We used them for communication for our meetings as many users dont have such equipment. We also use them for sound testing audio equipment as they're made of high quality. We got the wireless model which is convenient as we move around a lot. The long battery life is a bonus for us which means less charging.
  • Long battery life
  • Excellent sound quality
  • Great noise cancellation
  • Decrease response time
  • Longer battery life
  • Different shaped ear cups
The Cisco Headsets are best used for testing sound equipment ranging from small to large. And audio channels coming from many directions. They are perfect for when entering busy and noisy areas of the warehouse where sound is a distraction so the noise cancelling feature really does assist with our daily activities.

Our company uses Cisco Headsets when attending any meetings or making video calls from our desks. Without the Cisco Headsets the background noise in the office would be distracting to both sides of the meeting. Everyone in our office has been provided with a headset and is encouraged to use it.
  • Background noise removal
  • Long battery life
  • Comfortable
  • Plastic breaks off over time
I have had the Cisco Headset 730 for a couple of years now and it works very well. The battery lasts at least a couple of days of continuous use and advises its level when turned on just in case. I have used it via bluetooth and the included 3.5mm audio cable without issue.

We use Cisco IP Phones in our office and also use Cisco Headsets primarily for our front desk and other high volume call positions.
  • Durable
  • Good price point
  • Easy to use
  • Please make an in ear version similar to Plantronics cs540
Cisco Headsets are a very good option for over the ear headset as it has a lightweight and adjustable headband. It is very useful for high volume call center type setup as the user can be hands free and work while answering multiple calls.

I work at the helpdesk doing remote support so i use my Cisco headset about 7 hours a day. This headset allows me to service our users hands free, which is a huge convenience and makes my work possible. The headset is comfortable enough to wear long term and has very good audio quality. I enjoy using my Cisco Headsets.
  • Great sound quality
  • Comfortable to wear for extended periods
  • Integrates well with Cisco IP Phone features
  • An option for single earpiece
  • Slightly more sturdy build quality (more metal)
  • Padding is comfortable but wears over time
Providing remote assistance to ours customers while I need to use my computer to assist them, so I really need both my hands free. Cisco Headsets are crucial in allowing me to accomplish this workflow. I have tried other company’s headsets and they are missing key integration features like compatibility with the Cisco IP Phone.

Cisco headsets are used by a variety of our team members to answer calls on our main line Contact Center queue. The business case was to find headsets that were comfortable to wear, could be used in an open and tightly packed environment, and supported the ability to shadow.
  • Easy to shadow
  • Charge lasted a long time
  • Provided good mic noise cancelling
  • Better noise cancelling for the audio to the agent. The noise blocking and other white noise is not enough to clearly understanding some quiet callers.
  • Would like to have the ability for more wireless bands that support extreme density for open office call centers.
For agents headsets, I would Highly Recommend Cisco Headsets as they represent a high quality product that agents can take advantage of the features with. For personal headsets, Cisco's partnership with B&O was a great call. The quality that comes from these headsets are amazing, and the variety of headset types are nice. The bluetooth connections are the most frustrating part. The dongle that comes with it often has issues with my windows laptop and older bluetooth standard get very choppy with a high density environments.

Internal calls with colleagues, external calls with customers, and listening to training videos and demonstrations. We sit in a crowded office with quite a lot of people in, and these headsets seem to perform better than other brands for both the users and other people on the calls
  • Fit - I seem to have an odd shaped head
  • External noise reduction
  • Volume is good to block out busy office sounds
  • 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.
Since COVID we have downsized office, so now we have a smaller office with the same amount of people in it. So 10am Monday when everybody is on a call, it is very loud in the office and people complain that other headphones pick up too much background noise. The Cisco Headsets seem to pick up a lot less background noise... thank you and well done.

