Poly Savi 8410 Office DECT Headset: Phone-Mobile-PC Connectivity

3 Models To Choose From

The Savi 8400 Office comes in a few different configurations:

• Poly Savi 8410 Office Mono - over the head, single ear
• Poly Savi 8420 Office Stereo - over the head, double ear
• Poly Savi 8445 Office Convertible - multiple wearing styles included

Some people prefer to have one ear uncovered, so they can hear their surroundings. If that's you, then the 8410 model would be the right choice.

Others, prefer to have both ears covered so they can block out background noise, and keep their concentration. For those people, the Poly Savi 8420 would be a perfect fit.

Still others like the versatility of having a few different wearing styles to switch between. If that describes how you think, then the Savi 8445 model would be a solid choice.

Whichever configuration you prefer, the Poly Savi 8400 Office allows you to choose the style that suits you best.

Below are the highlights of the Poly Savi 8410 Office headset, starting with the amount of time you can walk and talk.

DECT Vs. Bluetooth

The Poly Savi 8410 headset operates using DECT wireless technology that's known to be more secure compared to Bluetooth. In fact, it's Military grade security making it safe to use in areas that deal with sensitive information like in Banking, Finance, Government and Healthcare.

So if keeping your calls secure is important to you, rest assured that the Poly Savi 8410, and its DECT technology will keep your calls private.

And if you'd like to learn more about the differences between DECT and Bluetooth, then make sure to watch our comparison video at the very bottom of this product listing, under downloads.

Savi 8410 Battery Details

The Poly Savi 8410 Office is a wireless headset that uses a rechargable battery. Not all headset batteries are the same because they vary in their talk time, listening time, standby time, how long it takes to recharge, and whether the battery can be replaced or not. 

Here’s what you need to know about the battery in this headset, and the other models in the Savi 8400 Office family.

• Talk Time - up to 13 hours - 8410, and 8420 models
• Talk Time - unlimited on 8445 model
• Standby time - up to 50 hours - 8410 and 8420 
• Recharge time - 3 hours
• Customer replaceable battery - Yes 
• Battery type: Lithium ion Polymer
• 8410, 8420 and 8445 headset batteries can be replaced

Poly Savi 8410 Microphone

The Poly Savi 8410 Office comes with a noise canceling microphone that’s designed to remove unwanted background noise. 

But Poly added another microphone feature that stands out.  They engineered a feature into the Savi 8400 Office called “Close Conversation Limiting.” In short, this feature tunes out nearby conversations and places the focus on your voice. This helps to enhance the sound of your voice to your callers, making it easier for them to hear, and understand you. Enhanced intelligibility means better communication and productivity.

Savi 8410 Wireless Range  

A lot of people like freedom of movement, and no cord to get in the way, which are a couple of the reasons why people buy wireless headsets. And when it comes to range, the more they can get, the happier most people are.

Here’s what the Poly Savi 8410 Office offers in terms of walk and talk distance.

• Range - Line of sight - up to 590 feet, or 180 meters
• Range - In typical office environments - up to 180 feet, or 55 meters

If you’re someone who is really locked in on wireless range, then plan on getting up to 180 feet, and not the 590 feet you'll see referenced. 

Line of sight, or open field tests, are defined in this way;

"a straight line along which an observer has unobstructed vision." 

That doesn't describe a typical office environment, because offices have obstructions like walls, elevators, windows, people and a lot more, all of which weaken a wireless signal, and reduces wireless range. With that in mind, don't count on getting 590 feet of range because it's not going to happen unless you work where there are no obstructions at all. And it's for this reason Poly has made the distinction between line of sight, and a typical office.  

That said, for most of us, 180 feet of wireless should be sufficient, though longer range wireless headsets are available.

Personal Conferencing With The Savi 8410

The Poly Savi 8410 Office allows you to have up to four headsets conferenced in on a call, so you can collaborate whether everyone is nearby, or scattered across the office.

No need to schedule the conference room when you have one built into your Savi 8410 Office base. Conferencing convenience for you and your coworkers is as close as your desktop.

So whether you need to collaborate together on a project, or team up together to help your customers, the Poly Savi 8410 Office has the tool for the job.

Poly Savi 8410 Headset Weight

You’ll be wearing this headset for hours at a time, so I’m pretty sure you’d like to know how heavy it is. I know I would. Well, here’s the 411 on weight, and no, the Poly Savi 8410 Office doesn't work and play in the heavyweight division.

• Savi 8410 Mono - 4 ounces, 115 grams

At Headset Advisor, we’ve been very focused on headsets for three decades, which means we’d recognize a heavy headset if we came across one. The Poly Savi 8410 Office weight is about right for a mono headset, which means you should have a comfortable wearing experience.

Connectivity - What The Savi 8410 Connects To

It’s always good to know what a wireless headset connects to. This way, you know what you can use it with, and what you can’t. Savi headsets have always been versatile in what they connect to, and the 8410 keeps with that tradition.

The Poly Savi 8410 Office connects to:

1. Computer
2. Deskphone
3. Mobile phone

Rather than having several headsets so you can connect to all your devices, and be hands free, the Poly Savi 8410 Office allows you to have one headset for all your devices.

There’s value to having one headset because there’s fewer things to keep track of, fewer devices to manage, fewer devices to buy, and fewer devices to learn. Instead, one headset follows you where you go, and what you're connected to. 

Note: The Bluetooth on the 8410 is located in the base which means the headset cannot be used outside of the office. Something to keep in mind.

And in terms of which voice platform you can use the Savi 8410 with, it's universally compatible, and can be used with all the leading UC applications like Microsoft Teams, RingCentral,  Zoom, Dialpad, 8x8 and others.

Poly Savi 8410 Versatile Base

The base on the new Poly Savi 8410 Office has a new display that gives it a fresh new modern look, and the pleasing colors add to its appeal.

The base display allows you to control your audio settings, which is convenient, and it has a few other adjustments like a scroll wheel, back button, Teams button (for that variant), plus PC, Bluetooth and deskphone buttons. So connecting  to, or switching  between these connections is very easy.

On the back of the base, you'll find a built-in ringer so you can hear incoming calls. 

Something that’s interesting is the base on the Savi 8410 Office is also backwards compatible to many of the former Savi headset models allowing it to work with these headsets: 

• Savi 8400
• Savi 8200
• Savi 7400
• Savi 7300

So if you use some of these past generations of Savi headsets, you’ll be able to use the new 8400 base with them. This gives you more versatility, and interoperability which isn't something you normally get in headset bases because most aren't cross compatible.
