Bluetooth Headset For Polycom Vvx 501

I really like this headset, the fidelity is such that it is great both for phone conversations, as well as music playback.  Works both with my Polycom phones, connected direct to a softphone on my laptop, or disconnected and direct to my iPhone.  I find myself using this headset more than my earbuds, for playing music from my iPhone. Purchased this wired set, as I try to limit RF exposure.  My clients generally prefer the Plantronics Voyager Focus UC Headset B825, which is a reliable Bluetooth headset, but the sound quality is best for voice calls. I do recommend installing the Polycom computer application in order to adjust settings and provision firmware updates.

I use this Bluetooth headset for everyday use and workouts. Very comfortable and flexible to take everywhere with you.

Best bluetooth headset that I have had so far. I've gone through two sony headsets in the past few months and these are by far the best I've come across.

Bought the headset about a month ago, needed a replacement for my JBL Quantum 200's. Overall the product is top tier, the sound quality is crisp, clean, and (often times) very loud. Pros: - Long battery life (while wireless), in my experience it gets a solid 30-32 hours whilst connected to the included dongle, and right around 43 hours with Bluetooth only. The headset can be connected via Bluetooth AND the dongle at the same time. Note; I do have the RGB function disabled on my headset, which extends the battery life by a *ton*. - Good range on the wireless connection, both Bluetooth and dongle. - Capability to be wired with USB-C (console), or 3.5mm jack going into a headphone/mic splitter (PC) - Amazing mic quality *while connect via wires*. Honestly the mic's balance and quality is on par with some dedicated desk/boom mic's that I've had in the past. - Very comfy fit, I can easily wear them for 5-6 hours straight with no issues. Very little wiggle on my head, even when vigorously shaking or bobbing my head. - Active noise cancelling is so good that it's almost disorienting. Being able to hear most of the environment around you just vanish really is a harrowing and alien experience after never having used it before. The noise cancelling is togglable from a button on the left earphone. There is also a Talk through function, for when you need to hear everything around you or carry on a conversation. - Audio has next to zero delay whilst wireless. I've played quite a few CS:GO and Valorant games, relying almost entirely upon audio cues/footsteps. Not once did I notice any delay that ever affected gameplay. Con(s): - Uhm... Mic quality whilst wireless decreases substantially? Less of a con, more of a side effect to ANY wireless connection. Over all; If I could give this headset a 6/5 stars, I would. It really is one of the most versatile pieces of tech that I own.

The two things that I appreciate the most are, 1. 3xcellent sound quality and, 2. It's refreshing for my ears to be able to breathe while talking on a Bluetooth headset.

Love the reception and my surroundings keeps me very aware what's going on around me. Totally a upgrade from my other Bluetooth headset

Resistant and perfect to my 501

This is not my first but is the first I bought with the charging case. If you buy the headset and charging case separate you don’t get the Bluetooth dongle which is another $50. If you buy it as a package, you get the charger, headset and Bluetooth dongle for less than you would pay for it individually. A good deal and a great headset.

I owned an open ear headset about 10 years ago. I didn't have Bluetooth available in my car so I used them whenever I was driving. I could listen to the music in the car and still have my ears open to whatever was going on if I received a phone call. I used my first ones until they eventually wore out. It's great to be back with this open ear Bluetooth device. They're much lighter than the original one I had and they sound great.
