Who wins on what

Ranked by what users actually praise

Overall Impression

The USB adapter is central to how this headset works, and losing it causes real problems. Multiple users focus on the small USB adapter needed for pairing. One user asked if the headset could connect without it, and another lost theirs entirely, resorting to the wired cable, only to have the headset report no phone connected. A third user mentioned their unit shipped with a USB-C adapter instead of standard USB, suggesting inconsistency in what's included in the box across units or regions.

Setup and connectivity questions suggest the pairing process isn't always intuitive. Users asked practical setup questions, including whether the headset could connect to a Polycom HD Voice landline phone or only via Bluetooth, and which Windows Bluetooth profile ('Headphones' vs 'Headset Earphone') is correct when also pairing to an iPhone. Another user wanted a compatible charging stand with correct voltage and amperage to avoid battery damage, indicating unclear official charging guidance for some buyers.

Microphone performance draws direct complaints from at least two users. One user reported that people could not hear them during calls even after pressing the mute button, with no resolution described. Another user said the microphone simply did not work when paired with a Galaxy S22 smartphone. These reports point to potential mic reliability or compatibility issues that surfaced after pairing, rather than problems with initial setup alone.
