking) but the cords always get jacked & the continuous untangling results in a short life. The Bluetooth sets die just as quick & I'd always replace them with a different model, hoping to find one that worked better but without much luck. To have a decent call w/ a Bluetooth, it seems you need to be in a soundproof room & sit perfectly still. Even if that was practical, what you hear & how you are heard is a roll of the dice & no mater which brand you pick or how much you spend, the calls are never as clear as a landline. FINALLY, I scored the Voyager Focus, hands down the best headset purchase I've made in years. Why? The sound is landline quality, I can hear everything clearly & those I'm speaking with hear me equally as well. It's loud when you need it to be & since the audio is in stereo, I have the volume turned lower than ever before. This is complimented by the noise cancellation which is really terrific, so much that I can be on a call with yelling kids in the background or a train can be passing by, & the background noise does not come across on the call. I tested this on a call in the city, walking downtown during rush hour & the call was as crystal clear as my office. The Focus also has terrific range, more than 5x that of any other Bluetooth meaning I can walk & talk around the office or home without needing to have my phone < 5 feet away. In addition to my mobile phone, it also connects to my PC, laptop, & iPad (easily connecting/switching between 2 devices at the same time). When if I'm listening to music & a call comes in, if I tap the headset to pick up, the music turns off & then turns back on when I hang up (a nice optional setting). Speaking of, the sound fidelity for music on this set is impressive on all ends. Since it has a great noise cancellation switch, I no longer bring the Bose headphones for the plane, using the Focus instead. Although it doesn't block out the background noise as much as the Bose does, it's close enough. It's a no-brainer since I can quickly switch over from music to pick up a call on my phone or make a Skype call on my iPad while sitting on the tarmac. I'm a hater when it comes to sitting next to someone blabbing away on their mobile. That said, when that call comes in & you need to take it, the Focus is the way to go. The audio is so clean, I can speak in a quiet voice (to be respectful to my neighbors) & those I'm speaking with on the call can't even tell. The Focus will also maintain a charge all day long (unlike my Note 5) & I've yet to have it choke for need of a charge. Admittedly, I still use my earbud headpiece (Plantronics Legend) when I'm out & about incognito. Although the Focus is lightweight & folds flat in a nice zippered bag for traveling, the over-the-head "call center look" is not so practical in between appointments. That said, for any important call where vocal & listening clarity is essential, I'll pull out the Focus & switch over. I write very few reviews but this headset is so impressive I can't recommend it more highly.

There's not much more to say, just read the tons of reviews in amazon and also youtube. I chose this among other models from Plantronics as well as Jabra, based on these reviews, and have to say I am super happy with this choice. Have been using this for about a month and here's my feedback. Plus points: - Works really well for teleconference, I use both Skype for business and Zoom - Mic and speakers are clear to me and my conference partners - Comfortable to wear for hours of teleconferences (although if not positioned or adjusted correctly, ears will hurt a bit) - Superb for music, balanced, good base and soundstage (comparing to my other headphones & earphones) - Mute button is very practical (had to install the application to get the button to integrate with Zoom, but now i can walk around and mute/unmute to talk, but mute does not work when mic boom is rotated vertical (need to test more, as I remembered it used to work with Skype) - all buttons and knobs are so practical, located well and easy to find Minus points: - Not much if you consider what its primary functions are but I am just nitpicking - As mentioned above, mic boom docking to vertical position does not auto-mute in zoom and vice-versa, but will try it out on Skype again, may be a Zoom setting thing or may be affected after I updated the firmware - ANC, I tried it out but not much improvement both on my side (speakers) and the other party (mic), so now i turned it off totally to improve battery life - With ANC on, sometimes there are slight cracking sounds emitted, during silence (nothing is playing, not in telecon), its quite annoying - Battery life is intermittent, a full charge can last a full week and sometimes 2 days, but I suspect it could be because of ANC, as I have been testing it out initially; ANC is turned it off now, so will monitor for battery life - Initially I paired to my Laptop and Samsung phone, after a telecon ended, the headset will automatically restart my music in the phone, which can be shocking if unexpected (as i play music at quite a loud volume) - have unpaired my phone as I don't really listen to music on my phone and take calls there (this point has also been mentioned in several reviews) Other than the points above, I was initially concerned over the many complaints of headset arm breaking, and always breaking at around the same area. One reviewer mentioned a good point, if left in the charging dock, and depending on the height adjustment, the whole weight of the headset is resting on one pivot point and causes stress on that area. For me, to prevent this, I only dock to charge when the headset tells me that i have less than 2 hours of talk time, and remove it immediately when fully charged. This also helps to extend the rechargeable battery's lifespan (I hope). Bottom line, I highly recommend this model if you're still looking for a reliable headset, monitor the price at Amazon as the price fluctuates from time to time and you may get a great deal, I did :-) !!

fantastic use them in my truck for phone calls and podcasts fit well great battery live sound amazing

Si estás haciendo home office y como yo tienes que estar en juntas hasta 8 horas al día vale la pena el precio. Son súper cómodos, yo uso lentes y luego me lastiman otros audífonos pero estos quedan bien. Se conectan súper fácil a la computadora, el micrófono se escucha muy bien y traen botón integrado para mutear y desmutear, perfecto para cuando estás en juntas.
