Description
Comfort for a whole shift
The Blackwire 3300 is a corded headset built around comfort. It has a plushly padded headband and soft ear cushions, so it wears well even for eight hours at a stretch. The 32 mm driver is the largest in the corded Blackwire 3000 range and handles voice and computer audio without strain. There is nothing to charge or pair, which is decisive when hundreds of units are deployed.
How it differs from the 3200 range
Both ranges are corded USB headsets at a similar price. The 3300 has a larger driver, 32 mm against 28 mm, and softer padding, that is comfort. The 3200 has a metal headband and leatherette cushions that fold flat, that is compactness. If the customer moves headsets between desks, take the 3200. If the user wears them all shift in one place, take the 3300.
Certifications are specific here
Unlike the 3200 range, it has specific certifications for the 3300 order codes. Universal codes are certified for Zoom, codes for Microsoft Teams carry Microsoft Teams certification and a dedicated Teams button on the inline module. Both branches additionally have Works With Chromebook. If the customer requires certification contractually, the 3300 range is the safer choice than the 3200.

Limits and what to tell the customer
Leatherette cushions wear worse in the heat than the foam ones on the 3310 and 3320. They do clean more easily and shut the room out better.
The headset has no active noise cancelling. A noisy open-plan office belongs to the Blackwire 8225.
This code has no Zoom certification, only the universal codes carry it. For a mixed environment consider the universal variant.
It is the previous generation. New deployments belong to the Mission 400 range.
⚑ atlantis note
3200 or 3300 is decided by how it is worn
The two ranges are close in audio, the difference is in construction. The 3300 is more comfortable, the 3200 more compact. Ask whether the user has their own desk and leaves the headset there, in which case the 3300. If they carry it in a backpack or it is shared between shifts, then the 3200 with cushions that fold flat.
Order the Teams version deliberately
Codes for Microsoft Teams carry Teams certification and a dedicated button, but they lose the Zoom certification that the universal codes have. If the customer runs on Teams, the Teams version is right. If they use both or do not know, take the universal code and they will not miss the button.
Code 760Q7AA is the TAA version
Code 760Q7AA is the 3310 for Microsoft Teams in the TAA version, that is compliant with the US Trade Agreements Act. For an ordinary Czech customer it offers no advantage over code 8X216AA. Order it only where the customer explicitly asks for it, typically for supplies into US government structures.
Who it suits
Recommended use | a corded USB headset with a sleek design and professional-quality audio at a moderate price, meant for quick deployment |
|---|---|
Position in the portfolio | corded USB headsets, Blackwire 3300 range, previous generation |
How it differs from the Blackwire 3200 | a larger driver, 32 mm against 28 mm, a plushly padded headband and softer cushions instead of a metal headband and cushions that fold flat |
Suitable
Contact centres and offices where the user sits at their own desk and wears the headset all shift. Deployments where the customer requires Zoom or Microsoft Teams certification.
Verify
Whether the customer will really use the plug, otherwise the cheaper model without the five is enough. Which platform the customer runs, and accordingly a universal code or a Teams version. Whether headsets are moved around, in which case the 3200.
Consider another model
Mission 400 for new deployments, Blackwire 3200 for compactness, Blackwire 8225 for active noise cancelling, Voyager 4320 for a wireless connection.
The “Verify” and “Consider another model” cards come from the experience of the atlantis team.
