The Plantronics EncorePro HW710 is built to avoid all of that: at 53 grams, with plush leatherette cushions and a nylon-composite frame, it's the premium 700-series EncorePro, made to be worn all day and barely noticed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's the mono, over-the-head model at the top of the wired EncorePro line — formerly the HW291N — and like its workhorse siblings, it comes in a version for whatever phone is on your desk. This is the current standard version; the DA90-managed HW710D digital model has been discontinued.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe premium 700-series build\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat separates the EncorePro HW710 from the 500-series HW510 is materials. Where the 500 uses foam cushions and an aluminum frame, the HW710 uses plush leatherette ear pads over an ultra-light nylon-composite body, with a reinforced headband and an elegant satin finish — the tier Poly builds to reward top performers and to put on the people who are seen, like a front desk or client-facing team.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n[stat]53 grams — premium comfort, all-day light[\/stat]\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA boom that telescopes and pivots\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe microphone isn't just flexible. It telescopes in and out and pivots up and down, so you set it precisely — about a quarter-inch from the corner of your mouth — rather than bending it roughly into place. The low-sitting arm then sits clear of your peripheral vision, out of your sightline through the day, while the noise-canceling mic keeps your background out of the caller's ear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLeatherette that doesn't fight your hair\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n[card title=\"The comfort detail you feel but rarely read\"]Foam cushions tend to stick and tangle in your hair every time you put a headset on or take it off. The HW710's leatherette pads slide over hair cleanly — no snag, no mess — which, across a day of on-and-off, is a small comfort that adds up. They're also softer against the ear over a long shift and wipe clean between users, which matters in a shared or hot-desking environment.[\/card]\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHW710 or HW510 — is the premium worth it?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe EncorePro HW710 is worth the step up when people wear the headset all day, when they're client-facing or at a front desk where the look matters, or when you want to reward your best agents with the most comfortable option. For general call-center use where foam cushions are fine, the HW510 does the same core job for less. Same Quick Disconnect connection, same noise-canceling clarity — the HW710 adds the leatherette comfort, the lighter premium materials, and the polished satin look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuild the exact EncorePro HW710 you need\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSeven versions, and every one is the same premium HW710 headset.

The phone-specific bundles — Avaya, Cisco, Cisco SPA, Polycom, and Yealink — include the certified cable and plug straight into that phone, no amplifier. The universal QD version includes no cable: its Quick Disconnect needs a Plantronics M22 amplifier, a direct-connect bottom cable, or a DA-series USB adapter for softphones, bought separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n[callout type=\"honest\"]The ordering mistake to avoid: the universal QD EncorePro HW710 doesn't plug into a phone on its own — it needs an amplifier or cable. If you know your phone, the matching bundle is the simpler buy, with the certified cable already in the box. For a computer or softphone, add a DA-series USB adapter. One more note: this standard HW710 is the current model — the DA90-managed digital HW710D has been discontinued, so if you were considering the digital version, ask us about current alternatives first.[\/callout]\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe EncorePro HW710 is the headset you buy when comfort and appearance both count — premium leatherette and nylon-composite materials, a featherweight 53 grams, and a satin finish that looks the part, in the same wired Quick Disconnect line as the rest of the EncorePro family.
