Mono in-ear design with an ear loop, weight around twenty grams

Four noise-cancelling microphones, NoiseBlockAI and six-layer WindSmart
Up to 10 hours of talk time on a charge, up to 30 hours with the charging case

Voice commands to answer and ignore a call, smart sensors
Overview
A boom microphone in the smallest form there is
The Voyager Legend 50 answers a trade-off that keeps coming up with headsets for travel. Earbuds look discreet, but their microphone is far from the mouth. Boom headsets pick up the voice well, but they are bulky. The Legend 50 has a boom just under eight centimetres long and still fits in a pocket. For a salesperson, a driver or a field engineer it is the most practical combination in the Poly portfolio.
Noise and wind cancelling
Four microphones work with NoiseBlockAI, which uses machine learning to separate the voice from ambient noise, and with a six-layer WindSmart system against wind. Wind is the single most common reason the far end cannot understand a small headset worn outdoors.
The charging case is part of the concept
The headset alone lasts up to 10 hours of talk time. The charging case, which is in the box, adds up to another 20, so up to 30 in total. The case charges over a USB-C cable or wirelessly to the Qi standard. Without the case the Legend 50 is a headset for one working day, with it a headset for a whole week away from the office.
Strengths and limits
Strengths
A boom microphone in a form that fits in a pocket
WindSmart wind cancelling, essential on headsets worn outdoors
The charging case is in the box, nothing needs to be added
Two-year manufacturer warranty, longer than on Poly conferencing devices
Limits and what to tell the customer
Ten hours of talk time on a charge is less than on office headsets, where it is 21 to 30. Without the case at hand that is not enough for a whole day of heavy calling.
An in-ear form does not suit everyone. Before a bulk order we recommend trying a sample; three sizes of ear tips are in the box.
The headset has no active noise cancelling for playback, the cancelling works on the microphone side.
This series supports Windows 11, not Windows 10, unlike the other Voyager ranges. Check this on older corporate computers.
⚑ atlantis note
Which code to order
One thing decides it, the platform. Code AT9M9AA#ABB is the universal version with Zoom certification. Code AJ8V4AA#ABB is the Legend 50-M with Microsoft Teams certification. The box contents are the same on both, charging case included.
Who to offer the Legend 50 to
It is a headset for people who call away from a desk. Sales in the car, a field engineer, a manager travelling between sites. For someone sitting at a computer eight hours a day the Voyager 4310 or the Focus 2 is the better answer, because they last longer and are more comfortable all day.
The desk base is two items, not one
If the customer wants to rest the headset on the desk in the Office Voyager base AW6U1AA#AC3, they also need the Legend 50 adapter, code AW6U5AA#AC3. The base alone will not hold the Legend 50. That is two line items, and it is a common source of confusion on an order.
Who it suits
Recommended use | a mono in-ear headset for professionals who call on the move, with the emphasis on noise and wind cancelling |
|---|---|
Position in the portfolio | wireless Bluetooth headsets for travel |
How it differs from the Voyager Free 60 | the Legend 50 is a single earbud with a boom, the Free 60 is a pair without one; the Legend 50 aims at voice intelligibility, the Free 60 at listening |
Good fit
Calling on the move, sales in the car, field engineers, outdoor work and anywhere wind is a factor. A user who wants the headset in a pocket, not in a backpack.
Check
Whether the in-ear form suits the user, ideally on a loan sample. How many hours a day they spend on calls. Which platform is in use. Operating system support on older computers.
Consider another model
Voyager 4310 or Focus 2 for all-day work at a desk, Voyager Free 60 for listening and stereo, Voyager Surround for travel with an emphasis on looks and music.
The "Check" and "Consider another model" cards come from the experience of the atlantis team.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the Legend 50 and the Legend 50-M?
The box contents are identical, charging case and BT700 adapter included. What differs is the certification: Zoom for AT9M9AA#ABB, Microsoft Teams for AJ8V4AA#ABB. The choice follows the customer's platform.
Does the headset last a whole day of calling?
The headset alone lasts up to 10 hours of talk time. The charging case in the box adds up to 20 more, so up to 30 in total. The user does have to keep the case with them, otherwise the limit is ten hours.
Can the Legend 50 be rested in the Office Voyager desk base?
Yes, but that is two line items. The base AW6U1AA#AC3 and the Legend 50 adapter AW6U5AA#AC3. Without the adapter the headset does not fit the base.
Does the headset have active noise cancelling?
Not in the sense used for over-ear headphones. The cancelling works on the microphone side, that is for the far end, using NoiseBlockAI and WindSmart against wind. What the user hears is not actively cancelled.
Does the headset work on Windows 10?
This series supports Windows 11, macOS, Android and iOS. Windows 10 is not on the list, unlike on the other Voyager ranges.
