POLY VOYAGER FREE 60+ UC REVIEW

If you've been searching for wireless earbuds that blend work and play seamlessly, let me introduce you to the Poly Voyager Free 60+ UC. This isn't just another pair of earbuds; it's a statement of style, functionality, and innovation, especially for business professionals.

DESIGN & BUILD: PREMIUM MEETS COMFORT

The moment you lay eyes on the Poly Voyager Free 60+ UC, you're greeted with a premium vibe. Offered in Carbon Black and White Sand, these earbuds project a high-end appearance. But it's not just about looks; the design ensures a comfy and secure fit (although I learned by experience, this secure fit comes as you slightly twist the buds into place in your ears), making them perfect for lengthy calls or your favorite playlists.

TOUCH SCREEN CASE: A NIFTY GADGET

Initially, I was skeptical about the touchscreen on the case. Yet, it quickly proved itself more than a gimmick. It's incredibly handy for checking battery levels, managing your audio, and utilizing call controls without fumbling through apps. I especially found this useful when taking video meetings at my desk, when the mute button on the case screen was always more accessible and visible than the mute button in my Zoom or Teams app; it's like having a smart control hub right at your fingertips.

CONNECTIVITY: UNIQUELY VERSATILE

The Voyager Free 60+ UC offers seamless connectivity, showcasing its standard Bluetooth feature for effortless wireless pairing with your devices. However, it distinguishes itself with a supplementary USB dongle catering to those computers that lack built-in Bluetooth capability, or even enhancing connection stability for online meetings taken on your PC. This dongle, which ensures a robust link to your PC, can conveniently be stored in a dedicated slot within the earbud case, underscoring the thoughtful design of this gadget.

Adding to its versatility, supposedly the earbud case can be connected to non-Bluetooth devices through a USB-C to 3.5 mm aux cable (I say supposedly, as I have not personally tested this feature), presenting a unique solution for situations where traditional Bluetooth pairing isn't an option. A prime example of this feature's practicality is its use on airplanes, allowing you to connect the case directly to the plane's media system via the 3.5 mm aux jack for an uninterrupted audio experience while watching movies. This innovative approach not only broadens the usability of the Voyager Free 60+ UC but also redefines the convenience of earbud connectivity.

SOUND QUALITY: CRYSTAL CLEAR

With three microphones and WindSmart technology, these earbuds ensure your calls are clear, even in breezy conditions. While they might not match the clarity of over-the-ear headsets with a built-in microphone boom (the boom is that adjustable arm on most office headsets that extend the microphone, putting it close to your mouth), they certainly outshine other earbuds, making them ideal for professional use.

BATTERY LIFE: POWER THROUGH YOUR DAY

Worried about battery life? Don't be. The earbuds offer 5.5 hours of use, and the case provides an additional 11 hours. Whether for work or play, these earbuds keep up with your busy schedule​​.

MORE COOL FEATURES: THE ICING ON THE CAKE

What sets the Voyager Free 60+ UC apart are its thoughtful extras. Qi-certified for wireless charging, it offers fast charging for those in a hurry, multipoint connectivity to juggle devices like a pro, and even noise-canceling options for your peace of mind​​.

FINAL VERDICT: WHO SHOULD BUY THE VOYAGER FREE 60+ UC?

If you're a professional looking for versatile, high-quality earbuds that can keep pace with your work and personal life, the Poly Voyager Free 60+ UC should be at the top of your list. With its sophisticated design, innovative touch screen case, and superior sound quality, it's a game-changer in the world of wireless earbuds. On the flip side, if your work has you constantly on the move, the slimmer, more pocket-friendly version without the touch screen not only makes sense but also saves you some cash. Either way, Poly offers a tailored solution to fit your professional lifestyle.
