Poly (Plantronics) Blackwire 3220 Stereo Headset
Poly Blackwire 3220 is a stereo wired headset, and adds to day-to-day business calls. You can connect to your PC and it does not need to be paired, charged or even install a driver. It's on the low end of the business at Poly. That is two way call audio that is clear and a light comfortable fit, without spending money on features that a typical office desk will never utilize. Two speakers on the ears allow you to concentrate on the caller and not the room. HP part #8X228AA is the part number for this model. All units are brand new and have manufacturer's warranties.
Have a Clean Sound All Day
The main reason for people prefer this model is voice clarity. The PC wideband audio provides speech that has fuller and more authentic speech. The boom mic is a noise cancelling mic, with a frequency range between 100Hz and 10kHz, which will help to keep your voice clear and bring your office chatter into the background.
Switching is done via Dynamic EQ. Speech mode: activated by call and functions over the range 200 Hz – 6800 Hz and media/video mode is activated on media/video and functions over the range 20 Hz – 20000 Hz. The rest is made more sophisticated by improved digital signal processing, while SoundGuard offers protection against any sound that exceeds 118 dBA and protects you from an unanticipated high pitched hit on your ears.
Comfort Built for Desk Work
When something is on your head for 6 hours at a time, weight is important. This wired business headset is 92g without the cord and 118g with the cord, which is no pressure over the top of your head.
The soft foam cushions (thickness 28 mm) are inserted in the ears, and absorb the noise significantly in the room. The metal headband can be adjusted to a height of 70 mm and won't be impacted by shape over the months. The boom swings 270 degrees; hence, it is usable both when wearing the mic on the left or right.
2 Connecting Options in a Box
Newer laptops removed the full-size USB port, thus, Poly enclosed both sides. The USB-C version comes with a USB-C to USB-A adaptor, meaning one headset can work with a new laptop today, and an older desktop tomorrow. There's also even a special USB-A version for if you still have legacy machines throughout your office. Overall cable length (from plug to headset) is 1610mm (5.28ft). You can easily get to this with a tower under the desk.
Works with the Platforms Your Team Already Runs
The actual deal breaker is normally software compatibility. It is a softphone headset that is compatible with Avaya, Cisco, Microsoft and other UC applications. It is also a Microsoft Teams Certified device, further supported by Zoom certification and also Skype for Business certified. No drivers are needed for Windows and Mac.
The inline module also provides the ability to answer, ignore, and end or hold a call, redial, mute the mic and adjust volume without using your keyboard.
Easy to Implement with a Team
Poly Lens can be used by your admin on the desktop to configure the language, customize features and update firmware. Poly Lens Cloud can also be managed remotely, provides device inventory and usage reporting, and mute and volume sound alerts can be set on the cloud. It doesn't matter if you are deploying 1 or 300 units in the field, the procedures are the same!
The Poly Blackwire 3220 is the Ideal Product for Whom?
It's an entry-level business headset for everyday business calls. Ideal for call centres, support desks, reception counters, remote workers and training rooms, as well as for shared workstations.
It is also appropriate for anyone who is transitioning off of a desk phone to PC telephony, be it webinars, conference calls or daily softphone usage. It weighs 92g, is plug-and-play, and can be employed on a single desk of agents, or across an entire floor of agents.
