Cisco Headsets vs. Yealink Conference Phones

It's a great fit in various departments and all the options out there mean you can find an option for each case. You can use them either sitting down at a dedicated workstation (desktop or laptop/dock) and wired, or you can also use them wireless 'on the go' with computers and mobile devices.

Yealink Conference Phones are well-suited for small to large-sized businesses. It provides excellent call quality in an easy-to-use interface which makes it perfect for any type of office or conference room. It does require power-over-ethernet, so you will require either a network switch with PoE or a separate adapter that will provide power to the phone.

• 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.

• Audio clarity
• Noise reduction
• ease of use

• They need to have the standard base be able to connect PC and Phone not one or the other
• Figure out the bug that your headset keeps ringing from your PC or mobile even though you answered the phone
• Create an over the ear or behind the headband design
• Be able to record from the Desk Phone to the PC like Jabra

• Admin menu options could be easier to reach.
• Programming via the web interface requires some advanced knowledge.
• Rebooting the phone takes a little longer than previously used systems.

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.

I have only had to contact Yealink once in the entire time we have been using their phones. The issue was resolved quickly and did not impact our day-to-day business. Their website provides excellent support; user manuals are available, as well as firmware upgrades that you are able to download and install.

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

The battery on the Jabra was bad. Once the battery gets low, and you get a warning that it is getting low you have seconds to plug it in. And I mean seconds. And once the battery has gone, and plug it in, not only does it take ages to recharge, it also takes ages to get volume coming back through the headphones. Often missing vital parts of a meeting.

We tried out the poly com and the Avaya. neither of them had clarity at higher volumes. We have some employees with impairment. the avaya was way too expensive and the polycom was just garbage

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

• Durability and quality so less spending on replacing the product.
• Helped me understand speakers words clearly with no voice breaks thus making me more reliable and professional, directly increasing my productivity and impacting business in a positive light.
• Uniformity. Our organisation first pilot tested Cisco Headsets and soon we changed our other vendor because of its quality. So, now it's all Cisco.

Incentivized

• They were a big improvement over the polycoms
• they allow us to use different carriers than the polycoms
• The clarity has saved a lot of lost sales.
