In conclusion, I would recommend either the Jabra Engage 75 or the Poly Voyager Focus 2 Office. Both are great headsets for your call/contact center, if you need a headset for a loud environment, go with the Focus 2 Office. If your office isn’t too loud, go with the Engage 75. Either way they are both great choice.
