Why We Love It
The Voyager Edge is a sophisticated, performance-driven headset. During testing, we experienced outstanding call quality and noise cancellation. If you work in an energetic or loud environment, this headset will get you through the day.
Voice commands and audio alerts were fluid and informative, so you can work hands-free whenever necessary. We were able to redirect calls, pause music for incoming calls, and automatically answer calls when we put on the headset. It also syncs to your contacts so you can hear who's calling without having to look at your smartphone. All these features are extremely beneficial for those needing to change between tasks quickly and efficiently.
Perhaps the most unique feature of the Plantronics Voyager Edge is its included portable charging case. When your headset is running low on power, just latch it into the small container and you can recharge anywhere, adding up to 10 more hours of talk time. Unlike some other headsets that can sometimes make it tricky to check battery level, the Voyager Edge made it simple by simply swiping our finger over the icons.
Although it took us a couple seconds to find the proper positioning on our ear, the feel of the device is light, compact and comfortable to wear. Plantronics' addition of an invisible non-coated liquid repellent should also protect you and the Voyager Edge from the hazards of rainy days and coffee spills.
Overall, we believe the Voyager Edge is an excellent choice for those looking for executive-grade sound quality, simple-to-use yet advanced features, and an easy and quick way to recharge.
