Voyager 5200

RE: Plantronics Voyager 5200...February 17, 2018 Superior device, very, very comfortable and when fully charged it has 7 hours and 15 minutes of available time (plug into the Plantronics Hub Application to see this). When fully charged and placed in your ear it will indicate "high" level of time remaining. After the first hour is used, it then will indicate time remaining just like the original Legend does. I tested this time against real time and found it to be accurate. I listened to music nearly 8 hours. I turned it off for several minutes at a time so that I could compare the sound quality to my original Legend. My conclusion: By far the new 5200 has a fuller, richer sound over the original Legend, with a very comfortable dynamic frequency range (without enabling HD voice in the Plantronics Hub). The volume level available is as high as the original Legend, so I don't know why others complain about the shorter battery life, lower volume level and inept music sound quality. However, to be honest, while driving my very quiet big rig down the highway I have found that the inherent droning of road noise and engine noise of my rig is like white noise in that it tends to 'wash out' or 'cover over' my streamed music I am listening to, hence, I must increase the volume more. So, although the sound quality of the original Voyager Legend is not as 'rich' (to include phone calls) as this 5200, I prefer to use the original Legend while in my rig because of its' less rich sound and its' ability to overcome road noise etc., i.e. the frequency equalization in the original Legend emphasizes more of the mid to high frequencies and has more separation across the entire frequency range. NOTE TO PLANTRONICS: Perhaps incorporate into your Plantronics Hub Application several different predefined equalized settings to download to the 5200 or, better still, allow for user defined equalization frequency curves to be downloaded onto the 5200. On the other hand, if you are in a nice, quiet car or perhaps work in and office and want a very pleasing 'Bose' like sound then this 5200 would probably be a better choice. As I mentioned, I have both units - this 5200 and the original Legend - and have found that overall I am most happy keeping the 5200 at home in my office or in my shop and also use it outside doing yard work etc. As you can see,I am primarily commenting on the music quality and voice quality I hear at my end in this review - not what is or is not transmitted over the phone. Many other users have spoken highly of this 5200 units ability to eliminate noise so the person you are talking to can hear only you speaking and not background noises. In this regard I will only say that they are spot on - I can hardly add anything new to the many positive comments on this issue except to say that the transmitted voice quality is slightly better than the original Legend. With four microphones in the 5200 compared to the three in the Legend it does make a slight difference and improvement. But realize, the original Legend is already a superior voice transmitting device and does an excellent job of eliminating and not transmitting noises. It has and continues to be a 'Flagship' device for Plantronics and current customer reviews will support this statement. Most would argue that there is a slight improvement in the 5200 overall but the price difference for the 5200 being nearly two times the cost of the Legend (here on Amazon) prohibits purchasing the 5200. My argument for the 5200 stems from my desire for richer music sounds so I am willing to pay the extra cost. Which would I buy again? Acutally, the answer is both. It would depend on where I am using it - in my rig or at home around the house.

I have been working with a lightning adaptor into a Sony headset for some time when working in the office at my computer. I'm in IT support so being hands free is essential. The annoyances were: 1) the headset was inline in the cable so didn't always face the right way. 2) The lightning adapter and the headset cable were a bit weak so broke one lightning cable already and I suspect I now had a loose connection in the headset cable 3) Walking around was a nightmare, the cable would snap on the height adjuster on my desk when I stood up, I'd get up forgetting it was on and drag my phone off the desk etc. I did a bit of research and this headset tended to get very good reviews so I bit the bullet. A) Its comfortable - It often feels a little loose and out of position but actually it never falls off and I can always hear clearly - I just need to get used to the fit and the fact it doesn't insert in the ear canal which is good as they tend to irritate after a while. B) The audio quality so far is perfect - It does have a slightly different sound to the phone itself but its sharp and clear and I never had problems hearing and people say I sound clear. C) The software on my iphone is great- I can check for firmware updates, change the language (for voice prompts etc) and select whether I want music to play through the earpiece or not so it has some good controls. D) The siri button is good - I can stop/start audio with a push, answer and disconnect or hold it to dial via Siri. I have only used it for half a day so far but its been great. I just put it on my ear and turn it on and I can walk around and carry on with my day and not have to rush and find my phone and then my headset and plug it all in. I'd constantly say to people "Just a second while I plug in my headset" and hear them continuing to jabber on. Its light, comfortable and doesn't irritate my ears at all and normal earbuds drive me crazy in a very short time. So really the only caveat is I haven't had it long enough to see how good the battery life is but its filling exactly the need I purchased it for. Time will tell as far as reliability goes. I've given 5 stars on everything as it reports 5 hours of talk time and so far I've spoken for about 24 minutes on the charge it shipped with and the remaining time is reported as I would expect. Even on my worst days I think I'd struggle to talk for more than 2 hours total. Ok - Been using it for quite a few days now so to update: 1 - Its VERY fast to connect. Power it on and its connected to my Iphone 12 Mini in a second and ready to use with no delay for Audio. My car stereo takes about 5 seconds to boot and connect and then once connected its another few seconds before the audio starts. 2 - I needed to play with the settings a little - Sometimes I'm with someone and a call comes in, normally I just hit the volume down button on my phone so it carries on ringing rather than actively rejecting the call - When I did this the other day the headset carried on talking in my ear and I ended up answering the call anyway - I realised it says "Answer or Ignore" and if I hit the headset button it answers or I can say answer - If I say ignore it rejects the call. You can turn that feature off in the app on the phone that controls the headset so I have to hit the button to answer so it won't interpret me carrying on talking as a request to answer. This is another good feature of this headset - The app gives good control of options and firmware updates. Some headsets are a nightmare or even impossible to update the firmware, this one is a breeze.

Excellent device. Good quality. No problems with connection and sound. I buy it for the second time in five years. I am satisfied.

Great product. I read a lot of reviews before selecting this product. I needed something that is easy to use, cuts out background noise from traffic when walking but also kids at home. Using on its own or also with the Krisp program (unaffiliated software) cuts out literally all background noise. Talk time is at least 6 hours on a single charge (takes about 30mins to charge)

Haft två stycken tidigare och alltid fått laddare med magnet med, men nu endast en kort usb kabel. Och de gamla laddarna passar så klart inte då denna är lite bredare. (genomtänkt 😊) Men utöver det så är det helt galet bra.💕

احببت المنتج صوت المكالمة رائع للطرفين ولكن يعاب عليها ان خامة الكاوتش المصنوعة منها تتشقق وتنقطع بعد فترة و استغرب إصرار أمازون في التعامل مع مندوبين غير مهذبين بالمرة المندوب كان يريد مني أن اقابلة اول الشارع لانة معاة كذا أوردر وعندما رفضت قال لي بطريقة غير مهذبة سأسحل أنة لم يتم التوصل إليك وأستجاب فقط عندما أخبرتة أن المكالمة مسجة وسأرفع شكوي

Ha sido muy satisfactorio usar este dispositivo, empareja muy rápido con 2 sistemas, en mi caso lo hago con mi laptop y mi celular. Se escucha muy bien si haces llamadas telefónicas, buen filtro para evitar ruidos externos. Si decides escuchar música en spotify se oye bien, no con graves profundos, pero aceptables y eso considerando que es monoaural.- Lo recomiendo para el uso al que se enfoca: "llamadas telefónicas" funciona INCREÏBLE.-
