Microsoft Teams headset certification is table stakes at this point — dozens of models across Jabra and Poly carry it. The real decision is corded vs. wireless, and how much you want to spend within each. Here's the current lineup our team recommends, from budget corded to premium tri-connectivity wireless.
Quick answer
For Microsoft Teams, the Jabra Evolve2 30 and Poly Blackwire 3310 are the best budget corded picks; the Jabra Evolve2 40 and Poly Blackwire 8225 (with ANC) lead the mid-range. For wireless, the Poly Voyager 4320 and Jabra Evolve2 65/75 cover computer-and-mobile use, while the Poly Savi 8400 series and Jabra Engage 65 SE are the current picks for desk phone plus computer. All are Microsoft Teams certified.

Corded USB: budget picks
Best budget mono
Jabra Evolve2 30
An affordable entry point with real professional features — noise-cancelling microphone, in-cup volume and call controls, and a busylight that activates automatically during calls. Available in mono or stereo, UC or Teams certified.
Hi-fi stereo covering both ears, so between calls you can listen to music on the computer. The dual-ear design also helps block background noise in a busy office. Backed by a 2-year warranty and Microsoft Teams certified.
True stereo sound with Acoustic Fence technology on the bendable boom arm, fully compatible with laptops and desktops using USB-C. Also works via 3.5mm with a smartphone or tablet, making one headset useful across devices. Microsoft Teams certified.
The familiar EncorePro convertible wearing style, now built for direct computer connection — no adapter required. Noise-cancelling microphone in the bendable boom, call controls for answer/end and hold, and both USB-A and USB-C connectors included so you're never stuck guessing which port you need.
A standout feature few other headsets offer: both a 3.5mm smartphone plug and a USB connection in one headset, so it works for Teams and for a personal phone. Wideband hi-fi stereo sound, noise-cancelling microphone, full in-line call controls, and foldable for business travel. Firmware upgradable via Poly's software, with DSP processing for the best possible audio.
Leatherette ear cushions with memory foam, a busylight with more visible LEDs than the entry-level model, and mute-by-flip — bring the boom arm up to mute, down to unmute. Built-in volume controls on the ear cup for quick, intuitive adjustment.
A lightweight, comfortable mono headset with Jabra's Advanced Noise Cancelling microphones and built-in hearing protection against sudden loud sound spikes. A customizable control unit adds an optional push-to-talk feature, plus its own busylight for at-a-glance status.
For genuinely loud environments — Digital Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling that adjusts to your surroundings, from an HVAC hum to a noisy home office. Smart sensors and Acoustic Fence technology on the boom notify you if you're still muted when you start talking again. A busylight doubles as a notification for missed calls or Teams messages.
A well-rounded Bluetooth USB headset with Acoustic Fence technology on the flexible boom, a user-friendly interface, and the BT700 dongle for up to 160 feet of range, 24 hours of talk time, and 50 days of standby.
Dual memory foam in the earcups for comfort and noise blocking, adjustable Active Noise Cancelling, a foldable boom that converts to boomless use, and up to 36 hours of battery. Works corded via Voice over USB when needed. 2-year warranty. Read our full hands-on review.
Connects to a desk phone, computer, and Bluetooth mobile device all at once via Class 1 Bluetooth and up to 300 feet of range. Digital Hybrid ANC and an Acoustic Fence boom worn on either side, with smart sensors that answer a call the moment you put the headset on.
Advanced Digital Hybrid ANC with adjustable levels, an included BT700 USB-A dongle, Qi wireless charging case that holds both earbuds and the dongle, an OLED touch display for real-time battery and status info, and WindSmart technology across 3 microphones to reduce wind noise.
ANC with HearThrough technology, letting you have a face-to-face conversation without removing the earbuds. The case stores both earbuds and the Link 380 dongle together. Start a call on one earbud, then swap in the other when the first runs low — the call switches automatically.
If you also have a desk phone, these headsets add DECT wireless range on top of Teams/computer connectivity.
