Poly EncorePro 525 Overview

The EncorePro HW525 USB Binaural On-Ear Headset from Plantronics when combined with optional Plantronics Manager Pro software, offers a fully integrated audio and asset management solution providing all-day users with enhanced audio, comfort, and durability, and IT managers with management capabilities. The adjustable headset features a super-lightweight, robust design and soft, audio-optimized ear cushions for all-day comfort. Intuitive inline controls let you answer/end calls, control the volume, and mute.

The custom microphone reduces background noise and interference, ensuring fewer missed words and a better experience. Flexible noise-canceling boom with visual positioning guides makes it easy to establish optimum microphone placement for voice clarity. Tuned stereo wideband audio delivers richer, clearer conversations, while SoundGuard and SoundGuard DIGITAL protect you from hearing discomfort and listening fatigue. The SoundGuard is acoustic limiting for hearing protection against sounds above 118 dBA. SoundGuard DIGITAL with G616 support limits the level to 102 dB SPL. Anti-startle provides additional protection that detects and eliminates sudden increase in sound, while Time Weighted Average (TWA) prevents average daily sound exposure from exceeding 85 or 80 dBA.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got an EncorePro HW520NC provided by our company. I'm using it for 8-9 hours everyday. It's the best! Most comfortable headset ever!

This is absolutely amazing and amazing. This is a really good product. It’s good for call center and offices that have a lot of background noise. It’s very comfortable to wear for a long time. The sound quality is great too crisp.

Does not connect to USB without additional costs

I purchased this for my office & it will not connect to the USB port unless you buy an additional cable. This should have been stated on the website. Very disappointed in this purchase!

Can't plug it into my computer

It looks like I have to buy an additional cord to plug this into the headphone jack (weird it does not plug in via USB). It did not come with the attachment to plug this into my computer which is ridiculous given the price I paid for this.

Fragile Headset

The company where I work purchased about 40 of these, within six months there were about seven broken. Cheap, thin plastic housing, now we ran out of warranty and they keep on breaking. Stay away from this brand.

Painful

These are provided at the call center I work at. The sound quality is nice but they are quite painful to wear. I am not a fan of on the ear head phones in general and these ones seem extra snug (I have an average size head). By the end of my shift my ears hurt so bad that I want to cry most days. I am currently searching for something less painful.

Works Great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is very comfortable, especially if you wear a hearing aid. I have not tried it on the Avaya telephone yet but it works great on the computer. The Microsoft Teams certified connector is a plus. Just wished it came with a stand so I would not have to lay it on my desk.

Durability problems

I've had this product for several years. Foam ear cushions deteriorated after a couple of years. I can't figure out how to get replacements and whether they are at a reasonable price. Plastic cover with Plantronics printing that covers band adjustment just broke. Was able to "fix" problem by using small ty rap to hold it in place. The bottom line is that this product suffers from durability problems The mandatory questions on this review submission form are confusing with regards to raffle and free product. I checked NO because I have not received anything. But I would like to have both happen.
