The Voyager 8200 is better on almost every test. The 8200 was ahead of its time. I used to have that head phone and am sad I got rid of it. Got the focus now and it is very good. Quite disappointing that Poly didn't go forward but went backward and just coloured it black. NOT good. Great video by the way!
- 8200 is the best choice among these headsets, but its noise cancelling is still inferior to some cheaper products on the market. - For me, the microphone quality is important for two reasons: the voice should sound natural and the background noise should be minimized. - Unfortunately, none of the headsets in this review meet these criteria, even though they are very expensive.
I just bought the 80 because the micro usb and the fit. The80 has better sound quality, USB C, and the fit is far superior. The mikes work great for me when I work from home
I’m disappointed with the performance of this headphone. For the price and the hype, it’s just not worth it. I honestly feel that the 8200 sounds better. I personally have the EPOS impact 1000 which blows it away. Hopefully, they will do some firmware updates to help with performance.
After 5 years of daily use of 8200UC in office, in car, at airport, etc, no it isn’t. Tryed Jabra 85 with boom, got more backround noise and worse sound quality and overall usability
In an open office it is important that the mic is sensitive and produces good audio quality so you can keep your voice down and still be heard in the meeting. Personally I think the audio from the mic was not very good. Is there a comparison between the Poly 80 and the Jabra Evolve2 85?
I have just got those after jabra evolve2 85. ANC does not deliver, mics even close that on youtubes eg mixers etc , UC dongle problems on my dell, bluetooth disconnects on phone, touchpad 2 fingers tap hard to learn, reconnection to phone after switched off not working. Music ok. Quiet office environment ok. Jabra evolve2 85 mic not so great as old once but rest much better than this poly.
Halv of my batteries no matter the age keep chargelevels for many many weeks and halv gets almost fully discharged after a week. Unfortunately my Poly, 1y.o. voyager belong to the second halv while Panasonic being much older to the first halv. No more polys for me!
I have a question about the decision criteria you use to include or review headsets on your channel. I love the channel and the format, but I have mostly stopped watching because I know and own a headset that has not been reviewed by the channel but has superior ANC. The fact that some headsets with leading capabilities are not reviewed by the channel and I don't understand what the inclusion rules are is somewhat discrediting the otherwise really useful information!
Thanks for your feedback and question. We stay in our lane of reviewing headsets mainly made for work as that's what we specialize in. Which headset are you referring to that we haven't reviewed?
@@HeadsetAdvisorOLEAP... I use it for all my work calls, all day. It has really great ANC and I would like to see it head to head to head in your tests...
Seems about the same. One that may give you more space is here headsetadvisor.com/products/orosound-tilde-pro-bluetooth-noisecancelling-headset?_pos=1&_psq=Tilde+pro&_ss=e&_v=1.0&variant=40450096857246
Not yet but should be available in the next 30 days or so. If your looking to place an order I'd recommend placing a pre-order on our website so you can get one of the first units headsetadvisor.com/products/poly-voyager-surround-80?_pos=1&_sid=7c0f4f0f3&_ss=r
The boomlessness might be a feature.... :) I don't trust a work headset without a boom though, like It's for people who don't care about what their customer and colleagues have to listen to... only their own comfort and looks. Who's judgemental and mean today? Haha. Guilty!
I hear you. I was going to buy one too. It is just not good. Hopefully they can fix it with firmware updates. I went with the EPOS Impact 1000. They are great and has the best noise-cancelling on the market IMO
