Bluetooth vs DECT- What's the difference?

Connectivity

There's many different variants to choose from in the Savi 8200 series of wireless headsets. The Savi 8200 Office series (8210 and 8220) will connect with your desk phone, computer and mobile phone.

Microphone

The Savi 8200 Office series has a noise canceling microphone and also has an added feature called "close conversation limiting" which allows you to further reduce unwanted background noise callers would otherwise hear. The Plantronics Hub is required in order to adjust this feature. 

Important note

If you're using a computer softphone, not all softphones have the feature built in where you can answer/end calls away from the phone from the headset. 

If the softphone is compatible, most likely you will also need the Plantronics Hub downloaded in order for the remote call answering feature to work on your headset.

The Savi 8220 will replace the Savi W720 and these are the key differences.

• Larger and more padded ear cushions with ANC
• Added with close conversation limited to further reduce background noise
• Ringer in the charging base if you use the Savi 8220 on the computer and you don't have computer speakers, the ringer in the base will allow you to hear softphone calls from the base.
