    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

    Reliability and Availability
    Cisco
    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.

    Performance
    Cisco
    There is always room for improvement. There are times switching between devices can be slow, but for the most part, it works fine.

    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.

    Scalability
    Cisco
    Seems like you would be able to install headsets across and entire company, so it is very scalable.

    Return on Investment
    Cisco
    • 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.
