Voice & Call Noise Isolation
- Poly Voyager Free 206.0/10
- Poly Voyager Free 60+8.6/10Leader
Poly Voyager Free 20
Each bud has three noise-cancelling microphones, which Poly aims at your mouth to separate your voice from typing and background chatter. Poly processing suppresses typing and background chatter well. Without a dongle, laptop calls use standard Bluetooth, which narrows the audio when the mic is active. The Voyager Free 60+ includes a USB adapter for steadier PC calls and certification.
Poly Voyager Free 60+
Each bud has three microphones that steer toward your mouth, with WindSmart processing for outdoor calls. Poly also lets you set sidetone to low, medium or high, so you can hear your own voice naturally. For call-heavy days, a boom headset such as the Poly Voyager Focus 2 places a mic closer to the mouth.
ANC & Transparency
- Poly Voyager Free 209.5/10
- Poly Voyager Free 60+9.5/10
Poly Voyager Free 20
Adaptive ANC adjusts its strength to the surroundings, and a transparency mode lets you hear colleagues without removing a bud. Poly keeps the controls simple, with a long press switching between the two modes. Cancellation is good in offices and on commutes, reducing air conditioning hum and distant chatter. It is not as strong as premium consumer buds such as the AirPods Pro 3, but enough to help with focus work.
Poly Voyager Free 60+
Hybrid adaptive ANC uses inner and outer microphones and adjusts for how well the buds fit. A transparency mode lets surrounding sound through when you need it. On a plane or bus the cancellation is respectable for business buds, cutting steady engine noise well. It is weaker against voices and sudden sounds, where Apple and Bose are ahead.
Battery & Case Charging
- Poly Voyager Free 209.6/10Leader
- Poly Voyager Free 60+8.9/10
Poly Voyager Free 20
Poly quotes up to 8 hours with ANC on and 12 hours off, with 28 and 42 hours total with the case. That is enough for a full workday of calls and music without a top-up. Few business earbuds last as long. The case charges by USB-C or on a Qi wireless pad, so a desk charger keeps it topped up without cables.
Poly Voyager Free 60+
Poly lists up to 5.5 hours of talk time per charge, or 16.5 hours with the case. With ANC on, music runs up to 8 hours, or 24 hours in total. A 15-minute charge gives about 1 hour 12 minutes of talk time, and standby lasts up to 30 days including the case.
Fit, Stability & Portability
- Poly Voyager Free 209.0/10Leader
- Poly Voyager Free 60+8.1/10
Poly Voyager Free 20
The buds are light and shaped for long wear, with several tip sizes and an IP56 rating for dust and water. Many users can wear them through a full workday without discomfort. The shape stays stable when you talk, which matters on long calls. The case is compact and charges wirelessly on a Qi pad, which suits desk setups that already have a wireless charger.
Poly Voyager Free 60+
Each bud weighs 5.8 g and measures about 16 x 26 x 38 mm, with a short stem. Poly includes S, M and L ear tips and a pressure-relief design. IP54 covers splashes and dust. That is enough for rain on the commute but less than the IP57 that Jabra and Apple offer.
Connectivity & UC Integration
- Poly Voyager Free 2010.0/10Leader
- Poly Voyager Free 60+9.9/10
Poly Voyager Free 20
Bluetooth 5.4 supports multipoint, keeping the buds connected to a phone and a laptop at the same time so you do not need to re-pair between devices. Switching between devices is automatic when a call arrives. Poly Lens app on mobile and desktop handles settings and updates. They are not certified for Teams or Zoom, and no USB dongle is included.
Poly Voyager Free 60+
The buds use Bluetooth 5.3 with multipoint to two devices and remember up to eight. The BT700 adapter extends range to about 30 m and supports Microsoft Swift Pair on Windows. The touchscreen case shows battery, mute state and volume, and lets you switch between the two active devices. Plug the included cable into a seatback socket, and the case streams that audio to the buds at up to about 3 m.
Sound & Audio Quality
- Poly Voyager Free 207.9/10
- Poly Voyager Free 60+8.6/10Leader
Poly Voyager Free 20
Each bud has a 10 mm speaker, and Poly tunes them for clear voice reproduction. Codec support covers SBC and AAC. For background music while working they are pleasant, but music lovers will prefer consumer-focused buds with richer tuning. The Poly Lens app offers EQ presets that add a little warmth for listening between meetings.
Poly Voyager Free 60+
Each bud has a 10 mm speaker, larger than most business earbuds use. Poly applies a dynamic EQ that switches between wideband voice, up to 7 kHz on PC calls, and a full 20 Hz to 20 kHz media mode. In media mode they have more bass punch than the Jabra Evolve2 Buds, and music sounds fuller.