I'm working for virtual community engagement and mostly I have my Cisco Headsets on the entire day often stretching beyond hours too. The company I work for provided me with a Cisco Headsets, and initially, I was skeptical about the brand however I was proven wrong w.r.t my negative thoughts. The product is good, I used the 562 model and the noise cancellation is best something I really look up to while I use headsets first-handedly. Our customer service team also uses the same headsets and after hearing their experience too the mic is working perfectly, the audio is pretty clear and I believe that price point is also justified. It is directly affecting our business in positive way from product to communications to Customer service Cisco Headsets is covering us all. Also the new variants get stocked up in the inventory and customization plays a key role in the product's sustenance in our company. I believe that it is a symbiotic relationship, and till now, I don't think that the quality is compromised.
  • Noise-Cancellation
  • Comfort
  • Durability
  • Lightness
  • More work can be done to improve on audio- choppiness
  • Treble can be taken down
  • Sporty and gaming designs can be introduced for tech geeks
For day to day work and official virtual meetings/calls the headsets are best suited. They are compact, handy, lightweight with a dynamic mic and good control. However, I don't think that for intense audio recording and voice modulations I'll rely on the products because the market is so diversified and on branding part there are so many options available which directly affects Cisco's market. So, for busy jam packed with work office day if you need good comfortable experience Cisco Headsets come very handy.

I use Cisco Headsets for calling from my deskphone and Webex application. Having the wireless capability makes my job much easier. The docking station makes it very easy to charge my headset.
  • Background noise cancellation
  • Wireless capability
  • Sound clarity
  • Easier to identify mute button
  • One ear design
  • Over the ear design
  • Audio drops out during some calls
Well suited for business calling, calling via PC
Less appropriate for integration with cellphone

I use Cisco Headsets for our remote and office workers for Webex Calling/meetings, etc. The excellent noise cancelation is possibly the best feature. Even in very noisy environments, it produces excellent voice quality. The battery life is excellent. And if it’s empty, it charges very quickly. In a few minutes of charging, you get several hours of use.
  • Noise cancelation
  • Battery life
  • Build quality
  • The fit is not great for people with glasses. The clamp design hurt the ears.
  • It could be folded in a smaller size for traveling
  • It’s pricy
The Cisco Headsets excel in noisy evironments. It continually exceeds my expectations of what the headset is capable of regarding noise cancellation. This is specifically for the far end because the headsets we use are on-ear therefor the noise is not filtered out for the person using the headset. The on ear headsets are not great for people that wear glasses due to the clamp design.

For a long time Cisco Headsets were not good enough for our users having to go over 5h + of meetings using them and how comfortable they are. Also, the build quality was not the best, however with the new 900 lineup the quality of the products is much better than before along with more ease of use.
  • 900 hardware quality
  • Ease of use
  • 900 series rich with features competing with other Headset brands
  • Bulk update software when use in personal mode
  • Price is too high
The 980 where amazing for office and home office uses, but they are bulky for traveling being in the bag or even having them on the train, but with the 950 this is being fixed by having such a compact size. NC on the 980 is amazing, still haven't tried the 950 but I hope it's the same as the 980 if not, we shall bring it up to this level.

Cisco Headsets are used across the business in conjunction with Cisco webcams and desk units. Having the 980 series headset makes longer meetings and catch up a lot more comfortable. Being able to use these headsets means we can free up meeting rooms and quite spaces, giving users the ability to easily and quickly communicate with team members
  • the sound quality
  • the feel of the materials
  • long battery life
  • the 980 mic performance is lacking compared to other headsets
  • the cost
  • colour options
Being able to use the headsets anywhere is a bonus. being able to have them also connected to your mobile is great when taking calls with customers and being able to jump back into a Webex with them.

Where the 980 headset is not great is using in a noisy environment as the microphone picks up lots of background noise

Cisco Headsets 980s

We use Cisco Headsets all over the company and in the IT team we have been using the B&0 980s and have every other Cisco Headsets used in other points these 980s are by far the best however, it does highlight the flaws in the other headsets.

In my opinion, the USB wireless connection has sucked on every model of Bluetooth headsets we have had, including the 980. These headsets still do have issues in collecting the correct input on occasion but its its not a dealbreaker as it is most likely down to the Bluetooth standard and the device connected.

