Being able to type and/or write while on the phone or listening to your PC on the headset is great! Also, they make single ear or dual ear. Dual ear headsets are great for the places where it is a bit louder you can hear what is coming across the headset.

• Cancel the noise side of things. You can't hear anything in the background. I quite often talk really loud because I can't hear myself talking and it's comfortable. They are really comfortable. We've got the wireless ones and they just sit so comfortably on your head. Amazing.

• We are just starting to use the platform and using limited features at the moment and 8x8 is doing everything we need it to do.

• I am not sure why, but when I move my head sometimes it seems to pause whatever I am listening to. I cannot figure out why.
• Easy Visible battery life.
• My ears sometimes get really hot after using for over an hour straight.

Way easier to set up and manage. no fiddling with knobs, dials, and silly things like a physical receiver lifter that breaks easily. sound and call quality is great, no issues using day to day. only thing is that the price is a premium, but for us its worth it for the advantages that come with the ecosystem.

I have yet to find a use case where the 730 is not appropriate. The audio quality and active noise cancellation capabilities are excellent, and the portability puts it above many alternatives.

If you get less than 4 phones you fall into the online only customer service. There were a couple of times that I could have used more assistance but figuring it out online was a bit of a hassle.

Too expensive and too heavy and too uncomfortable. It just didn't deliver the experience that we thought we would get based on the price. I can get the same features, for cheaper, with a more comfortable headset from another vendor. So overall this one just never got put on the final list.

8x8 has a much lower cost that avaya for the same features. 8x8 is a bit more user friendly than some other larger well established brands. It still uses industry standards in terminology and call flows to for anyone with voip experience its a pain free switch to make over.

I usually use community apps and websites. I operate multiple channels and audio rooms and that's where Cisco Headsets helps me out w.r.t the hardware part. My audio-rooms have become more engaging and my webinars are clear when I pre-record them. Even when live, everything seems to work fine. Earlier I was using another vendor's headsets but I had problem with the mic however with Cisco Headsets, my modulation part is going on quite well and I think that I'll also give a positive review about the product in my IT teams internal survey.
