Poly Voyager 5200 UC Bluetooth-Headset-System inkl. BT-600

Ok, basics. There are 2 versions of the 5200 available - the 5200 UC and the 5200. The UC version is supplied with a USB Bluetooth dongle, which can provide Bluetooth capability to to a Windows or Apple PC, in the event that they do not have it already (1 USB port is taken up by the dongle, if used). Both the 5200 and the 5200 UC support the basic features of answer/reject call, volume up/down, etc, but the addition of a dedicated button allows the headset to trigger Siri/Alexa, etc if so set up. The case doubles as a charger with blue LED charge indicators on one corner, when the headset is either in the case, or stood in the charging recess on a desk, however, as a few other commentators have said, the placement is quite critical and whilst the headset looks to be 'seated', it isn't, so is not charging (I solved this by connecting the micro-USB charging port to the pc, the pc then provides an audible confirmation of the connection, with the Plantronics hub software providing a visual one in the system tray (the icon changes)). The use of the Plantronics hub software (Windows/IOS and Mac) is strongly recommended, as there have been a number of firmware updates for the 5200, and the hub software is how it's installed. Comfort-wise, the unit is light to wear and supplied with differing size ear-buds, with replacements available if needed, and sonically works very well indeed with both mobile phone calls and Teams calls (using Windows pc or iPad), with very clear audio in all cases. No 13A UK charger is supplied, as the case uses a traditional micro-USB socket for charging.

Great Product which I'm still using till this day.

Clarity is good on the sound, but it does seem a bit loud. Perhaps how I have my computer set up, but I have to keep the volume at it's lowest setting. The audio / microphone seem to be good. I don't get complaints. The range is great. I love being free to move around when listening or talking. It has good connectivity even moving out of the room away from the computer. The fit is pretty good. Battery life says 6 hrs of talk time. It is close to that, but you are not going to get anything more. It charges quickly, but needs to be properly in the case to charge. If you are on calls all day long, this might not do it for you if you can't get a bit of downtime at lunch to charge up. It does connect to the computer quickly, so you can turn the power off between calls. Only real complaint that I have is with the charging case/stand. I've had other Plantronics items, so this shouldn't surprise me, but the charging connection does not work very well when the unit is stood up in the little stand pocket. That is really disappointing. I would love to be able to take it off and place it in the stand to charge, but when I do that often the connection isn't good and the unit doesn't charge. This means that you pick up a dead unit after you thought you have been charging it. It's easy enough to put it into the case after you learn the origami needed to get it in the right shape, but it would be a lot better to just pick it up and put it back in the stand.

.... but I'm ever so glad I did. Like many I'm fully working from home at the moment and the company issued Plantronics C510 was uncomfortable and physically tethered me to my desk - no sneaking away for a coffee when on mute. This headset has been a revelation - and has paid for itself in convenience already - enough range to cover nearly the entire house - perfect for going on mute to answer the door, or phone, or nip for that aforementioned coffee. Battery life hasn't been a problem at all, plug and play on my Windows 10 PC and works seamlessly with my company Windows 10 Virtual Machine via VMware Horizon client. Unlike wired headsets even if its switched off when I join a call it immediately picks up on the PC & VM as soon as I switch it on. No more faff. Works no drama on Avaya Red, Skype and Teams. (Not tried anything else but no reason to believe it wouldn't work) Really comfortable to wear and plenty loud. You can mute and hang up from the headset so perfect if you've snuck away from the desk on mute and someone asks you something! So with the prospect of working from home for the foreseeable, and routinely even further ahead, it felt like a no brainer to buy this and it totally was for me - recommended happily!

Amazing bluetooth headset, cannot fault it tbh. Charging on the go is great due to the case being able to charge the headset up. But the headset has great battery life anyhow, and a simple press of the button audible tells you hours left. Also the iphone displays the battery meter of the headset, and there is also 3 blue led's on the cradle that tell you rough battery life too. The cradle doubles up as a doc for headset and charges it too, great design. Sound quality is amazing too, even for listening to music whilst working. (People don't think you are either when wearing a headset too, rather than headphones!) The device connects instanly to mu macbook with USB dongle plugged in then connect to my Iphone 6s shortly after and I have no problem switching between the calls. I use Skype for business through my macbook without a glitch. All in all I cannot fault the device and love it. Hope this helps you decide in your purchase.

