As usual with Plantronics devices and unlike their Jabra cousins, the USB connection on the device is purely for charging and firmware updates. As the DSP is involved the volume controls on the headphones themselves work, but you should, however, maximise the volume on the 3.5mm source to prevent it sounding muddy. Especially with the dual noise cancelling levels. The good news is the 3.5mm input is still passed through the DSP to allow for good noise cancelling so you can totally use these on a plane. Keep the Bluetooth Headset profile active to the BT600 and mobile calling or perhaps we will see a version in the near future with CITA/TRRS support. Even if they can't keep the A2DP connection going for music. I really do hope this is something that Plantronics can address in software. Forget plugging them into one of those 'silent presentations' and still getting mobile calls. #PLANTRONICS HUB NOT CONNECTING TO MY DEVICE PC#Many laptops and tablets support the CITA headphone standard used by mobile phones as a microphone input these days and disadvantage here is if you plug the headphones into your Mobile, you won’t get notifications from your PC and if you answer your call on your mobile, the microphones on the 8200 won’t be used. This isn't an issue until you realise that connecting a 3.5 mm lead the device deactivates Bluetooth ENTIRELY! Dropping its connection with your Mobile and the BT600 dongle connected to your PC! This is my major complaint with these headphones. But the 3.5mm connector is only a TRS style instead of TRRS. These were so close to being the one headset to rule them all. What’s this! Bluetooth and a 3.5mm jack? Can I have my cake and eat it too!?Īlmost. Using the included BT600 USB dongle, the latency is almost imperceptible with no quality issues to speak of. 5 to 1-second latency with input audio, but nothing you would notice in day to day operation. No compression artefacts or stuttering, I did notice about a. When paired with my Samsung S8 via Bluetooth, performance is great. These are now nice and very noticeable from across the room, if you're looking at the right hand side headphone. I think someone took on board my comments about the LED indicators for battery charge and ‘in use’ indicators on the focus as they have improved dramatically on the Voyager 8200. The button is perfectly placed for your thumb on the right can and can be activated quite simply whilst on a call, or for the Open Mic function. Gone are the days of everyone hearing you fumbling for the mute button on the mic boom. ![]() The Mute/Open Mic button is in a much better location when compared with the Focus. Hopefully, something that can be fixed in an upcoming firmware update. Having to repeatedly ‘jog’ the volume control to adjust the headphones distracts from the quality of the headphones as scratchy plastic on plastic sounds can be heard. I'd recommend enabling Volume Tones in Plantronics Hub to provide some audible feedback and help with this.Īdditionally, the volume controls only move one ‘step’ per movement of the control, with no automatic repeating. ![]() But there is very little feedback when moving the control. There is a bump on the left if you can locate your finger in the correct place, like the F and J home keys on your keyboard. Whilst all the switches and buttons are easy enough to find, the Volume control can be difficult to locate and use despite it being textured. #PLANTRONICS HUB NOT CONNECTING TO MY DEVICE DRIVER#Having used the Focus UC as my daily driver for so long, the control layout of these is very familiar. But not having any reference on this, I'm excluding that from the review. For those wondering, I also tried these with Windows Sonic for Headphones and they worked quite well with that. #PLANTRONICS HUB NOT CONNECTING TO MY DEVICE FULL#The full cans also help any 'noise bleed' when you're getting a bit excited with the volume as to not disturb coworkers. #PLANTRONICS HUB NOT CONNECTING TO MY DEVICE DRIVERS#Bass tones were perceivable down into the 20-hertz range and the drivers can generate enough pressure to play tricks with your head. Low-end frequencies are perfect with very little fall off to the lower end of the spectrum in comparison to the Focus without sounding over saturated and ‘boomy’, a common issue on cheaper can style headphones and something completely lacking on its nearest competitor the Jabra Evolve 80. I ran these through my usual tests of songs I used to tune stereos to and I'm very happy to report they sound incredible. So, the all-important part is what they sound like. #PLANTRONICS HUB NOT CONNECTING TO MY DEVICE SOFTWARE#NOTE: My review unit was one of only two in the country at the time and was obviously a development unit used by internal Plantronics staff as such I did experience some software bugs that I'd expect to be ironed out by release. ![]()
