This is the latest offering from Poly, the headset can be be connected via Bluetooth or corded. While it is a headset the microphone slides out of the way to allow use as a set of headphones, the quality of sound is excellent with plenty of bass.

The headset is quite light at 171 grams, it is 16cm from the centre of the base of the cups to the padded headband and there is an extra 3cm each side if required and up to 14cm width to get the headband cups parallel. The microphone can move down either side and you can choose which side of the back of the cups answer or end calls and which side increases or decreases the volume.

In corded mode you just plug in the USB to USB 'C' cable and you can then listen to music etc. without anything else, linking to a Smart Phone cordless is almost as easy, linking to a PC requires the small USB dongle to be inserted and linked to the headset but it is easy and quick to do providing your PC has Bluetooth enabled.

Charging the headset is quick via the metal 'L' shaped unit that is the ideal place to put the headset when not in use as then it remains fully charged. Even if you forget two hours will give you a full charge and on a PC it can still be used corded via the supplied USB to USB 'C' cable.

There is of course an App which gives more options including letting you know what percentage of charge is current in the unit when in the 'L' shaped charge that has a white line LED along the base and a blue flashing light at the side of the forward cup.

Cutting out external noise works efficiently considering the cups are on ear rather than over ear. The material of the cups is leather but after a couple of hours of use I found my ears getting rather warm.

You will find plenty of cheaper headsets out there but I doubt many will have better sound quality.

At the time of publication the Poly Voyager Focus 2 is available from Amazon priced at £189.99.
