However, this can the result of packaging and are not directly comparable. Listening to my own TeamsFest session I noticed that the voice was different compared to some webinars where I used Jabra Elite 85h. I was very happy how Voyagers sounded from music to meetings. It is super-easy to see which is the Right and which is the Left cup when you are putting these on. There is also a zipper pouch that can be used to carry cables (Micro-USB & audio cable), instructions and the dongle. Pouch won’t protect them as well, but it also weights less and doesn’t that that much space. Voyager came with a pouch instead of a hard case (like Jabra). Voyagers are Skype for Business certified but in real use with Teams they work very well. Background noise was also well enough filtered out. Nobody was saying any complains about my voice when I was in Teams meetings using Voyagers. Use of dongle is recommended – and it was easy to switch between different headsets: take off one dongle, plug in another. Roaming range isn’t 30 meters but it covers some other rooms. When using Dongle the connection works very well and I can even work around at home a bit. As I stated earlier I didn’t have ANY hickups with these but I don’t have Voyagers connected to my mobile phone either. For Teams meetings these worked flawlessly. I used headset mainly for two purposes: Teams meetings and listening to music. And these do need more charging than other headsets. My phone and table are both USB-C devices and I would have to switch to different cable if I wanted to charge these. This is a yet another reason for my why this wouldn’t be my traveling set. However the light indicator then lost purpose (muted or not).

Luckily I was able to plug it into my Surface Dock USB and hide it behind screen. 20+ real time usage hours is what I am really happy with (with 15 min quick charge adding several hours of usage time).ĭuring normal working days this usage time means I have to remember to plug Voyager to charging at the end of the day. This alone is one reason why these won’t be my traveling headsets.įor comparison: Jabra Elite 85h lasts for me between 20 and 30 hours, I haven’t had a need to push it to the limits and record time. I didn’t expect this short real use time. It barely lasted to the end of TeamsFest and was warning me about running out of battery. Real usage battery time is roughly 12 hours with ANC on.While these are a really great headsets there are still “features” that are not into my liking. Headset didn’t get any sweat on cups and I no issues wearing them all day. I had them on for TeamsFest which meant I had them on around 12 hours with short breaks between sessions. When I take off headsets the Spotify pauses very quickly.Īnd finally – Voyagers are extremely comfortable to wear. Voyager has a super-quick sensors for determining if the headset is in use or not. Setting ANC level is easy, but using any of these headsets requires me always to take off headset and look what the controls are. I keep forgetting to either turn these headsets on or off.

I really like the way Jabra’s power on/off is when I twist the cups to sides compared to “old style” physical power slider.

Instead of lots of soft and small buttons it does have a physical power on/off and other buttons. The user interface of Voyager is again a new one for me. I don’t have this issue with Voyagers but on the other hand I don’t use it in a same scenario and make it easier for the headset to have only one connection. However, I have identified is that since I keep on switching between both devices Jabra eventually gets into a state where it & Teams needs a reboot. This made this headset actually more reliable out of these two – these haven’t failed me once so far while I have had some issues with Jabra Elite 85h. What I didn’t do with Voyager is a connection to my mobile phone.

#TURN OFF AUTOMUTE PLANTRONICS 8200 UC INSTALL#
You want to install the Plantronics Hub for Voyagers and Jabra Direct for Elites to keep your headset up to date and connected. In short if you work from home they both work. Of course there are a lot more of features on both headsets. Not included (get one from different Jabra headset or buy separately) They are similar in build and share the purpose.Ĥ (two dual-pairs used for ANC & calling ANC)Ĩ (6 used to calling noise cancellation, 4 used to ANC) Due to world situation (Corona-virus) I wasn’t traveling but working from home gave me good experience how Plantronics Voyager 8200 UC headset relates to Jabra Elite 85h. When I finally got my hands on to one set a month ago I decided to give it good testing time. Poly / Plantronics headsets had been missing from my personal hands-on experience but I had heard lots of good about them. I have written a few headset tests earlier:
