HP Poly Voyager 4320 UC Headset

The Voyager 4300 series (4310/4320) are the entry level options in the Plantronics/Poly Bluetooth UC range. They have a comfortable wide, slightly padded headband, and soft large leatherette ear cushions to make them a pleasure a wear.

Importantly they have a long and flexible microphone. Its a plain fact that the closer a mic is to your lips, the better it picks up your voice. The 4300s also have Poly ‘Acoustic Fence’ technology which very effectively blocks other noises from the mic so your caller hears you and you only. Whilst there’s no ‘lift mic to mute’ function in this base model, the mute button is on the mic rather than the earcup, which makes it much easier to access in a sneeze emergency.

With a talk time of up to 24 hours and standby of 50 DAYS, you’re unlikely to get caught out but if you are, you can connect via the 1.5m USB cable to your computer to charge and use the headset at the same time, with the option of having Bluetooth to mobile turned on or off.

Line of sight range from the BT700 dongle is up to 50m. This will reduce with walls or electronic interference but it’s a great starting point. Remember; the Focus Office Base will give you up to 91m. Range from your portable device (mobile or tablet) will depend on the capabilities of your device.

Control your devices via the headset with Call answer/end, mute, volume and power on/off. The headset can remember up to 8 devices at a time and maintain concurrent connection to 2 (one of which will be the BT700 dongle or the Voyager Base.)

You’ll get voice alerts for remaining talk time, connection and mute status but for any voice control from you will need to use Siri, Cortana or other programs to control your mobile.
