Plantronics 83543-01 Savi Office W730 Headset

I love being able to connect to my pc, mobile, and desk phone at work! The headset is very comfortable. It has several different earpieces for you to adjust with. I have great reception within 30-40ft. Keep in mind to leave your mobile next to the base unit as this is where the bluetooth connection is made. The unit has incredible clarity across all devices. It does pickup wind noise fairly easily so heavy breathers beware! I have no complaints!

I am an extremely busy executive and I don't have the time and frequently must use both hands when talking on the telephone to pick up the phone, interrupt my work, and answer the landline.The thing that separates headset from all other head handsets on the market is that not only can you answer your landline... you can via Bluetooth connect your to your cellular telephone and incorporate computer via USB into this one device. All these features are accessed on the button console of the Savi Headset base station. I have never had a problem with my battery dying... I use my phone all day long. I just put the headset back on the base station during lunch. Not that it needs this... I just want to be careful.So while I'm at work, I am able to answer my landline when it rings (and I do have about 10 telephone lines with a Samsung telephone at) and should my cellular telephone start ringing I don't have to remove the headset to answer it, as well as the fact that unit incorporates itself into my computer and can be used with voice recognition software...On this particular device, you will need to purchase a compatible handset lifter which I think I paid about $75 for.***UPDATE: I am always looking for the most cutting edge and most technological advanced electronic devices available on the market... money no object. That being said, I have not been able to find a headset that outperforms the Savi for my demanding day-to-day usage. I still own the headset and use it every day and there is none better to be found. I've had this headset for a very long time now and feel this product needs an update by someone who who has history of this product uses by saying this device and all that it does is used daily by me... No battery problems as electronic things that run on batteries tend to lose their original battery power working time... all of which is just to say that this Savi performs it just like it did when I bought it. As I said in my earlier review, it answers my telephone, my cellular telephone and I can use it for Dragon NaturallySpeaking voice recognition software for my computer without taking it off my head.Bottom line... If you are on the phone almost constantly every day and would like the added convenience of not having to take this headset off to use your cellular telephone and need to interact with your computer... The Savi is your answer, this is the product that will do it all.I feel that this headset system has made my day today activites in the office much more productive.Of all my reviews on Amazon, this product is the most significant product that I have used and I have given the Plantronics Savi the highest review and praise of any other product t that I have ever rated o0n Amazon.ADDITIONAL NOTE: There is another product available from Amazon.com that works beautifully with this headset. I have people coming in and out of my office and while I am wearing wearing a headset they can't always tell that I'm using my telephone. The PLANTRONICS SAVI HEADSET ONLINE INDICATOR is a small device placed on your desk that is completely compatible with the Savi Headset that flashes Blue when you're on your headset allowing others see that you are using your phone. The two Devices I feel work i harmony to get the most out of your telephone experience.

UPDATE: After 10 months of average use (about 2 hours a day) the battery in the device has degraded to the point that the headset will only hold a charge for about 20 minutes. After some online searching it turns out that the battery CAN NOT be replaced. The only apparent options is to buy a new headset, which costs on average around $170 (more than half the original devices costs). I obviously expected to get more than 10 months of use from a $250 product. The device works well, but I can't recommend this to anyone given its costs and the fact that its impossible to replace the battery.ORIGINAL POSTI use it several times every day and it does exactly what it says it does. Voice quality has been very good in all three modes. It does not work with my Nexus 7, but it has worked with everything else including my Nexus 5 without issue so I tend to think its an issue with my Nexus 7, not this device. The range is much better than I expected. I haven't exactly measured the max distance, but I would guess I have been able to use it 30 feet away from the base through walls before the signal disappeared. The battery life on the ear piece is at least over 2 hours.The only significant problem that I have is sometimes if I am moving a great deal (like walking down the stairs) the device will develop some kind of strange feed back or buzzing on my side and it becomes hard to hear the other person. This has never happened when I was sitting still. It doesn't happen often enough that I consider it a major issue, but you might want to think twice before buying this model if you are planning on using this for web presentations where you will be walking around alot.

This headset works very well. I have it connected to my computer via USB for soft phone use, my office phone for regular calls, and via bluetooth to my cell phone. It's nice to have a headset that versatile that can easily switch between sources. I can walk around my home and not lose the signal or have any problems with interference. The design of the ear piece is very comfortable and appropriate for hours of continuous use.

This Headset is way Larger and heavier than the plantronic 5200 series* which I recommend. This headset you have to watch when putting it on the charging base. You have to tap it several times until it hits the proper place watch for the lights to light up to show it is charging. It's Frustrating when you have a full day on phones and absolutely no headset due to lack of getting it to charge properly. It was compatible with our phones and does what I needed it to do. Call cuts out a bit here and there but I feel that is due more to our phone service than this headset.

I bought this unit about a month ago along with lifter. Use it mostly for office phone and dictation via Dragon. Works well for this, but very weak when it comes to Bluetooth connection with mobile phone... specifically, a very limited range and low-quality connection beyond a few feet. Also have some concerns about battery life. While it is very comfortable, I wouldn't buy this unit as a replacement for Bluetooth headset you regularly use with a mobile phone. Overall, I'm pleased with my purchase because my needs play to this units strength, but may have felt differently if I needed it to work with my mobile phone.