The major issue we have is needing a separate app to adjust the sound settings on the headset. Why can't this be integrated into the Webex app as an option?
  • Battery life is great
  • They can actually be worn all day
  • They do sound good (not $900 good but still good)
  • Connecting to multiple devices is great
  • Being able to adjust the sound profiles from places other than a phone app
  • Make it so the USB wireless dongle is reliable
  • The touch controls on the outside don't always seem to work reliably the ones on the back work just fine
They are great for use in the office. They can filter out that office humm. They are great for filtering out background noise.

The downside if they seem to lose all this utility when you have them over only 1 ear. This is a common occurrence as you want to sometimes be able to hear a co-worker sitting next to you. The audio passthrough designed for that application is a bit staticky and still blocks out enough notice that you find yourself talking really loud as you don't know the sound levels of your own voice.

We use them to take phone calls and do meetings. I use it to block out the sound of everyone else in the office. It's turning on the noise canceling and yeah, they're great.
  • 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.
  • Nothing. They're new. They've recently come out and they're amazing. I can't think of anything.
Well suited because when customers come into our office and we sell them Cisco, they can see that we also use the product. So it's really well suited. We had, I think, Polycom headsets, we don't sell Polycom, they're a competitor of Cisco. And when it's not well suited, haven't come across a situation that it's not suited yet.

We have a call center that is based in the country and all our agents use Cisco WebEx CC for the software part of things. And to make the calls we use Cisco headsets.
  • It's lightweight.
  • It seems durable
  • Calls are audible for both the customer and the agent.
  • We'd like a little bit of background noise filtering so the agents and the customers can hear the calls a bit better.
  • Some sort of acoustic shock protection so that loud noises don't end up in injuries for our staff.
  • Active noise cancellation.
It's perfectly suited for a call center where the staff is remote, as in you're not sitting right next to each other, but if you've got a closely packed office, the noises from each of the calls can bleed into each other. So yeah, it could be a bit of an issue if people are sitting right next to each other.

Cisco Headsets are used in different ways based on the specific end user. We have end users who connect the headsets directly to their computer, others who connect directly to their phone, and several who use the multi base for connection to their desk phone, computer, and mobile phone simultaneously. Cisco Headsets are managed through the Cisco Control Hub.
  • Noise cancellation
  • Management of devices through Control Hub
  • Compatibility with a wide range of devices
  • A single on-ear option is needed in the portfolio
  • Options for mobile workers (agile for mobile smart phone users)
  • More competitive pricing
  • Physical connection to a users computer
  • Where a Cisco phone system is being used
  • Where Microsoft Teams Phone system compatibility is also required
  • Where a customer is looking for ease of tracking and managing headset devices
  • Where a user needs to simultaneously connect to a desk phone, a smart phone, and a computer for calling

We use Cisco 300 series Headsets in our company mostly for client calls and meetings and technical support. It is the basic model, but that doesn't mean it lacks of required features. It is durable with great sound quality. Even when we are sitting close to each other, there is no problem in calls due to its noise reduction feature.
  • Easy to use, no special training or skills required
  • Build quality
  • Sound quality
  • It has a noise reduction feature, but should include noise cancellation in its basic model also
  • Earpads

Cisco 300 Headsets are built for any scenario. You can use it in the office or in home, for work, to watch movies or to hear music. The plug n play feature doesn't need any special software or support to use it. You get the headset, plug in the USB and start using it.

I have always been a fan of Cisco Headsets for its premium quality sound and noise reduction. Cisco 300 series headsets are great for online meetings, calls and trainings. The lightweight design provides comfort during prolonged usage hours. The buttons are easy to use, making it simple to control during work.
  • Premium sound quality: This is where Cisco never compromises.
  • Lightweight Designs: It helps wear the headset for longer hours. In a call center a person has to wear it for approximately 7 hours. Keeping a heavy headset on would be tiring and uncomfortable.
  • Compatibility: Cisco headsets are compatible with almost all platforms which broadens the use of it.
  • The Quality is awesome but the built quality could be little more sturdy.
  • If the headset cable can be braided, it will be more durable.
  • An extra pair of ear foam would be rewarding.
Cisco Headsets are well suited in office or home environments. It is good for virtual meetings, where the voice and sound quality should be good and clear. It is good for call centers where people make/answer a lot of calls. The light weight makes it easier to wear them for longer durations. It can also be used for online classes. I think Cisco Headsets are not suitable for places with extreme temperatures or wet places.

