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

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.

This is the best 'work from home but also be able to hear what is going on around you' headset I have ever found. Clear audio, great noise canceling features for the people you are talking to (I host WebEx and Google Meetings and they can't hear my background TV, Doorbell Ring, or kids in the background playing/fighting). Batt last 6 hours on full charge over time that seems to go down to 4-5. The only down side is they last about a year or so, max, and that is if you do not lose it, break it, or wash it first. I have had 5 of of them, and about once a year I buy a new one, but worth every penny - especially if you find it on sale. Features I like: I wear it on my left ear, very easy to reverse Activate mute with a touch Activate Siri with voice or touch Fits any ear size, as it comes with easy to swap ear pieces Downside: Doesn't cancel outside noise for you - not great if you want to tune out your surroundings.

Let me start by saying that: This Bluetooth is great, but compared to the previous model, (the famous Voyager Legend, which is half the price here on Amazon, see photos for side by side comparison) it's hard to recommend at this price point. Some thoughts - The previous model is slightly more comfortable. - Yet OTOH this has micro USB charging (unlike the previous model that needed a special charger, which nobody wants to have). - The Bluetooth range isn't as advertised. (It's not 98 ft.) Sorry Plantronics, the description is misleading on this. (See below for more details). Again; Don't get me wrong, this is a solid performer. And kudos to Plantronics for making the best Bluetooth on the market today! (it's now early 2017). Sound quality, is good, actually great, but again, as is the previous model. Which is half the price? [its also worth to mention that this isn't designed for listening Music, it's for making calls only)] - So bottom line, for the price ($119) it's simply not worth it, as it isn't a significant improvement over the last model. Unless your pocket won't feel any difference, and you really need micro USB charging, and you are not worried about the slight decrease in comfort. (Update: I am now used to it. NO issue with comforts. It was just my feeling when I switched to the newer model, but it's not something you will feel every day. I don't have glasses in case you are wondering). Also, the foam ear tips are not included in this package. (But you can buy them here on Amazon for about 5 bucks). The noise cancellation and windsmart tech are awesome. It's slightly better than the previous model because they added another mic. But again, the legend is already good enough, and frankly, I don't see a big difference. YMMV. So my personal advice, Just skip it and buy the Voyager Legend, which continues to be the best in class. Pros +Great sound quality +Noice canceling tech (the best out there!) +Good battery life +Micro USB charging Cons - expensive Official response from plantronics: Regarding the operating range, the Voyager 5200 is a Class 1 Bluetooth device, but to get the full benefit of the extended range, your phone needs to also be a Class 1 Bluetooth device. If your phone isn’t a Class 1 Bluetooth device, then your maximum range will be closer to the standard 10m/33ft Bluetooth range. - Hope the 10 minutes I spent writing this review is now helping you make your buying decision. 😊

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.-
