Cisco Headsets vs. Poly Studio Series

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.

Great devices if you need to hold small conferences. If there is a need to hold a conference for several dozen people, I would recommend using older models.

• 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.

• Connecting as an external USB device
• Component quality
• Convenience and ease of use

• 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.

• It is necessary to make a PoE interface on the video codec itself, for convenient connection of PoE tablet control (TC-8)
• Simplify the first launch of the device in terms of network (external DHCP required)

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.

I would give it a 10 but the ringing on the base after you answer makes it unbearable at times. You have to unplug the USB or turn off the Bluetooth to get it to stop.

There is always room for improvement. There are times switching between devices can be slow, but for the most part, it works fine.

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.

wish the firmware didn't take so long to install.

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.

Seems like you would be able to install headsets across and entire company, so it is very scalable.

• Clear audio quality has been a big positive with more employees engaging in meetings & conference calls.
• Unidirectional [microphones] are designed to hone in on the user's voice & simultaneously minimize background noise.
• Lightweight comfort is really ideal for long calls.

Incentivized

• The devices showed good performance; there are no complaints about reliability
• The devices allow you to save several thousand dollars a year on renting the necessary equipment
