Connectivity
Unboxing the Poly Savi 7300, my first thought was, 'Now what?'. Yet, connecting it was smooth. Ideally, you connect it to your laptop via USB, but the inclusion of a hub for PC (via USB) and even landline phones (via Ethernet) highlights its office superiority. This odd-looking hub, which doubles as a coat hanger when the headset's not in use, is quite handy. Once connected, enjoy wireless use like other Poly headsets we've tested, such as the Voyager 8200 UC, albeit with a practical range closer to 50m than the advertised 180m. Battery life is up to 13 hours, though actual use may vary.
The headset's design is lightweight and comfortable for hours. The microphone's retracting sound is reminiscent of zipping up a sweater. It also features volume control, a mute button, and a Microsoft Teams button on the right ear. Touch controls are smooth and convenient for stretching your legs during calls.
DECT
The Poly Savi 7300 headset meets DECT quality standards, a secure telecom protocol established by ETSI in 1992, initially for phones but now extended to office headsets.
To earn the DECT label, the Savi 7300 excels in speech quality, offers military-grade security to prevent eavesdropping with 128-bit authentication and 256-bit AES encryption, and minimizes interference, claiming to be twice as resistant as other DECT headsets.
Conclusion
The Poly Savi 7300 is not your average headset; it targets sectors dealing with sensitive data, such as government and healthcare, requiring top-notch security standards. Thus, it's a high-end office headset not intended for casual home use due to its premium security features and price.