In my company, the teams are based in different geographies, and we work in a hybrid model so we often need to join meetings virtually. Cisco Headsets help us collaborate efficiently during team meetings by canceling any background noise. We use Cisco Headsets both while working from home and at work to avoid background noise from a lot of people sitting beside us.
  • Comfort
  • Durability
  • Mic
  • Noise cancelling
  • Quality of sound
  • Price
Cisco Headsets are best suited for those scenarios where multiple people need to work while sitting very closely (offices, call centers, etc.) and are best suited for high-quality sound and comfort to ears. They are a perfect solution if you are looking for durability as the build quality is very good. Cisco Headsets are a bit expensive so they are not suited if you have budget constraints and sometimes there is scope for improvement in noise cancellation.

We propose the Cisco Headsets to our clients as part of the collaboration solutions. As the headsets are tied to the user in the configuration, this allows for analytics and troubleshooting, something not possible with 3rd party devices. The pricing is good because there is a vast array of models and features in each. This allows us to propose anything from basic models to premium ones. The 980 model is amazing and I use this one myself. It has a pretty decent battery life. I think the best feature on it is that it is an over the ear model. For me, being on a headset most of the day, it is more comfortable and I feel less wear on my ears. Most of our customers prefer the basic 300 and 500 models.
  • Easy to connect, set up, and work
  • Integration with back end platform
  • Analytics through Control hub
We are seeing the use of headsets more and more, actually, we notice clients will not buy desk phones anymore and rather go with the headsets 905 of the time. Still have the need for a desk phone at common area stations or example, but most desk users go with headsets now.
Apart from desk users, we also see them most suited at reception, remote workers and contact center agents.

Interestingly, the upper management persona still prefers a desk phone, and if doing a call via soft client, it is without a headset.

I use it daily for all my communication needs. Webex, calls, music, etc. It allows me to talk and meet hands-free, which is important when I'm presenting and moving around the home/office.
  • Good sound
  • Clarity, voice
  • Noise cancellation
  • Bluetooth range
  • Connecting with laptop
  • App to manage
  • Headset gets hard to wear for long periods with glasses on, pushed against ear/glasses arm, and gets sore
Calls/meetings - very good, although can get disconnected when meetings end, and calls come in right after and/or jump from meeting to meeting.

Wearing all day is hard when you wear glasses. Bluetooth range isn't big, so you need to stay fairly close to the USB connector.

During Covid, we were at home and we needed something to get less distracted from the things that going on around us at home. That's when Cisco Headsets were distributed by the company, and they were life savers. Furthermore, after Covid, when we all got back to the office and were sitting next to each other, that's when the noise cancellation feature was instrumental.
  • Noise-cancellation
  • Connection
  • Volume Settings
  • Enlargement on the head section
  • Better Mic Quality
  • Sleek Design
I think even though this great product has noise cancellation technology that doesn't mean we can't turn our offices into call centers because sometimes they are, which is why it's important to note that meetings should happen in meeting rooms rather than common areas. Every company might not be willing to afford a headset that is equipped with a very high-tech noise-cancellation feature.

Basically I use this headset for my work and also meetings and teaching.It helps me to cancel the environment noise and focus on teaching and talking. The quality of microphone is good but it could be better. I am satisfied with the noise cancellation feature and also the quality of the headset.
  • Noise cancellation
  • sound quality
  • comfort on ear
  • microphone quality
  • earpads can be bigger
  • some work can be done to make it look fancier
It can be more stylish and fancy. Also the earpads can be bigger. If the earpads are bigger, the level of comfort will be increased. The microphone quality is good but it can be better. I am happy with the noise cancellation feature however it can be improved. the structure can be better overally.
