This headset, formerly called Plantronics, features Hybrid Active Noise Canceling (ANC) and Poly's Acoustic Fence microphone technology to cancel noise on both sides of the conversation.

With integrated inline controls, call answering and termination, as well as volume adjustment, microphone mute and ANC level selection options are easily accessible without interrupting the workflow.

The UC USB headset comes in a USB-A and USB-C version, and can be easily plugged and played with Windows and Mac computers. It's certified to work with Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Chromebook, and other leading collaboration tools, making it an ideal choice for anyone with an office, contact center or home office.

Key Features

Advanced Hybrid Active Noise Canceling (ANC)

Stay focused wherever you work with Hybrid Active Noise Canceling (ANC). The earbuds have a headset that automatically adjusts to surrounding noise levels both inside and out of the earbuds to help keep noise out of listeners' ears. Choose between Off, Mid and High ANC, depending on your environment, from a busy office, a contact center or home workspace. This leads to a more relaxed and pleasant sound, enhancing concentration during calls, meetings and work.

Acoustic Fence Microphone Technology

The Acoustic Fence technology consists of multiple microphones and advanced digital signal processing that helps to reduce the volume of other nearby conversations and background noise. The microphone should focus on you and not pick up sounds around you, which will make your callers more able to hear you. Whether working with colleagues, family, or other distractions, it will not allow you to be interrupted and lost time, while still maintaining a professional tone on the call.

Premium Stereo Audio

Delve into full, full-bodied stereo audio with business and entertainment in mind.
