Poly Voyager Surround 85 UC
A total of ten microphones—six for voice capture and four dedicated to adaptive ANC—ensures call clarity in noisy environments, while Bluetooth 5.3 provides a 98-foot wireless range and 24-hour battery life. The boomless design and SoundGuard acoustic protection, limiting output below 118 dBA, offer a discreet and safe all-day wearing experience. This headset is best for hybrid workers who need reliable, long-range connectivity for voice calls but do not require high-fidelity audio for music or studio tasks.
