    The design is better at Cisco. So is the audio quality for listening. Centralized updating is also a plus.But my Jabra Evolve2 85 has a much better microphone and range.

    We went from using Jabra when Cisco came out with the Cisco Headsets. Much easier to manage as we were installing the Jabra software on every PC that had a headset and firmware was never getting updated. Now we don't have to worry about it as it keeps itself up-to-date.

    Hard to choose between the 2 brands when comparing the over-the-ear solution. As for in ear models, Cisco does not have a competing model available.

    Before the 900 series, the options for us were Plantronics UC series or sometime Jabra, however with the 980 Cisco Headsets we did switch to have all in one unified ecosystem as we do use Webex app, meetings and devices. With the 900 series they do stand out in the …

    We selected Cisco headsets because of our long-term existing partnership with Cisco, something we value. But that being said, there are competitor headsets that I've seen at the same price that offer far more functionality, which I guess could be improved in the Cisco headsets.

    Cisco Headset 700 Series has exceptional sound quality, the other headphones were good as well but of course price matters and nothing compared to Cisco Headset 700 Series.

    It is wireless and provides mobilization, long talk time is very good, and filters out external sound well, while in other headphones the ambient sound can go to the distant person we are talking to, 700 is very good in this regard.

    It's a great fit in various departments and all the options out there mean you can find an option for each case. You can use them either sitting down at a dedicated workstation (desktop or laptop/dock) and wired, or you can also use them wireless 'on the go' with computers and mobile devices.

    Pros
    Cisco
    • 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.

    Cons
    Cisco
    • They need to have the standard base be able to connect PC and Phone not one or the other
    • Figure out the bug that your headset keeps ringing from your PC or mobile even though you answered the phone
    • Create an over the ear or behind the headband design
    • Be able to record from the Desk Phone to the PC like Jabra

    Way easier to set up and manage. no fiddling with knobs, dials, and silly things like a physical receiver lifter that breaks easily. sound and call quality is great, no issues using day to day. only thing is that the price is a premium, but for us its worth it for the advantages that come with the ecosystem.

    I have yet to find a use case where the 730 is not appropriate. The audio quality and active noise cancellation capabilities are excellent, and the portability puts it above many alternatives.

    I would give it a 10 but the ringing on the base after you answer makes it unbearable at times. You have to unplug the USB or turn off the Bluetooth to get it to stop.

    Too expensive and too heavy and too uncomfortable. It just didn't deliver the experience that we thought we would get based on the price. I can get the same features, for cheaper, with a more comfortable headset from another vendor. So overall this one just never got put on the final list.

    The battery on the Jabra was bad. Once the battery gets low, and you get a warning that it is getting low you have seconds to plug it in. And I mean seconds. And once the battery has gone, and plug it in, not only does it take ages to recharge, it also takes ages to get volume coming back through the headphones. Often missing vital parts of a meeting.

    • Durability and quality so less spending on replacing the product.
    • Helped me understand speakers words clearly with no voice breaks thus making me more reliable and professional, directly increasing my productivity and impacting business in a positive light.
    • Uniformity. Our organisation first pilot tested Cisco Headsets and soon we changed our other vendor because of its quality. So, now it's all Cisco.
