SANTA CRUZ, Calif.,
May 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --
Poly (NYSE: PLT) today announced the Voyager Focus
2, the latest addition in Poly's best-selling line of stereo
Bluetooth headsets. The Voyager Focus 2 is a smart, wireless
headset with amazing audio that's intuitive and easy to use,
combining Poly's next generation Acoustic Fence technology with
Advanced Digital Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) to help you
concentrate on what matters most.
"In this work-from-anywhere era where background noise comes at
you from all sides, we saw an opportunity to build the next closest
thing to a virtual sound wall by creating a literal 'focus zone'
with the new Voyager Focus 2 headset," said John Lamarque, vice president and general
manager of the voice collaboration & professional headset
business unit at Poly. "The Voyager Focus 2 is packed with three
levels of hybrid ANC so all you hear is your call, while on the far
end, all they hear is your voice because of our high-performance
microphones and Poly's Acoustic Fence technology. This headset is
the best of the best, with the all-day comfort you need to stay
focused."
Crazy Good Sound
Callers are guaranteed to hear you
clearly – not your surroundings – when you're using the Voyager
Focus 2 headset. Poly's pro-grade noise-cancelling microphone with
Acoustic Fence technology provides Poly's best noise reduction yet,
delivering crystal clear phone calls. Poly's Advanced Digital
Hybrid ANC comes with three settings: high, mid, and off so you can
set the right level for your surroundings. A convenient carrying
case is also included, so you always have a headset to use wherever
you go.
Pro-Grade Performance
While the Voyager Focus 2 is
smart, you'll never have to worry about not being heard. The
Dynamic Mute Alert feature lets you know if you're speaking while
on mute, and an online ear cup indicator flashes when you're on a
call for a visual cue to others that you're busy. Additional smart
sensors will help you answer calls and play or pause music, and the
smart microphone boom will automatically switch left and
right audio no matter which side the headset is worn. The headset
intuitively mutes the headset when the boom is in the up-right
position to make sure you are always in control of your call.
Longer Talk Time
Poly has supersized its most popular
Voyager Focus headset by not only extending the battery life in the
latest model, but by also providing the option to use it as a
corded device, with audio over USB mode. The battery alone will
offer longer talk time, with up to 19 hours
Works the Way You Do
The Voyager Focus 2 headset is
available in two different options to meet users' complete
connectivity needs. The Voyager Focus 2 UC headset connects to
mobile phones, and PC/Mac via Poly's new BT700 USB adapter that
ensures a more stable audio connection and extended range in an
ultra-compact form factor for when you need to step away from your
device while staying connected. It also has a convenient desktop
charging stand option to ensure one is always charged plus serves
for easy desktop storing. For those who need to connect to multiple
communication devices throughout the workday, the Voyager Focus 2
Office headset connects with desk phones, mobile phones, and
PC/Mac. The Office version continues to charge in the base when the
headset is not in use, so you are always ready to take a call. It
can also be used as a wired headset when plugged into the
computer's USB port.
Microsoft Teams Open Office Certification
The Voyager
Focus 2 headset has earned the Microsoft Teams Open Office premium
microphone specification with its noise-canceling microphone that's
enhanced with Poly's Acoustic Fence technology, ensuring nearby
conversations are always kept private. It is Microsoft
Teams-certified and comes with a dedicated Teams button for instant
access to the app. It's also compatible with Zoom right out of the
box to seamlessly support all your collaboration and communications
needs.
"As employees look for more flexibility in the way they work
with a greater need to focus and work from anywhere, the Voyager
Focus 2 aims to please." said Mohamed Alaa
Saayed, ICT Industry Director & Fellow - Connected Work,
Frost & Sullivan. "Poly's Acoustic Fence Technology and
Advanced Digital Hybrid ANC technologies are premium features that
improve not only the user's experience, but also the experience on
the far-end – providing an all-around amazing pro-grade, audio
experience."
Poly+ and Poly Lens Supported
