I have one. USB dongle works nicely. While it pairs to up to 8 devices, it will only maintain pairing with 2 at a time. So if you have a laptop and 2 cell phones like I do, you will have to pick which 2 of the devices you want it to stay connected to. From the fit and reliability perspective, it's utter garbage. Original ear piece (any of the 3 supplied) don't fit, only buying aftermarket Chockalotta inserts made it work. Then, after 1 month and 1 week of use, it just stopped charging all of a sudden. Still charges via micro-USB port, so battery is fine, must be the charging port connector. Poly warranty is garbage: you will have to send them the failed unit at your cost, and they will send you a refurbished unit as a replacement. Will not buy it again and don't recommend anyone does it either.
Interesting, but the 5200 sounds better than the lavalier mic used with the camera. I think I will not regret my purchase of the 5200 (which has not yet been delivered) :-) So, in the end, thanks for your review.
@@Pendragon501 Ok, I have listened to this section in which he switches from the 5200 to the lavalier microphone several times now ruclips.net/video/mLQZnXmLcxI/видео.html . On my computer speakers the 5200 sounds better, compared to the lavalier microphone at the moment he turned his head sideways. When he turns his head towards the camera, the lavalier sounds better. Especially the S-sounds are clearly better with the lavalier. When I listen to the whole thing on headphones, I have to agree with you. The voice is very distorted. I own the 5200 and have to say I'm not too thrilled with it anymore: It feels like it keeps falling out of my ear (which it doesn't) and sometimes the sound is really not good.I am not shure if its a problem with skype, zoom, webex ... or with my bluetootconnection, or something else.I own the 5200 and have to say I'm not too thrilled with it anymore: It feels like it keeps falling out of my ear (which it doesn't) and sometimes the sound is really not good.I am not shure if its a problem with skype, zoom, webex ... or with my bluetootconnection, or something else. It also picks up a lot more room reverb than my Sennheiser MB Pro 1. If someone asked me today whether I would recommend the Sennheiser MB Pro 1 or the 5200, I would clearly lean towards the MB Pro 1 by now. The Sennheiser headset has less bass, but I think that contributes to better speech intelligibility for telephony or web conferencing. Have you found a headset you're happy with? I would be really interested. Here I compared the Plantronics 5200 UC quick an dirty with the Sennheiser MB Pro 1: ruclips.net/video/86JIQsBDR2w/видео.html Let me know what you think.
If you’re trying to find your Bluetooth headset with the find headset feature, you wouldn’t be worried about it hurting your ears because it’s not on your head, it’s lost!
good afternoon, i have a problem, i am brazilian and there is nothing about him here, my case when charging is blinking red endlessly, would you know what it would be, can you help me please?
Hello, great video! I just wanted to ask if it has a audio recording option with regard to voice recognition. I am looking for a good noise-cancelling wireless microphone, thanks!
Thank you for the review, I use a 15 bucks Jabra that have noise cancellation but my problem is my car makes a lot of wind noises and tires noise that when i am talking to someone on the other line they all say call us back when your out of the car, If the Voyager 5200 is good at canceling background noises i would definitely buy one, please let me know if it would help
I bought one of these things which cost over 80 Euro. During the first 4 - 6 months it failed, failure characteristics were: Loss of bluetooth connection, difficulty in reconnecting, tunnel voice. reverberation and voice loss during conversations. Still under warranty I sent it to The Nederland for repair. They replaced it with a reconditioned one..........YES a SECOND HAND ONE. This also failed within the first week with the same issues. Now, 5 days later they are asking what the failure characteristics were...........RIDICULOUS Perhaps they should mention in their warranty papers that if the device fails it will be replaced with a SECOND HAND ONE???
@@ReviewTechTV No, it wasn't an Amazon purchase. They just sent me a boxed brand new one, we'll see how this one lasts. I do thank you for your interest and input.
I'm sorry to have to say this now here in your channel. This has been on my mind for some time. The presentation of the software is of course also important, but a "microphone" review without demonstrating the microphone quality is unfortunately not satisfactory for me. I feel the software is important for a maximum of 30%. First and foremost, what matters to me is how well I understand the person I'm talking to, and most importantly, how good the sound quality of the microphone is. I had now already tried some headsets and it was often the case that I understood my interlocutor very well, but after some time I was told that they found my microphone quality rather exhausting. This is something that I definitely do not want in relation to my customers. So please, a demonstration of microphone quality is, in my view, absolutely mandatory. So now, I was trying to use my best english, as I can, an then, surprise, at 30:58 he is demonstrating the microphone quality ... sorry for this long comment, but I am happy now :-)
This one is not it. It's relatively quiet. Aftermarket chockalotta ear inserts make it work a bit better, but still you will be struggling to hear and people will struggle to hear you.
@@willwee161 I agree the Bluetooth headset has a version with and without the carrying box, that's why many of my viewers use the information provided in the video description.
I just bought this and... its the WORST headset ever. i used other formfactor headset from Plantronic and OMG.. the 3 ear tips does not stay in the ear.. head set keep dropping out of my ears.. WTF!!
Sorry to hear you are not happy with the product, ear tips worked fine for me, the quality setting can be changed in the app, depending on the setting battery life may be different.
This device is junk. I tried three in a row on 5 different phones and all are garbage when there is any noise around them. Horrible audio. Dropped calls. I can see why so many are being sold used in my area. The earpiece is painful after a few hours, doesn’t seal properly. You can get a mod kit with new ear piece but the headset won’t fit in the charger causing the lid to not close. Plantronics needs to go back to drawing board.
@@ReviewTechTV you can't read either... not to find out if they have clicked on a video for a completely different product. The reason I clicked on your video was because I just bought a 5200. I didn't find our until half way in that I was watching another headset video. Why the f would I check the description box to find out if you titled your thumbnail weong? It's pretty simple. Do you get it?

