Plantronics/Poly Savi 8210-M UC Wireless Headset

Plantronics/Poly Savi 8210-M UC Wireless Headset

Designed for use with computer only, the Poly Savi 8210-M UC is a mono (one-sided) DECT wireless headset which comes with a charge stand and a standard USB dongle to establish a cable free connection. This model is certified for use with MS Teams.

What does the -M signify? Certified for MS Teams. Err OK what does THAT actually mean? Excellent question!! It means there are a few Teams functions pre-programmed into the headset. Eg The ability to launch Teams on your desktop directly from the headset. Additionally, if you have technical issues and call Microsoft for support with the programme, they will troubleshoot a Teams Certified device like this as part of the problem. That is not to say they’ll offer overall tech support for the headset – Poly and Simply would do that. If you don’t use it with Teams you will find this headset identical to the non Teams version.

This is NOT a Bluetooth headset. It uses DECT 6.0 which gives you the best sound quality and range. You cannot connect this model to a mobile and it must always be used in conjunction with the USB dongle.

First up – this is a sensational looking headset – particularly when on the base unit, so if you’re in an image-conscious industry, this is a great choice for you.

This is an update on the Savi W410. The 2 eared version 8220 UC has active noise in the earcups to help counter background noise but as this 8210 only has one earcup, it doesn’t have this feature (not much point cancelling out background noise if only 1 ear is covered!!).

The 8200 UCs offer excellent talk time for even the most dedicated workaholic – up to 13 hours. Do bear in mind that this will diminish according to several factors eg distance from the base, level of sound quality selected etc. You can set the headset to automatically use less power when it’s close to the base unit. The standby time is estimated at a whopping 50 hours.

Range is a magnificent 180m, but please note that’s a line of sight range. As with all headsets, this is diminished by interference from other devices, walls, and other objects between your headset and its base unit. In a typical office, Plantronics/Poly estimate 55m as the average range.

You’ll want to download the Plantronics/Poly Hub software for this Savi to get the most out of it. Additionally, when used with Plantronics/Poly Manager Pro, your IT manager can control mass software updates, track usage of the headset and much more.

As with all modern wireless headsets, this Savi has a noise cancelling microphone so your caller doesn’t hear noisy colleagues. Whilst it’ s not advertised as ULTRA noise cancelling like the Sennheiser DW Pro and SDW series, the noise cancelling in the mic can be customers for ‘close conversation limiting’ to block our that loud conversation near you. Of course for YOUR protection Plantronics’ Soundguard Digital ensures protects against sound levels above 118dBA; has Australian standard G616 anti-startle (during calls) detects and eliminates any large sudden increase in signal level; Time-weighted average prevents average daily noise exposure from exceeding 85dBA* *Requires Plantronics/Poly Hub software to enable SoundGuard DIGITAL features.

As you’d expect, in addition to MS Teams and Skype for Business this headset is compatible & certified with all major softphone platforms such as Cisco, Mitel, Alcatel Lucent, Google Cloud, Avaya, Zoom, AWS and more.

 

NB The base unit will not ring when you get a PC call.  The base JUST charges the headset.
