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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best thing I have ever used, highly recommended!

About myself: Sedentary office lifestyle for more than 6 years, daily calls for hours at work. I have already gone through a dozen different and wired headphones with a microphone and headsets and wireless headsets, even Air Pods including. I won’t speak directly for the entire market, but the fact that I am extremely satisfied with this headset is a fact. Yes, the thing is expensive and over time I admit that the battery is weakening. But I believe that those who can afford such a device and use it for hours on end every day - spending every couple of years on a new one is not so big (the carc itself is much cheaper, and there are craftsmen who have learned how to replace the battery if the case is not worn out ). Wired headsets are a thing of the past and do not allow you to move freely without taking your phone from the table. Air Pods connect very unstable, because when removed (even if not plugged into a case), they often actually go into sleep mode and wake up only when the sensors are activated when stuck in the ear (by the way, I don’t recommend the colored version, the sensors work worse! ). Voyager 1st generation, as well as many headsets from other manufacturers, either do not have a case or also go into sleep mode and do not always wake up quickly when making a call. I bought the Voyager with a case, but there is no way to have a headset while in quick access (there is no vertical stand, only if you put it inside the case) Wireless headsets with a headband on one ear are not bad only if they have a stand like jabra pro 920, but it’s still too bulky on the table and on the head and I personally don’t like such solutions. And I don’t recognize small plugs without boxing. they have to be carried in a pocket, and this is not very hygienic. With this model, there is a very presentable rubberized large box on the table, an always working headset is inserted into it (I don’t even turn it off during the working day), and with such use, the charge of the headset and the box is enough for 4-5 active working days. I recommend! And do not dare to think that it was paid for, I gave hard-earned 14 tons for the set!

Pros
  • - quality of materials; - wearing comfort; - complete set of UC version; - a box with a vertical stand and at the same time with charging; - connection quality; - reception range; - looks decent, "cheap" language does not turn around to say.
Cons
  • - price tag (took for 13990r) - UC version; - they didn’t put a foam ear cushion in the kit (Well, or before me, someone somehow pulled it out of a sealed package) - I had to take it from a Chinese repair kit that I bought for the last Voyager 1st generation, but they will fit from any old headset; - I read reviews here that the body is breaking. I have seen people wearing such headsets without a box stupidly in their pocket or in their purses, they are there all day long subjected to crazy pressure and wear and tear. Well, of course, such a baby won’t live even a year if you put it in your back pocket for a couple of hours and rub your in a minibus while sitting, etc. But this can happen too.
