Voice & Mic Clarity
- Jabra Evolve2 30 SE7.8/10Leader
- Poly Blackwire 33207.1/10
Jabra Evolve2 30 SE
A two-mic boom combines an analog MEMS mic with an ECM, built for clear voice in moderately noisy spaces. However, positioned properly in an open office, I'd expect callers to find it clear. That beats every boom-less headphone here at a fraction of the price. The boom's mix of analog MEMS and ECM is tuned for speech, not music recording, and it stays out of the way when raised.
Poly Blackwire 3320
The noise-cancelling mic sits on a 135 mm boom that rotates 280°, with a 100 Hz to 10 kHz range. However, among open-plan desks, I'd expect your voice to come through clearly from the far end, excellent for the price. A 135 mm boom with 280° rotation means left- and right-ear wearers are both covered without a special SKU.
Comfort & Ergonomics
- Jabra Evolve2 30 SE9.7/10Leader
- Poly Blackwire 33209.3/10
Jabra Evolve2 30 SE
At 125 g, this is the lightest headset in our lineup, with leatherette cushions and a stainless steel band. It comes in stereo and mono, and mono suits agents who need to hear the room. Over a long shift, I'd expect on-ear pressure to show only after a long shift.
Poly Blackwire 3320
At 131 g with foam cushions, it's light. The on-ear stereo design is comfortable for shorter stretches. Expect the foam to feel warm after a long session. At 131 g it's one of the lightest stereo headsets we list, so all-day shifts are realistic if you accept on-ear pressure. Foam wears faster than leatherette; keep spare cushions in the IT closet for a fleet rollout.
