Quick review of the Plantronics Voyager 8200 UC Headset - SfB Certified.

I've been using this headset now for just over a month. For those that don't know me, I'm a Solution Consultant for GCI, specialising in Microsoft Skype for Business and GCI Cloud Contact Centre. I pretty much spend most of my day on Skype talking to my colleagues and customers. The Voyager 8200 like most of Plantronics range is Skype for Business certified.

I can say from the outset - this headset gets used a lot - If it's not on my head it's around my neck. I actually used the smaller UC Focus previously which I was very happy with, I just wanted something that would be a little more inconspicuous (No visable boom mic) when I'm travelling. I must admit I was a little worried that the headset would pickup background noise when making a call from a busy airport terminal, but surprisingly it doesn't.

I've not compared the headset to other brands, so my view is perhaps a little one sided, however I've been using Plantronics devices for over 10 years and they've never failed me, so I don't feel the need to try something else.

I must say I'm impressed most by the battery life (20 Hours Talk Time!), the noice cancelling and just the overall quality of the headset. Audio quality is very impressive, I also love that having music loud does not project onto other people who actually don't want to hear what I'm playing - unlike a lot of headsets which I've been close to on the tube etc.

I don't find it heavy or overbearing when using it, switching between devices is simplistic and having it connected to my phone and Mac at the same time is brilliant. For me the size is perfect and fits very well.

I highly recommend this device, it really ticks all boxes for me when it comes to work and play. More information can be found at: https://www.plantronics.com/gb/en/product/voyager-8200-uc