Myth
The Plantronics Savi 8210/8220/8240 and Poly Savi 7410/7420 Office are still the top wireless picks for a desk phone.
Reality
All are discontinued. The Poly Savi 8400 series (8410 mono, 8420 stereo with ANC and HAC, 8445 convertible with hot-swap battery) is the current tri-connectivity replacement, and the Savi 7320 covers desk phone plus computer without Bluetooth for security-conscious environments. Similarly, the original Jabra Engage 75 has been replaced by the Engage 65 SE.
Best entry desk-phone wireless
Poly Savi 8410 Office
Triple connectivity — desk phone, computer, and Bluetooth mobile — from one base, with a color LED screen for easy customization and real-time headset status. Telecoil hearing-aid compatible.
The stereo sibling of the 8410, adding Active Noise Cancelling you can turn on or off as needed. A noise-cancelling microphone with close-conversation-limiting technology blocks loud coworker chatter from bleeding into your calls.
Convertible wearing style (over-the-head, over-the-ear, or behind-the-neck) with a hot-swappable spare battery for unlimited talk time — swap mid-call without dropping it. Noise-cancelling microphone with close-conversation limiting, and illuminated hard keys on the base for device status and mute reminders.
The current replacement for the discontinued original Engage 75/65 — multi-device connectivity with a desk phone and computer via USB, an easy-to-navigate status display, and up to 490 feet of range on a Security Step C encrypted frequency. Supports significantly higher headset density in one location than standard DECT.
A DECT wireless headset for the computer specifically, using the Link 400 dongle — durable enough to survive being bent while carrying a laptop. Up to 490 feet of range with Security Step C encryption for a harder-to-intercept connection.
Bluetooth alternative: desk phone + computer + mobile
Best over-ear discreet Bluetooth
EPOS/Poly Voyager 5200 Office
A Class 1 Bluetooth headset in a discreet over-the-ear style, connecting to a desk phone, computer, and mobile device at once. WindSmart technology on the boom for outdoor/remote use, up to 300 feet of range, and up to 7 hours of talk time or 9 days standby.
For the previous top pick in this category, the Poly Voyager 4245 — now discontinued — the Poly Voyager Focus 2 above is the current equivalent, offering the same tri-device connectivity with added ANC.
These are our staff-recommended picks for Microsoft Teams, though many other certified models exist. Browse the full current range, or call our team at 877-999-3838 with questions about any of these.
What is the best headset for Microsoft Teams?
For corded use, the Jabra Evolve2 30/40 and Poly Blackwire 3320/8225 are top picks by budget. For wireless with a desk phone, the Poly Savi 8400 series and Jabra Engage 65 SE are current top-tier options, replacing older discontinued Savi 8200/7400 series and original Engage 75 models.
What replaced the Plantronics Savi 8210, 8220, and 8240?
All three are discontinued. The current Poly Savi 8400 series replaces them: the 8410 (mono), 8420 (stereo with ANC and hearing-aid compatibility), and 8445 (convertible with hot-swap battery), all with tri-connectivity to a desk phone, computer, and Bluetooth mobile device.
What replaced the Poly Savi 7410 and 7420 Office?
Both are discontinued. The Poly Savi 8420 Office is the current equivalent for tri-connectivity with ANC, or the Savi 7320 for desk phone and computer without Bluetooth in security-conscious environments.
What replaced the original Jabra Engage 75?
The Jabra Engage 65 SE is the current replacement, offering improved range, battery life, and headset density for busy offices, with the same desk phone and computer connectivity.
Does Microsoft Teams still use Skype for Business certification?
No. Skype for Business (and its predecessor, Lync) have both been retired and replaced by Microsoft Teams. Current headsets are certified directly for Teams rather than the older Skype for Business standard.
Whatever your budget or connection needs, there's a current Teams-certified headset that fits — the trick is matching corded vs. wireless, and desk-phone vs. computer-only, to how you actually work.
