Review on Plantronics Voyager 5200 UC (Poly) Monaural Headset - Connect to PC/Mac, Teams, Zoom & More with Noise Canceling by Ka Sem ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I am amazed at how well made the product is, just magical!

Prior to this, "worn out" from Plantronics three headsets: Voyager Pro and two Legends. There are also three from Jabra. All this in about 15 years. Since I lead an active lifestyle: cycling, gym, running - headsets also wear out: they fall, are subject to mechanical stress, sweat, humidity, etc. At first I was a supporter of Jabra, but then their quality fell below nowhere, I switched to Plantronics. Voyager Pro simply broke several times, glued it, wrapped it with fiberglass with epoxy until the last, until it could not work at all. A strange thing happened with the first Plantronics Legend - the sound became gurgling, they began to hear me badly, it was checked on several phones, so I bought a second one of the same model, after the Jabra Storm, which I won’t even remember, it turned out to be such a shameful thing. The second headset, three years later, came to the same defect, I understood why on the network: microphones die, and even for those who use them exclusively in the office, without putting them to the test, like me. By the way, Legends, while they were working, were completely satisfied, in any noisy place they pulled out only my voice (the recorder records calls). In August 2022, Voyager 5200 was dragged from Ebay, since there was only trust and advertising, there were no objective reviews on the network. By the way, it cost 7,000, delivered from Taiwan, but the version is simple, without USB and connection to a computer, which I don’t really need, 2022 retailers promise it not earlier than in six months, and even then at the maximum speed, according to exorbitant price. To say that I am satisfied is too soft. The form factor of wearing behind the ear is much more convenient for me personally, the noise reduction already works differently, much better than previous models: I ride a bike on the road, around the car, buses, construction equipment, the wind is slightly - I listen to the voice recorder, and it has a clear sound, without strangers noise. To speak became quieter, to take or not? YES, I vote with both hands)))) Worth the money.

Pros
  • comfortable to wear, noise canceling, long battery life, ability to ate and change settings from your phone, convenient charging
Cons
  • not very critical