No change good

I've had numerous Bluetooth headset in my life, and my last one was a Plantronics as well (Marquee M165 I got as a X-mas gift). The M165 I had received about 2 yrs ago had lots of trouble to work correctly with my iPhone 5 (and later 6), dropping constantly the calls and having problems to pair again. I opened a support ticket with customer service and it took quite a while and hassle before they agreed to exchange the unit. The second one worked better, so I suspect it was related to a firmware issue.. Unfortunately I lost the 2ne unit a while after and I didn't replaced it, as from the wearing confort I felt it was not so good. My all-time best BT headset was a Jabra BT8010, which was a genius engineering piece as you could attach a second hearing piece. However it wasn't perfect as the hook was breaking on a regular basis and I had to buy quite a few replacements. In the end it also had firmware issues that were never really addressed by Jabra and then got discontinued. Recently I started to work more & more with online customers thru Skype and the like tools, so I had to find a good headset, and wearing the cable-bound ones wasn't very practical. My car also had hands-free built-in BT thru MS Sync, so I hadn't a need for another BT set. But with the above mentioned issue, I decided to shop around for another new BT headset. When a friend of mine talked about the Voyager from PLT, I looked up reviews and was quite disappointed by the first edition, as it was not using standard USB charging ports. Then I saw the 5200 UC, which was an improved version of the original one, and let me tell you that it is one of the best piece of technology in this area.. The concept of the carrying box with the built-in battery to recharge the headset is genius.. wish more manufacturers do that. The wearing confort is also excellent, though I'm little worried about the longevity of the flexible hook part, which I feel is not very strong.. but only time will tell if PLT used 1st grade material to build this. The sound quality seems excellent, as one person on the phone recently told me that even with the lot of background noise they had around them, my voice was clear and loud. I haven't tested it yet with a windy outdoor condition, but the multi-microphone concept is supposed to take care of this and the noise cancellation too. The buttons are well positioned and it doesn't take long to get used to it. The first days I wore it, I almost forget about it, as it is not feeling heavy or getting in the way... The behind the ear wear is very confortable and doesn't hurt after several hours, even as I have glasses. I love the auto-answering mode when you put the 5200 UC on it's holding socket in the box and when someone calls, you just pick it up and the call is answered. I also paired thru BT with my laptop, which works well, but on my Desktop PC I don't have Bluetooth, so the USB dongle is exactly what is needed in those cases. All in all this headset is becoming my next all-time runner up headset. Will post an update in a few months after I got a little more practical daily use.

Wish I had bought this years ago. I forget it’s on my ear and wear it all day. Ideal for Skype and Zoom meetings on my laptop. Mobile phone via Bluetooth is ok. Range nowhere near 10 meters when there are walls in the way.

Plantronics Voyager 5200 UC Wireless Bluetooth On Ear Headset with Mic (Black) is an amazing product

Works excellent. Very good quality. Sound is perfect. Works without USB transmitter and range is surprisingly very long. Charging in the transport box Works fine - so really happy with this device.

He probado varios de esta marca y este es el mejor que he tenido hasta ahora. Un producto de confianza. Suena bien hasta en condiciones desfavorables. Tanto la conexión a cierta distancia del móvil como el volumen de entrada y salida funcionan muy bien. Es muy útil para ahorrarse dolores de muñeca, hombros y espalda derivados de trabajar con el móvil en la mano. Muy resistente al uso y de buena calidad. Al estar imantado, es muy cómodo porque puedes engancharlo de un colgante y no perderlo mientras te desplazas. Lo uso a diario hasta 12 horas, tanto en movimiento como en casa y en la oficina. Este producto sale ganando en todas las comparativas con respecto a los demás en su rango de precio. Altamente recomendable.
