Audio matters in business. We listen to audio on our devices a lot today in the form of podcasts (learning & skill development), radio stations played through apps on smartphones, and other sound on our portable devices.
We also use audio a lot in video to communicate through services like Skype, Zoom, Oovoo, Google Hangouts and many others.
Oh, and we also use these smartphones to make phone calls!
Recently I had the chance to review the new, advanced-technology headset sent from Plantronics called the Voyager Focus UC. The UC stands for “Universal Communications” which means this is specifically designed to work with enterprise communication systems from companies like Microsoft, Cisco, Avaya, Huawei and others.
I’ve been testing Plantronics Voyager Focus UC headset for about a week. I used it to listen to audio from YouTube and was impressed with the quality. The sound level can be adjusted on the right side of the headset easily. As it is adjusted, you’ll see the volume adjust on your computer when they are connected via Bluetooth. A USB Bluetooth adapter comes with the unit.
I like listening to classical music on this Plantronics Voyager, so I brought up some of my favorites on YouTube. The quality of the sound was amazing.
