Description

A headset made for shift work

The EncorePro 300 is the most affordable Poly range for contact centres. It is built around what matters in a call centre: low weight, replaceable ear cushions, a flexible boom and audio tuned for the voice rather than for music. The driver bandwidth is therefore 150 Hz to 6.8 kHz, the band of the human voice. It is not for listening to music, it is for eight hours of calls.

It plugs in directly, with no adapter

This code ends in a USB-A connector, so it plugs into a computer and works. It needs no adapter and no extra cable, unlike the QD codes. It also carries call control on the cable, that is answer and end, mute and volume. The cable is 2190 mm long, substantially more than the 762 mm of the QD versions, where the rest of the run is supplied by the adapter.

When to take the QD version

If the agent leaves the desk, walks to the printer or over to colleagues, the QD version makes sense. It is a break-away, so the agent disconnects with one click and keeps the headset on. The condition is that a DA75 or DA85 adapter or an MDA switch is bought with it. The QD version also suits places where the headset connects to a desk phone, because only the cable changes.

Strengths and limits

Strengths

A QD break-away, the agent leaves the desk without taking the headset off
One headset outlives several generations of phones, only the cable changes
Low weight of 70 g and replaceable ear cushions
Audio tuned for the voice, a flexible noise cancelling boom

Limits and what to tell the customer

The headset will not connect to a desk phone. The USB-A connector is meant for a computer, a phone needs the QD version with a cable.
The agent cannot disconnect from the desk with one click, as the QD version allows. They must take the headset off or unplug it from the port.
The box holds only the headset and a guide. No cable, no case, no spare ear cushions.

⚑ atlantis note

With this code you need not ask about the cable

This is the simpler half of the range. The headset plugs into USB and works, nothing is bought with it. Watch the opposite case though: if the customer needs to connect a desk phone as well, this code cannot do it and the QD version with the matching cable is theirs. So ask whether calls are made from the computer only.

QD or USB is decided by how much the agent moves

If the agent leaves the desk, walks to the printer or over to colleagues, QD makes sense because they disconnect with one click. If they stay put, USB is cheaper and simpler and additionally has controls on the cable. Ask about this rather than about price, the difference is in operation, not in audio specifications.

Every code in the 300 range is TAA

All six codes we carry are TAA versions, that is compliant with the US Trade Agreements Act. For a Czech customer that is neither an advantage nor a drawback, it simply means no non-TAA version is in our offering. If the customer explicitly requires TAA, the 300 range meets it.

Who it suits

Recommended deployment
Recommended use	a corded headset for contact centres with an emphasis on audio quality and all-day agent comfort, with a flexible boom and fold-flat earpieces
Position in the portfolio	corded contact centre headsets, EncorePro 300 range, the most affordable of the three
How it differs from the 500 and 700	it is more affordable and lighter with a simpler construction and a narrower driver bandwidth; it offers neither a voice tube version nor convertible wearing

Suitable

Contact centres and helpdesks on shift work where headsets are deployed in tens to hundreds of units and agents move away from the desk. Environments that already have QD cables or switches.

Verify

What the headset plugs into, a computer, a desk phone or both, and pick the adapter or cable accordingly. Whether the agent needs controls on the cable, in which case the USB version. Monaural or stereo. Whether the customer already has QD accessories.

Consider another model

EncorePro 500 for a more comfortable build and a voice tube, EncorePro 700 for the top tier, Blackwire 3200 for an ordinary office on USB, Savi 7300 for a wireless contact centre.

The “Verify” and “Consider another model” cards come from the experience of the atlantis team.

What to verify before ordering and deploying

Where calls are made from: this code serves a computer only, a desk phone needs the QD version
What it plugs into: a computer, a desk phone or both, and accordingly a DA, a plug cable or an MDA
Agent movement: if they leave the desk, QD; if they stay put, USB is simpler
Inline controls: only the USB-A and USB-C versions have them, the QD version does not
Configuration: monaural when the agent needs to hear colleagues, stereo when the room needs shutting out
Consumables: agree the supply of spare ear cushions upfront, in shift work they wear out fast

The atlantis team helps with every point. From picking the adapter or cable by phone, through choosing the configuration, to supplying consumables.

Warranty

Standard two-year limited HP Poly warranty. Extended support with expedited replacement is provided by the Poly+ Partner programme.

Frequently asked questions

Can I plug the headset straight into a computer?

Yes. This code ends in a USB-A connector, so it plugs in directly and needs nothing else. Only the QD codes need an adapter.

What is the QD connector good for?

The agent disconnects with one click and leaves the desk without taking the headset off. At the same time one headset outlives several generations of phones, because only the cable changes. The connector is rated for more than 30,000 disconnects.

Why is the driver bandwidth only 150 Hz to 6.8 kHz?

It is deliberate. The band is tuned to the human voice, which improves intelligibility in a contact centre. The USB versions have a wider band, 20 Hz to 10 kHz, because they also play the computer's system sounds.

Does the headset have volume control?

Yes, the cable carries a control module for the call, that is answer and end, mute and volume. The QD version has no control on the cable.

What does the TAA version mean?

It is compliance with the US Trade Agreements Act, which matters for supplies into US government structures. All six EncorePro 300 codes we carry are TAA versions.
