Poly, now a part of HP Inc, is rightly related to headsets and assembly room methods. With the newest addition to its Voyager vary, nevertheless, it’s damaged freed from its repute to create a pair of wi-fi in-ear earbuds that customers can pair concurrently with their laptop computer and cellphone. You want a USB adapter for the previous, Bluetooth for the latter.

The target market is evident: anybody who attends conferences on the go. Nevertheless, Poly evidently hopes to tempt companies to purchase them in addition to people, as IT groups can handle the buds by way of its Poly Lens software program.

The bottom mannequin is the Voyager Free 60 for £230 inc VAT, however that doesn’t embrace Teams certification or a USB adapter. Including each modifications the identify to the Voyager Free 60 UC and £50 to the value.

This provides an at-a-glance view of how a lot the buds and case are charged, however turns right into a mini management system while you’re on a name.

This additionally helps with microphone noise cancellation, blocking out each extraneous noise and wind. There’s lively noise cancellation on supply, too, however don’t get excited because it’s no match for the equal from Sony’s headphones.
