The Poly Savi 8445 wireless headset solves that with two batteries included in every box — swap the spent one for the charged one without dropping the call, and the shift-length battery anxiety just goes away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's the convertible model in Poly's current Savi 8400 series — over-the-ear, over-the-head, or behind-the-neck, all three included — with three-way connectivity to a desk phone, computer, and Bluetooth mobile phone running through one base. If you've been comparing this against an older Savi 8240 or 8245 listing, there's a reason you're only finding one model now, not two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuild the exact Savi 8445 you need\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne choice: which certification matches your platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e[icon:uc] UC Certified.\u003c\/strong\u003e Works with Zoom, Cisco, Google Meet, and other major UC platforms without a single-brand certification badge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e[icon:ms-teams] Microsoft Certified (Savi 8445-M).\u003c\/strong\u003e Formal Microsoft Teams certification with a dedicated Teams button on its version of the base.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Poly Savi 8445 wireless headset replaced two separate products\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePoly used to sell this convertible design as two different SKUs — the Savi 8240 with a single battery, and the Savi 8245 with a hot-swap battery as a step-up option. Per Poly's own published guidance, that split is gone: there's no \"Savi 8440.\" Everything converged into the Poly Savi 8445 wireless headset, and the spare battery that used to be the premium upgrade now ships in every box as standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n[card title=\"One model instead of two\"]The Poly Savi 8445 wireless headset merges what used to be a two-tier choice — the old Savi 8240 and Savi 8245 — into a single product that includes the hot-swap spare battery standard, not as an upsell.[\/card]\n\n\u003ch3\u003eReal active noise cancellation, not just a quiet microphone\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Poly Savi 8445 wireless headset runs hybrid active noise cancellation in the ear cups, confirmed on Poly's own product listing — a separate system from the noise-canceling microphone, which filters what your caller hears rather than what you hear. Close Conversation Limiting adds a third layer, keeping your own voice from carrying to the desk next to you. Three distinct jobs, one headset.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow much DECT security do you actually need?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Poly Savi 8445 wireless headset is DECT Security Certified, which Poly's own guidance says covers the security expectations of most organizations. For buyers with stricter requirements, Poly's own FAQ points elsewhere: the Savi 7300 or 7400 series, built to DECT Security Step C with 256-bit AES encryption and — on the 7300 line — no Bluetooth radio at all. If your policy is doing more than checking a box, that's worth knowing before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n[callout type=\"honest\"]Poly's own FAQ recommends the Savi 7300\/7400 series over the Savi 8445 for organizations with stricter DECT security requirements. The 8445 meets standard DECT Security Certification; the 7300\/7400 series adds Step C certification and 256-bit AES encryption.[\/callout]\n\n\u003ch3\u003eConvertible vs a fixed wearing style — which Savi 8400 fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Poly Savi 8445 wireless headset is the pick if different people will wear the same headset, or if your own preference changes through the day — headband in the morning, ear hook after lunch. If everyone on your team wears it the same way every day, the mono Savi 8410 or stereo Savi 8420 skip the convertible hardware and cost less.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n[compare]\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSavi 8445 (convertible)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThree wearing styles included.

Each battery runs up to 13 hours of talk time with 50 hours of standby; swap to the spare when the first runs low and the ceiling disappears entirely. At 21 grams, it's light enough that a full shift in any of its three wearing styles doesn't turn into ear fatigue by the afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n[stat]Up to 590 ft line-of-sight range · Unlimited talk time (2 batteries included) · 21 g headset weight[\/stat]\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA base built for your whole fleet, and for IT to manage remotely\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Universal Office Base included with the Poly Savi 8445 wireless headset also pairs with Savi 7300, 7400, and 8200 series headset tops, useful for a phased rollout across a mixed deployment. Poly Lens software gives IT remote firmware updates, settings configuration, and fleet-wide visibility without touching every headset by hand. Up to four Savi headsets total can conference into a single base for training or group calls, and remote hands-free answering on the desk phone leg requires an HL10 handset lifter or EHS cable, sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the headset for someone who wants the flexibility of three wearing styles and doesn't want battery anxiety added on top. Poly built the spare battery into the price here rather than making it a decision — the only real choices left are which certification you need and which wearing style you reach for that morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-tab=\"whats-in-the-box\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoly Savi 8445 (or 8445-M) headset (convertible)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUniversal Office Base with charging cradle (Microsoft Teams version for the -M variant)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpare battery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB-A deluxe charger for spare battery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAC power adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTelephone interface cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB-A cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB-C cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConvertible fit kit (ear hook, headband, neckband)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-tab=\"specifications\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpec\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWearing style\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConvertible — over-the-ear, over-the-head, or behind-the-neck\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWireless technology\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDECT 6.0, Bluetooth 5.2 (via office base)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWired connections\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSB-A, USB-C, RJ-11\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRange\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 590 ft line of sight, up to 180 ft typical office\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTalk time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 13 hours per battery; unlimited with hot-swap of second battery\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandby time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 50 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNoise cancellation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHybrid Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) in the ear cups\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMicrophone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNoise-canceling boom with Poly Acoustic Fence technology and Close Conversation Limiting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSecurity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDECT Security Certified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConnectivity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3-way: desk phone, PC\/Mac (USB-A or USB-C), mobile (Bluetooth)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase compatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlso pairs with Savi 7300, 7400, and 8200 series headset tops\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConferencing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 4 total headsets on one base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCertification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUC certified, or Microsoft Teams certified (Savi 8445-M)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRemote answering\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRequires HL10 handset lifter or EHS cable (sold separately)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart numbers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHP 8L7F8AA#ABA (standard); HP 8L7F1AA#ABA (Microsoft certified)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-tab=\"compatibility\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoftware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Poly Lens for enterprise-wide firmware updates, remote settings configuration, and fleet usage analytics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Connects to a desk phone via telephone interface cable, a computer via USB-A or USB-C, and a mobile phone via Bluetooth.
