One of the things I struggle with is the reality of over the ear versus in the ear headsets. I have considered many times. I don’t always like the in-the-ear headsets. Although the Voyager 5200 UC fits snugly in my ear and because it wraps around the ear, I don’t feel like it is going to fall out of my ear. I have a VOIP phone (at work) and two cell phones. I have the Voyager connected to my work computer. I know, as someone that has many times talked to someone, that I thought was talking to me, because of hidden earbuds, I suspect that will happen. But the Voyagers fit nicely and free you from your desk.
A call come in, you can quickly switch to the call. Currently, I’ve used the device in the following:
1. Zoom meeting
2. Webex
3. Jabba Call
It works exceptionally well in all four. Reasonable noise-canceling abilities also. The setup is straightforward, and you don’t have to install software on your computer. Just plug in the paired USB dongle and away you go. One thing that I haven’t tried yet but is going to happen is talking on the phone when the other phone rings. I have been on my work phone, and when I got a second call, I was quickly able to put the first call on hold and answer the second.
Overall I am very impressed with the Polycom Voyager 5200 UC. It fits in my ear well, and the overall sound quality is very good. If you are in the market for a multipurpose small earbud based voice system, this one is a good addition to your arsenal.
It comes with a great small case for carrying.
Overall my rating for the Polycom Voyager 5200 UC is an 8 of 10.

Use my smartphone rarely – only photos + calling/answering calls. Ear headsets – only for listening music is player during my trips for about 7-10 times a year.
I understand that it is what works for you!
Nice photos, I don’t use my cell phone a lot except to take photos or answer phone calls. I have other things to do.
like, create magnificent drawings!!!
Thanks Pam!
Thanks again Doc, nice of you to say…
nice of you to share them reminds me of how poor my drawing skills are, I guess I am the Salieri of Virily!
As I have said I am not much for upgrades. Very informative post though. I made a mistake I do hold the phone to my ear
Yes, I do recall you saying that before. I am an outlier I suspect on Virily.
Very interesting post. I am not so active as to need headphones.
i understand that, although, they are very useful when you get a call while on your walk!
Good review. I don’t use my cell phone often enough to use ear buds. In fact, I still have a basic flip phone. 🙂
whatever does the job!
Great review but I do not use the ear buds. Not as active as most people I suppose.
THese re the first ear buds I’ve liked honestly.
My answer to your question is Yes
thanks – so you don’t ever use an ear bud?
