Features and benefits 

• Integrated serviceability : Headsets are easier to deploy, manage, and service with Cisco collaboration plus headsets. Centrally manage policy, defaults, and much more when using Cisco headsets with Cisco Unified Communications Manager and devices.
• Premium audio and noise isolation : The microphone is exceptional at capturing wide bandwidth sound, with little signal noise and low distortion. It is composed of a high-quality electret capsule and unique housing design. The capsule’s orientation in the microphone housing creates a short acoustic path, which provides maximum acoustic sensitivity (best voice reception) and balanced noise reduction. The optimized microphone capsule and housing create a clean and natural sound with reduced background noise so the user’s voice can be clearly heard.
• Lightweight and ergonomic design : Built with comfort in mind, these headsets are designed to be delightful to wear for extended periods of time and to reduce head fatigue. They feature quality materials, including multiaxial ear cups.
