“Headset not showing in android mobile Hi, I am not able to see the headset (B825-M) as a bluetooth device in android mobile. It is working fine with Windows mobile. Am I missing anything?” JThomas, you seem to have purchased the version for microsoft, not sure why plantronics split it up between standard and microsoft, but my guess is the B825-M version will only work on Microsoft/Windows devices.

Taking calls in an office with background noise – especially loud server and HVAC fans. We had complaints from customers about loud background noise even though we had noise canceling microphone in a wired headset. the noise canceling mic in these headsets does a GREAT job – even when standing next to the loudest fan. completely eliminated the background noise! bluetooth range is excellent too. This is paired to a CISCO SPA 525G IP office phone. the lack of an instruction booklet is lame. It does use 2 usb connections. The one is just for power, so you can just plug that into an outlet usb if you don’t want to use up a USB slot on your computer. The 2nd one is if you are going to stream music and/or take calls on your computer.

Sound is really good. Exactly what you’d expect from Plantronics. I work in an open “modern workspace” and the noise canceling feature is important to me. On the downside be warned: This headset requires one of your usb ports for the transmitter and another port to charge the headset. The headset does not connect to your PC via bluetooth without the usb transmitter so don’t lose it! The warranty does not cover product loss. Only for this reason I wouldn’t recommend it as the perfect solution.

I bought this product about a week ago and I love it. The product is awesome. I gave it 4 stars b/c the fit on my ears is not awesome for prolonged periods. However, if your ears are not like mine (see below), that may not matter to you! Pros: I love how it integrates with Skype and shows me as DND when I take a cell phone call. I’m on the phone a lot and that is a big help. I love being able to freely roam my basement without the cell. The audio quality is very nice. I’m a moderate audiophile and love the deep bass and clear highs. Overall sound is quite pleasing. People state that I sound very clear and I’ve had no issues with it picking up my voice. I’m working from home and have very moderate ambient noise. Noise cancelling is nice as it significantly reduces hums from furnace, fans, dehumidifier and traffic. When I’m not on a call from my cell I’m listening to spotify and I love it the integration and how I can hear notifications on cell while hearing music. I wear glasses and the fit is good…I looked all over for this piece of information and I hope that is helpful to someone else… Cons: The fit on my ears is tough. Some would say I have large ears…so keep that in mind. My ears hurt after about an hour of wearing it and I wear it all day. So every hour or so I have to pull both sides of my ears for a moment and then put it back on. I’ve tried adjusting it up and down and it just doesn’t feel like a pillow all day. The Plantronics feel GREAT at first, but after a while it hurts. I’ve order the BackBeat Pro + to see if the feel is any different. I hope so, because I’ve not seen another product that has Bluetooth and USB integration. I’m hoping the “around the ear/over ear” design is more favorable.

I use this on occasion when I need some silence and really need to focus on the call, or occassionally just with my phone watch Netflix or listening to music. The headset is phenomenal, noise canceling is superb and it works better than any of my other headsets I have. I’ve used it in my open office environment with great success and can walk around a pretty good distance while maintaining connection, although I do get some looks because of the size of the headset. I even used this mowing my lawn and at a gun shoot to protect my ears and was well pleased with the results there. For the lawn I can keep the music at a normal volume as opposed to other headset where I have to crank them up to still only hear part of the music.

I love this headset for conference calls, because I don’t feel like I’m yelling at the people on the call like I did with a speaker phone. It’s very comfortable to wear and the sound quality is wonderful. I use it for listening to music as well as for calls. Also, the controls on the headset are intuitive and effective. I think the software still needs a bit of work, because I’ve had two occasions when Skype for Business under Windows 10 didn’t recognize the headset even after unplugging and plugging in the USB dongle. I had to reboot my computer to make it work again.

I bought this headset and when i connect it to any laptop. I hear echo of my voice. I tried to turn the volume down/up but no help. All the time I hear my voice back (ECHO).

Be aware that if you are specifically selecting the USB-C version of this headset, you will only get a USB-C bluetooth adapter. The included dock and charging cable will be USB-A based. I wished that was made more clear in the product description. If you own a MacBook, this will be a headache as you cannot charge or update the firmware without buying a new cord or adapter.

