Key Features

Lightweight 22 g Construction

The HW530D Headphone is light, weighing around 22 g, which allows for easy wear during extended calls. The lightweight design can also be helpful for workers who wear their headset for the majority of their workday.

The monaural design also ensures one ear is free to hear what is going on around them, so they can keep up with the conversation and activity going on around them while talking to customers.

Over-the-Ear Monaural Design

The headset does not cover both ears. The design is helpful to professionals that want to communicate with callers while keeping their attention to their surroundings. Ear cushion with audio optimization to offer a comfortable fit while working.

Noise-Cancelling Microphone

It is important to have a clear voice pickup if multiple employees are in the same space. The HW530D features a noise-canceling microphone that helps to minimize background noise and accentuate the speaker's voice.

It has a flexible boom that can be adjusted to ensure proper positioning of the microphone during calls, ensuring clear voice capture throughout the workday.

Wideband Audio

The headset features wideband audio up to 6,800 Hz, which offers a wider voice range for professional communication.

It's built with business calls in mind, and is ideal for customer conversations, technical support, sales calls and more voice applications.

SoundGuard Acoustic Protection

If you have to use a headset for a long time, listening protection is a key factor to consider. The SoundGuard technology assists in controlling sudden loud noises and offers acoustic protection for professional headset wearers. This makes the HW530D ideal for workers who are on calls for extended periods of time.

Quick Disconnect for Flexible Use

The HW530D features a 6 pin Quick Disconnect (QD) connection. This means that the headset can be detached from the cable or audio processor without taking it out of your ear.

This can be helpful for users at work, who can take a break from a workstation without taking the headset off entirely.

Durable Professional Build

The headset can be used on a regular basis in professional applications. It's made with metal joints and laser-welded parts that can withstand repeated use and daily adjustments. This is ideal for enterprises where headsets are used on a regular basis and not just occasionally.

How Does the HW530D Connect to a Computer?

The HW530D is not equipped with a standard USB connector that is a direct part of the headset. Rather it has a 6-pin Quick Disconnect connection.

The headset is compatible with the Poly DA90 USB audio processor for a computer-based setup.

The basic connection is:

HW530D → QD Connection → Poly DA90 → USB → Computer

This is different from a standard USB headset that can be plugged directly into a computer.

What Is the Poly DA90 Used For?

The Poly DA90 is a connection between a compatible Digital Series headset and a computer.

The HW530D is connected to the DA90 via its Quick Disconnect connection, and the DA90 is connected to the computer via its USB.

When you already have a compatible DA90, you might be able to use it in conjunction with the headset as part of your setup. If you have not already got one, you will want to know if it is required when you are ordering the package, so you can add it to your order.

What's Included in the Box?

The Poly EncorePro HW530D comes with:

• 1 × Poly EncorePro HW530D Headset

• The headset comes with its microphone and Quick Disconnect port.

Unless otherwise mentioned in the package description, the Poly DA90 USB audio processor is not included.

This means that the standard product is the HW530D headset. If it is intended for connection to a computer, ensure it is compatible with a computer via USB and/or choose packages that have the appropriate processor.

How to Set Up the Poly EncorePro HW530D

After you have the right connection gear, it's easy to configure the headset.

1. Use the Quick Disconnect connector to connect the HW530D with the compatible Poly DA90.

2. Use USB to connect DA90 to the computer.

3. If necessary, choose the headset as the audio device.

4. Open your calling application, and see if the microphone and speaker options are correct.

5. Test call to ensure all is in order.
