Jeremy Shupick Network Administrator Chose Cisco Headsets We went from using Jabra when Cisco came out with the Cisco Headsets. Much easier to manage as we were installing the Jabra software on every PC that had a headset and firmware was never getting updated.

JT James Thompson BSM Chose Cisco Headsets The battery on the Jabra was bad. Once the battery gets low, and you get a warning that it is getting low you have seconds to plug it in.

MD Melroy D'Souza Systems Owner Chose Cisco Headsets We selected Cisco headsets because of our long-term existing partnership with Cisco, something we value.

User Testimonials
	Cisco Headsets	Neat Bar
Likelihood to Recommend	When I am connecting with my clients, it's a fantastic product that helps a lot in building a connection over the call. Business meetings with various partners and clients have now become easier. If I work from Home or a remote location, only fair internet connectivity is required. The clarity in Voices and Mic is commendable. However, there are scenarios where businesses are static and do not need to connect with numerous international buyers and sellers; in such cases, there would be no requirement to use this product. Incentivized Nayan Jyoti Business development manager Read full review	No answers on this topic
Pros	Cancel the noise side of things. You can't hear anything in the background. I quite often talk really loud because I can't hear myself talking and it's comfortable. They are really comfortable. We've got the wireless ones and they just sit so comfortably on your head. Amazing. Incentivized RG Rachael Gilliland Customer Service and Distribution Read full review	No answers on this topic
Cons	I am not sure why, but when I move my head sometimes it seems to pause whatever I am listening to. I cannot figure out why. Easy Visible battery life. My ears sometimes get really hot after using for over an hour straight. Incentivized JT James Thompson BSM Read full review	No answers on this topic
Likelihood to Renew	Way easier to set up and manage. no fiddling with knobs, dials, and silly things like a physical receiver lifter that breaks easily. sound and call quality is great, no issues using day to day. only thing is that the price is a premium, but for us its worth it for the advantages that come with the ecosystem. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Usability	I have yet to find a use case where the 730 is not appropriate. The audio quality and active noise cancellation capabilities are excellent, and the portability puts it above many alternatives. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Reliability and Availability	I would give it a 10 but the ringing on the base after you answer makes it unbearable at times. You have to unplug the USB or turn off the Bluetooth to get it to stop. Incentivized Jeremy Shupick Network Administrator Read full review	No answers on this topic
Performance	There is always room for improvement. There are times switching between devices can be slow, but for the most part, it works fine. Incentivized Jeremy Shupick Network Administrator Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	Too expensive and too heavy and too uncomfortable. It just didn't deliver the experience that we thought we would get based on the price. I can get the same features, for cheaper, with a more comfortable headset from another vendor. So overall this one just never got put on the final list. Incentivized Joshua Baever Sr. Systems Administrator Read full review	No answers on this topic
Implementation Rating	wish the firmware didn't take so long to install. Incentivized Jeremy Shupick Network Administrator Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	The fact you can manage the Cisco Headsets as devices in admin control hub is awesome. You can push firmware updates etc. Overall audio quality from Headset speakers and microphone are hands down better than other 3rd parties at this point. The price is a premium, but you get what you paid for, quality audio. Tim Roberts Systems Engineer Read full review	No answers on this topic
Scalability	Seems like you would be able to install headsets across and entire company, so it is very scalable. Incentivized Jeremy Shupick Network Administrator Read full review	No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	Durability and quality so less spending on replacing the product. Helped me understand speakers words clearly with no voice breaks thus making me more reliable and professional, directly increasing my productivity and impacting business in a positive light. Uniformity. Our organisation first pilot tested Cisco Headsets and soon we changed our other vendor because of its quality. So, now it's all Cisco.