Previously I had a Voyager Legend that worked really well, however I wanted the same quality of microphone but with on the ear noise cancelling. I have not put the microphone through the paces for the Focus UC yet, however I have used it in relatively high noise environments. I have had no complaints about background noise being picked up by the microphone. The headset is also very comfortable. The headset is not without fault, however. The ANC is middling at best. I previously used a Nokia 900 series on-ear headset and found that the ANC was very, very good. The ANC on the Voyager Focus is just ok.

Plantronics team, Why does it not connect to three devices? Everytime I connect, it hooks to only my phone and one PC. Need help

I have a reputation for going through headsets pretty fast. As an entrepreneur who works from home and abroad I am tough on headsets. I have tried them all, and have to call it on the Voyager, it is by far the best headset I have ever purchased. The sound beats all other headsets I have owned. It’s durable, the smart sensors rock. I love how versatile it is, I can run my business, listen to trainings, meditate, I can do it all with this headset and the reception around the house is fantastic while getting things done around here. Highly recommend investing in a headset that invests back in you. I also purchased the Backbeat GO 2 Wireless earbuds for the car. They work amazing and I love the pouch with recharging batery pack. I am never without a headset now! Plantronics you are my HERO!!!!

The best headset I have ever brought. My dilemma was in ear does not work for me. Tried several other in-ear, on-ear, over-ever, I find the Focus is on point and meets all of my listening and communicating requirements.

I was fortunate to be a part of the beta testing for this headset. This is a headset that can do it all. I can spend 7 hours on the many conference calls I am on. My voice is clear and well heard, the mute function allows me to express my true thoughts without embarrassment, and it reminded me as soon as I tried to talk with it on — very nice. As a UC device this was top notch. The bluetooth dongle that came with it also was a plus as if you’re using a bluetooth keyboard, bluetooth mouse, you’ll find your bandwidth limited and you’ll find while listening to audio your mouse will be slow to move, or your keyboard non-responsive — every bluetooth headset does this btw. The dongle solves this issue, to your PC it’s just a USB audio device, and it uses it’s own bluetooth stack to talk to the headset. After doing 7hrs of being on the phone, this headset worked well for the commute home. My commute to and from the office is an hour and a half, bus ride, and the headset had plenty of power. The sound was excellent. Very well blended, and offered strong bass without muddling the highs. I also had enough juice left in the headset to watch movies off my tablet — again the sound quality was awesome. So the battery life after using it 10+ hrs, Bluetooth was simple and easy to pair. Controls were easy to navigate, and features like going on mute when you take the headset off, or while playing music you can push the mute button to allow outside sounds into your headset, or it figuring out how you put the headset on and maps the right and left ears accordingly. It’s also very comfortable to wear for long periods of time.

Disappointed as I was issued these for work. I know they are not inexpensive. Very uncomfortable after an hour or hour and a half as they make my ears numb. Have had recent neck pain and after paying attention to my usage of these and when my neck pain occurs have reluctantly stopped using. Neck pain gone. Sound is excellent, connectivity is unreliable and they will connect and disconnect with my laptop randomly. Disappointed is the most accurate description. Feel bad for my company as they give these out indicating that they are top quality and want us to have the best. Told my IT department my issues and learned I wasn’t the only one having concerns. Recent random discussion with coworkers and I am finding most of them don’t like these headsets and have purchased ear bud type set up on their own. One coworker gave his headset to his kid for use with his tablet and his kid said they were uncomfortable. Sorry Plantronics but you have missed the mark with these.

I was gifted this headset and it fits like a dream, very comfortable especially when on long calls. The noise canceling features are nice. I’ve had no issue with the mic everyone says they can hear me just fine. Music playback from cell phone or computer works well though can be a bit to bassy for my taste. I have however had some problems with the Bluetooth dongle switching from phone to PC it doesn’t always want to release the audio. I’ve also run into some Windows 10 issue when using Cortanta and the dongle getting stuck in “call mode” (blue light flashing) and wont stop until I unplug the dongle and plug it back in. This probably wont affect most people buying this product but, felt it was worth emntioning. As an avid gamer i was really looking forward to using this products while playing games and talking with friends on Skype or TeamSpeak. However doing so really effects audio quality trying to stream game sound and also use Skype turns off the A2DP sound stream and audio can lag and even repeat from the game. I’ve had to switch to playing game audio through my speakers which end up having me miss a lot of audio queues thanks to the great noise cancellation.
