Poly Savi 8220 DECT Wireless Stereo Headset - Active Noise Cancellation

Your open office doesn't quiet down for your 2pm call, and a headset that only filters what your caller hears does nothing about the noise hitting your own ears. The Poly Savi 8220 wireless headset solves both problems at once — genuine active noise cancellation for what you hear, plus a separate noise-canceling microphone for what your caller hears.

It connects to a PC or Mac over USB with an included DECT adapter — no desk phone, no mobile pairing, just plug-and-play wireless freedom for softphone calls and music. Poly markets it as the only DECT stereo headset on the market with active noise cancellation, and having ANC on a DECT (not Bluetooth) headset is genuinely uncommon in this category.

Build the exact Savi 8220 you need

One choice: which certification matches your platform.

Three different noise features — and what each one actually does

The Poly Savi 8220 wireless headset runs three separate noise-management features that most spec sheets lump into one vague "noise canceling" bullet. Active Noise Cancellation blocks the sound reaching your ears — the office hum, the HVAC, the open floor plan — and toggles on or off with a dedicated switch. The noise-canceling microphone is a completely different system: it filters background sound out of what your caller hears on their end. Close Conversation Limiting is the third, reducing how far your own voice carries to people near you, for conversations you'd rather keep private.

When to run ANC, and when to leave it off

Active Noise Cancellation on the Poly Savi 8220 wireless headset trades battery life and room awareness for quiet — right for a loud floor or a focus session, less useful if you need to hear a colleague walk up or catch an announcement. It's a physical switch, not a software toggle buried in an app, so switching between modes takes a second.

Battery, range, and audio quality

The Poly Savi 8220 wireless headset runs up to 13 hours of talk time on its 700mAh battery, with 50 hours of standby and a 3-hour full charge — or charge and talk at the same time over the included USB cable. Wireless range reaches up to 450 ft with the included D400 USB-A DECT adapter, well beyond what a Bluetooth headset can offer at any price point. Audio runs wideband from 100–6800 Hz for calls and full 20 Hz–20 kHz for music and media, so the same headset that handles your softphone calls doubles as a genuinely usable pair of headphones between meetings.

Mute alerts that actually work

A voice alert announces mute status out loud, and it's also displayed on the USB adapter and on your PC — three ways to know you're muted before you start talking to an empty room. Dynamic Mute Alert goes a step further, sensing when you're talking while muted and flagging it in the moment, not after the meeting's already moved on without you.

Security and hearing protection

SoundGuard DIGITAL caps sound exposure at 118dBA, protecting your hearing from a sudden spike on the line, and the headset carries DECT Security certification for encrypted, interference-free calls. Leatherette ear cushions and an adjustable headband are built for full workday wear at 160 grams — light enough that ANC on for hours doesn't turn into ear fatigue by 4pm.

This is the headset for someone who genuinely needs both ears blocked from the room and clear audio going out — not a headset trying to do everything, but one doing the DECT-plus-ANC combination that's still rare in this category. Between the range, the battery, and three separate noise features actually doing distinct jobs, it holds up to a full week of hybrid work without asking for much back.