I assume you never had AirPods. lol
Hello, can this connect with laptop for teams calls without USB dongle?
is this the new packaging? It seems different than the original tho
How do I spot a refurbished Plantronics voyager 5200 UC? I learnt the refurbished version comes in a brown box. Please, help!
Great review! Thx. Have you tried and compared the 5200uc with the 6200uc? Just would like ur opinion. thanks!
Unfortunately not
Can you tell me there can I get it
Is it comfortable having such a thick portion behind your ear?
We've found it to be comfortable for most people. The headset is pretty light and has different sized ear gels to find a comfortable fit.
Does the charging case have power button or it automatically charge the headset when you put it inside? Thanks
Automatically charged when you put it on the dock or in the case
Excellent review, it was very helpful thanks you.
You're welcome!
good afternoon, i have a problem, i am brazilian and there is nothing about him here, my case when charging is blinking red endlessly, would you know what it would be, can you help me please?
he fact that it is not sold here in Brazil, as it is very expensive, so there is nothing about it here and I am in trouble, help me please
I'm in to the voice assistants, I use a lot Siri, google and Alexa, how's the experience with those?
This particular model has a dedicated Alexa button
Hi, can you review for your bluetooth headset?
Does this have a mute button ? Does it work with the PC software’s like Webex, MS Teams ?
Yes it has a mute button, more details on the poly webpage:

Review Tech TV thank you for the reply
Hi good day, what the purpose of installing the app and the software?
You can change settings of you Bluetooth headset by using the smartphone app.
@@ReviewTechTV does enhance the noise cancelling of the headset?
Hello, great video! I just wanted to ask if it has a audio recording option with regard to voice recognition. I am looking for a good noise-cancelling wireless microphone, thanks!
its great no wind noise at all
I am looking for the bluetooth which can "Pick and Drop" the WhatsApp calls.
Does it do that?
How dose the WhatsApp work? Bluetooth headset should be like making a call.

How much price this set
The price varies from country to country.
I need one that gets loud enough to hear it over the wind noise in my work truck.
Not sure, I mostly use it indoors.
This one is not it. It's relatively quiet. Aftermarket chockalotta ear inserts make it work a bit better, but still you will be struggling to hear and people will struggle to hear you.
I work outside a lot ,always talking to my wife and job related calls , they say no wind noise at all.the best I had so far
Excellent review thank you very much keep it doing great job 👍 sub from me 😊
Thanks for the sub!
Mine did not come with that Charging station...just a cord and car adapter...???
I think the company sells versions with and without the carrying box / charging dock!
@@ReviewTechTV nope, he bought the consumer range which is 5200 not 5200UC... it lack of USB and charging dock
