#Plantronics skype for business headset Bluetooth#

The Bluetooth adapter took only seconds to install, grab the headsetвЂ™s details, and change my Skype default device. To test speaking and listening quality, I used the Voyager 5200 with: To test this, I unplugged my case and left the headset on all day.Г‚ Its battery wasnвЂ™t quite dead, but I put it in the case and went home (without plugging the case in).Г‚ Came back in the morning, and sure enough, the headset was fully charged. The case also contains its own battery.Г‚ Plantronics states that you can charge the headset twice off the caseвЂ™s battery before it exhausts. The case is solid plastic with 2 charging connectors built in.Г‚ One connects when you lay the headset within the case.Г‚ The other stands the headset upright for quick retrieval (for those вЂњI wasnГўв‚¬в„ўt expecting a call quick grab the headset!вЂќ moments).Г‚ This upright cradle also has a magnetized base, so the headset seats itself. Plantronics likes to mention that the boom arm has 4 mics in it.Г‚ They wanted the 5200 to sound clear even if youвЂ™re walking.Г‚ The 4 mics help to eliminate wind feedback (that whistling sound you get when youвЂ™re talking in a breeze).Г‚ The mics do this job well. The Call Controls button is harder to find вЂ“ itвЂ™s on the very back edge of the boom arm.Г‚ ItвЂ™s colored black, the same as the boom arm.Г‚ (You can see it if you squint at Image #3 above!)Г‚ I actually didnГўв‚¬в„ўt know it was there until I found it by accident while holding the headset. You saw it in the second and third images, above. The Mute is easy to find вЂ“ itвЂ™s the red button on the boom arm. The boom also has 2 buttons: one for Mute and one for Call Controls. You get the click-click push against your finger (otherwise known as вЂњhaptic feedbackвЂќ) when you press one. On/Off and Volume buttons are raised and easy to use. Plantronics claims a 7-hour battery life. I thought this would weigh on my ear more, but the opposite was trueвЂ“it balanced the rest of the headset better. As I have a beard, this works great both for comfort and clarity. The boom arm curves outward, putting it away from the cheek. Left- and right-side usage is just a matter of turning the eartip. Everything you need fits in the palm of your hand.ДЄs you see in the photos, the headset has a rotating eartip and boom arm.
