@@HeadsetAdvisor as a truck driver the industry standard has been the blue parrot, but they are large and go over your head. I switched to the 5200 about 4 years back and got a new one every year (as they got pretty beat up). The low rumble of the truck engine and the road noise in cabin as well as the engine noise when outside the cab was never an issue for the 5200. As of about 2 years ago however, the 5200 (as a product) completely lost its functionality in my line of work. I bought 6 new ones and all of them performed the same out of the box. Callers on the other end complain of your voice fading in and out as well as garbled speech while on a call and driving down the road. I wish when poly was formed they didn't change the "magic recipe" - but it seems they have. Some of the noises the 5200 used to filter out were - A running semi truck engine while standing outside in front of the truck, Multiple trucks driving past you in a busy port while outside a truck, Road noise from a semi truck while in the cabin and engine noise while inside the cabin. Now, trying to find a headset has been a challenge. I went backwards to the Plantronics Legend and it has done the noise canceling job flawlessly. Though this headset is nearing its end of life and i'm looking to either replace it with another legend (though i see the reviews online parrot the issues with the newer 5200) or try something else. Any recommendations? You probably don't have a semi truck so you may not understand the issues with the 5200 that i'm referring to. If you ever want to expand your headset reviews to professional drivers, let me know and we can collaborate.
Your final evaluation in the end got me really confused, for me the Poly performed much better than the BH71 with the noise cancellation. Guess different people different ears.
Thanks for watching! Over the years we've learned sound is very subjective and everyone seems to have a conflicting opinion, but as more comments come in you typically get a good idea of the winner :)
I used a voyager for 2 years and recently got the bh71. When Im not talking the bh71 essentially mutes everything. When I'm speaking the other person can hear some background noise but it's very low. Both the voyager and bh71 are excellent
I have used the 5200 for about 2 years now for teaching English convo online. It works really well and is starting to fail, I’m assuming some damage from my 3 yo playing with it. I have classes at indoor play rooms on the weekends and have had kids nearby having a full blown tantrum (not mine) and my student couldn’t hear it at all, we were both shocked. I’m not buying it again mainly because my ears are *tiny.* Even without wearing my glasses, I have to readjust often. It has only fallen off a couple of times when cleaning and talking to my sister over Messenger. If you don’t have tiny ears, this is a very comfortable headset. I tend to have mine at full volume for classes so the tiny buttons aren’t an issue. IMO, the mic test for the BH71 didn’t seem to block as much background noise as the 5200 which is a bummer for me because that would be a nice option for my tiny ears
Poly Voyager 5200 is the obvious winner. Been using it for over 4 years. The downside is you can expect a performance expectancy max of up to 2 years before getting a new one.
The Voyager 5200 charge case can be connected with micro USB, whereas the BH71 has to be in the case and connected via USB-C for it to charge. You can't charge from the headset itself on the BH71.
I've had the "Plantronics" for years works great until they don't. Tried 2 Ploy 5200, nobody can hear me, drops out in mid-sentence, don't believe me call yourself and leave a voicemail. Poly is now crap in my book.
5200 works incredible... while it works. I've had 2 of them and it's simply perfect, nobody believes I'm conferencing in the plant shopfloor, it filters everything, but this magic only lasts 1 year, after that the mics work very bad. It's a shame how a remarkable product becomes a trash so easily 😢
Exactly the same experience. My current copy stopped charging from the case. When I conference in Teams my colleges say my voice is intermittent. If i put my arm near the ear the Poly is in, my voice becomes intermittent too.
Voyager 5200: It has a P2i nano-coating that repels moisture, sweat, and dust, so you can wear it in light rain (nothing more than light rain). Yealink BH71: not water resistant and has no official IP rating.
No it doesn’t. I just returned a Jabra Talk 65 to go back to Poly Voyager 5200 it’s in an untouchable league of its own that’s why it still has a micro USB

Thanks folks. For noise cancellation, Poly definitely won. But when it comes to smooth functioning of buttons, it seems like Yealink is better. Either of them are good.

Definitely poly over the BH 71 for noise cancelation...
This is an easy one. Poly Voyager 5200.
Thanks for your vote :)
Why would anyone say the bh71 had better noise cancelling? Was she paid to say that. Didn't she even listen to the video?

Really like the Yealink design esp the size and volume control dial but, the voyager seemed to cancel out background noise better!
Thanks for watching 🙂
The Voyager 5200 handled the background noise suppression with significantly less impact on the naturalness of the sound of the voice.
Thanks for watching!
Poly actually isolated much more noise than the other one , much more
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Yeah, especially the blender which is the type of sound that needs it most on calls.

Poly Voyager 5200 is the obvious winner. Been using it for over 4 years. The downside is you can expect a performance expectancy max of up to 2 years before getting a new one.
Since Plantronics was acquired from HP we're also hearing the same feedback about the longevity of the Voyager 5200 from many customers.
True, two years tops!😮
Does Yeahlink BH71 has phone calls voice answer/ignore?
Not at this time but Yealink's aware of this request so I'd imagine they will add this feature to this model or a new model at some point.
I'm wondering about charging. Do I have to use the case or can I plug it into a usb-C charger?
The Voyager 5200 charge case can be connected with micro USB, whereas the BH71 has to be in the case and connected via USB-C for it to charge. You can't charge from the headset itself on the BH71.
Voyager 5200 had the clearest and richest sound under all circumstances IMO. I don't have either, so it's an unbiased opinion.

Is it both water and sweat-resistant? Can you run with it?
Voyager 5200: It has a P2i nano-coating that repels moisture, sweat, and dust, so you can wear it in light rain (nothing more than light rain).
Yealink BH71: not water resistant and has no official IP rating.
I've gone running with the Poly and even accidentally washed it and still worked.
Any $50 range LOUD volume?
None we're aware of at that price range in this form factor.
