Plantronics/Poly Voyager 4300 Series Bluetooth Headset

In Brief

Great value entry level Bluetooth headset with performance that belies it’s lower pricepoint.Connects to PC/Mac via USB dongle and to mobile via Bluetooth. Add the Voyager Office Base to use it with desk phones. USBA/USBC variant dictates the charging cable without stand but all stands are USB-A

What We Love

+ Bluetooth freedom to multi-task when on / waiting for calls –  you can simply get more done in a day when you’re not tied to your computer!
+ Acoustic Fence microphone (which meets Microsoft’s exacting Open Office certification requirements) so your caller hears only you, not your noisy environment/colleagues/family
+ Wear micropone (and earcup for mono style) on either ear
+ Microphone mute button is on the microphone –  makes it easier to locate in a sneeze/cough emergency
+ Wide padded headband and soft leatherette ear cushion for all day comfort
+ Outta juice?  Plug into your laptop to charge and use at the same time
+ Add the Voyager Office Base and use this headset with a desk phone –  perfect for hybrid workers with a deskphone at the office and laptop at home
+ Adaptive Bluetooth means 4300 headsets are less prone to interference problems that other Bluetooth headsets when many are used in an office
+ Depending on variant,  will connect to USB desk phones –  please check with us for details

What We Don’t Love

– As a value headset, it lacks some of nifty features like  ‘lift headset or mic to mute’, drop mic to answer, busy light

The Blurb

The 4300 series are the entry level options in the Plantronics/Poly Bluetooth UC range. They have a comfortable wide, slightly padded headband, and soft large leatherette ear cushions to make them a pleasure a wear.

Importantly they have a long and flexible microphone. Its a plain fact that the closer a mic is to your lips, the better it picks up your voice. The 4300s also have Poly ‘Acoustic Fence’ technology which very effectively blocks other noises from the mic so your caller hears you and you only. Whilst there’s no ‘lift mic to mute’ function in this base model,  the mute button is on the mic rather than the earcup, which makes it much easier to access in a sneeze emergency. (Bless you!)

With a  talk time of up to 24 hours and standby of 50 DAYS, you’re unlikely to get caught out but if you are, you can connect via the 1.5m USB cable to your computer to charge and use the headset at the same time, with the option of having Bluetooth to mobile turned on or off.

Line of sight range from the BT700 dongle is up to 50m. This will reduce with walls or electronic interference but it’s a great starting point. Remember; the Focus Office Base will give you up to 91m. Range from your portable device (mobile or tablet) will depend on the capabilities of your device, but it’s portableafter all,  so that’s not such a big deal!

Control your devices via the headset with Call answer/end, mute, volume and power on/off and paiting.  The headset can remember up to 8 devices at a time and maintain concurrent connection to 2 (one of which will be the BT700 dongle or the Voyager Base.)

You’ll get voice alerts for remaining talk time, connection and mute status but for any voice control from you will need to use Siri, Cortana or other programmes to control your mobile.
