Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In my organization, Cisco Headsets play a major role by allowing flexibility and mobility for my front desk co-workers, roles as receptionists, sales teams, NOC engineers, and warehouse staff are experiencing all the benefits using models such as Cisco Headsets 720 and 730. These models are capable of delivering high-quality audio while providing comfort and offering a long-lasting battery.

  • The cushion materials are good, but they could use some improviment.

The best voice quality for virtual meeting.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Cisco headsets are quite a game-changer in daily activities. We use this headset for internal team communication and for customer communication via virtual meetings. The old headsets we were using had poor sound quality and could not isolate background noise. With the Cisco headsets, we resolved all these problems by achieving very good voice quality, auto-background-noise cancellation, and an auto-mute feature.

Pros

  • Very good voice quality and noise cancellation.
  • Good battery.
  • Great integration with Cisco Webex.

Cons

  • It has limited customization for the sound settings from the app.
  • Does not come with dock charger.
  • Quite expensive.

Return on Investment

  • They are quite expensive.
  • They helped our company to adapt and move to a hybrid work environment without losing sound quality.
  • They can reduce the background noise.
