Poly Voyager 5200 Wireless Headset (Plantronics) - Single-Ear Bluetooth Headset w/Noise-Canceling Mic - Ergonomic Design - Voice Controls - Lightweight - Connect to Mobile/Tablet via Bluetooth

This is my second Plantronics Voyager 5200 headset. I have been using it with recent Iphones. The first 5200, i bought about 6 years ago and the battery is not holding a charge quite as long as it did when new. OK, batteries do wear out.So I decided to by another one, the same model, and keep the old one as a spare.The sound quality is excellent. I don't hear very well so this is important to me. No compatibility issues at all with Iphone 13Pro or Iphone 10.The new model specs show that the battery has a little bit longer life than the old one.Highly recommended.BobztEngineer

Charge it up, pair it to your phone, and you're done. The caller name is announced upon receiving a call, as it is matched to your contact name/number in your phone. TOTALLY hands free, when sending or receiving calls, texts, or emails. The battery life is excellent, and it charges in less than 30 minutes. Get this model and you'll never try another one, and just see how hands free your phone can become. Do anything with it completely hands free, while driving, working, or wherever you are.

If you must know, I am a farmer/agricultural business owner all my life. My father and son and I all three run tractors and other farm equipment daily. We absolutely need phone earpieces that stop as much noise as possible through the microphone during calls, otherwise the customers on the other end cannot hear a word we say over the equipment noise. That was the singular reason I bought this brand earpiece. When first purchased, only 2 months ago, the Poly Voyager 5200 (along with the Poly Voyager Free 60 earbuds) worked pretty good. Only I and my father were both disappointed in the terrible fit. Impossible to make it fit at all, compared to 3 other cheap brands we'd had previously which fit quite well. Then we soon discovered that not only would they simply not fit our ears, we absolutely could not hear the other person unless there was little ambient noise. Mostly because it would not fit, or stay, in the ear. If we held it tight in the ear with one hand, not too bad. But then what is the point of an earpiece if you have to use one of your machine operating hands to babysit the thing? Next, it seemed like nobody could hear or understand a word we said. Finally, Dad and I were on a call together and WOW!!! The sound of his voice over the mic was literally like he was trying to talk through a plasic bag with the mic 10 feet away. Some words were completely missing in between. Other words came through fine. But mostly it was just garbled and muffled and very distant sounding. And sometimes absolutely no sound came through at all. He said mine sounded the same sometimes, but mine was the Poly Voyager Free 60 earbuds (I will review those pieces of garbage separately). We downloaded the app, we did everything. I had even bought him the separate charging case. Yet from the get-go this thing was TOTAL GARBAGE. A tin can and string is more dependable, and sounds much better than this thing. I paid a hundred dollars for this junk. For 3 years I had been eyeing these things, since they are the "name" brand earpieces for noise cancelling mics. Supposed to be the industry leaders in that. But I never could afford to put out that much money for earpieces. But finally, I decided to splurge and go all out. What a fool I feel myself to be. Yes, this company took us for a ride and we paid for it! I have now gone back to the Delton earpieces I had before, and they are quite decent. 10 times easier to use. Fit just fine. Keep a charge while talking all day and listening to music for at least 3 to 4 DAYS, and charge with USB-C quick chargers. And they are more affordable. So what has happened with this Poly company? Either nobody out there that uses these things actually use them, or there are a lot of fools out there. My recommendation? Look elsewhere for your earpiece. These are garbage.

Mixed emotions! Number one I'm here d to say I bought this unit for the third time today. Also, before the 5200 I have owned at least 3 Legends as well. I am very rough on these units. I work in the field as and HVAC service tech. 75 percent of the time I am working in an extreme environment in one form or the other. I simply will use these little guys to their fullest potential. Today when I lost my current unit, rather than turn around and drive back to the last job site 15 mins each way which is conclusive of my lunch break, s if I ever take one.. I chose to reorder immediately! Was glad the price came down 20 bucks!. I did however wanna shed light on a few key points for this unit. After reading all the reviews this evening (an attempt at shutting down and falling asleep for a few hours), I realized that a lot of the reviews are true and consistent with my experience. I'm not gonna go on and on about how this unit is far less superior than the Legend, but case in point is it for sure has way less battery life. It never charges to 7 hours. 5 most of the time and 6 if I'm lucky. To be honest o have forgotten most of the attributes of the legend seeing I haven't used mine but once in the last 2 years.. it was refreshing though the couple times I did use the Legend.. blah blah.. battery life sucks on the 5200, but I got used to it!The noise cancelation feature is and has been consistently the best by far. In fact I find myself frustrated when I ask a coworker or client if they can hear the sound I'm hearing while I'm troubleshooting.. they say that they can not gear anything! I want them to hear the slamming of a bad compressor or the hammering of a bent fan blade, but they simply can't hear the background. So for me that's great in a way like when I'm in heavy traffic and other devices are squaking in my rig, i usually have the windows open to "air out" between jobs. It is also great when I'm in a noisey mechanical room. Etc etc.. good and bad all at the same time for me but the noise suppressing tech is amazing to say the least.From day one I have been merely disappointed with the FACT that the volume buttons do not work!! Several times I have almost wrecked while driving and trying to adjust the volume. In fact.. my Samsung galaxy s21 ultra 5g will not even allow me to turn up my speaker volume manually from the headset (docked on the dash) while the 5200 is on and in my ear.. i mash the volume up button on the phone and it goes a little up then goes all the way back down.. similar to a broken power window on a car or one slightly off track.. uppy downy.. uppy downy.. you get the idea!.. intey to mash thw volume buttons on the 5200 and nothing happens.. unless I press so hard that it actually stings my finger! I've grown used to this BS as well.. let me remind you folks that despite all this negatively, I dropped a C note this afternoon without hesitation so that maybe I could be hamdsfree again in 2 days. Maybe I should have went back to a new Legend but that darn charging situation is so inconvenient for me.. see I can rejuice the 52 in an hour while I'm on a call that does require telephone or one where I have no cell signal anyway.Now in the attic, or on a roof top.. or even in damp dingy crawl spaces I sweat pretty bad like anyone (almost) would.. very seldom is it a problem. I do not use the stock earpieces.. I get some others that fit me better on Amazon.. coolatas or some crap.. anyway the little red and clack soft ear pieces work best for me with the sweat. They are more slim than the factory ones and fit more snug into my ear canal. I do occasionally have to scrap out some wax 😅..I mighy add that it hardly ever falls off or becomes uncomfortable.. when it does.. I hang it up and give a charge..When I wanna take it off to speak to a client etc..I just throw it in my pocket with all my drill bits and screw drivers.. it takes the ride like a true champ.. incan remember the legends would break in my pocket then the sharp ass metal on the boom would stab me.. i use gorilla glue on those to fix that.. but the 52 has no issues there...Well folks there it is folks, pay day is on Friday and sh$! runs down hill! Any questions?Ps my review is 3.5 🌟

works Great! It fits comfortably, it is hands free, you can It tells who the caller is if they are in your contact list. You can say "answer" or "ignore" It has great battery life, and it is easy to connect to your phone or computer. It is the third one we have gotten my husband tends to run over his with the lawnmower. We have tried other brands and never liked them as well.
