Cisco Headset 700 Series vs StarLeaf

Likelihood to Recommend

Cisco Headset 700 is well suited for professionals who do remote interaction with customers and clients on a daily basis. This device helps them provide top-notch sound quality, great noise cancellation, security and great compatibility with large set of devices. Superior noise cancellation and compatibility is important specially in an open workplace where many co-workers are speaking and the resulting noise causes lack of focus. Additionally, given its decent battery life and quick-charge feature, it can be used for over 20 hours which is a desirable.It is not very appropriate for professionals for whom, calling or remote interaction is not a very necessary part of the job. In such cases, if they use the Headset rarely and don't care too much about quality and security, there are other cheaper alternatives.

StarLeaf is good because it is allowing our Company and global teams to create and conduct meetings and video calls. However, the mic often has issues as well as connection problems. The mobile app is excellent for joining the video conf calls.

Pros

In crowded environments, very clean and clear communication can be provided for both the person using the headset and the other party with the noise-canceling mechanisms.
Smart Sensor Technology (Mute When You Remove Headphones) is a nice feature in my opinion.
More importantly, it has over 15 hours of talk time. Battery life is very good.

Support Rating

Cisco Headset 700 Series 7.3

Based on 2 answers

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.

Alternatives Considered

Key advantages for the Cisco Headset 700 series include simplicity of connections (no special adapter cables needed), long battery life, and general performance for the price point. Integration with the rest of Cisco's Webex eco-system (the Webex app, and Webex Control Hub) hold promise for future enhancements. Areas for improvement include feature management apps that do not depend on a smartphone, and replaceable earpads.

Microsoft Teams, when I used, was far better than StarLeaf, on video, sound, and feature connections.

The quality of the product means that the battery is healthy after 2 years.
