Poly Voyager Focus 2 UC VS. Orosound Tilde Pro Wireless Headphones - LIVE MIC TEST!

[@trevorvoughn7201]

Wow the noise reduction and mic on the Orosound Tilde Pro is amazing...it sounds more "closer" to your mic for the video

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Hi Trevor, thanks for watching. Both are great headsets but the Tilde Pro definitely has a more natural sound on the mic.

[@hollygrahn7654]

Thank You for this. The microphone on the Orosound sounds much better, however; the noise cancelling on the Poly was the best. I need the best noise cancellation. So I appreciate this.

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Thanks for watching :)

[@claudiorosa3902]

Very good analysis! Congratulatios!

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Thanks Claudio!

[@TechOutAdam]

What do ya'll think about the Jabra Evolve2 75 that just came out?! I think it'll destroy both of these! I'm so glad they finally updated the Evolve 75.

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Hey Adam, the Evolve2 75 looks great but we will see how it performs once we get our hands on them. It looks like the Evolve2 75 will be a mix of the Evolve 75, Evolve2 65 and Evolve2 85.

[@elizabethperez1484]

Hey Adam I’m always seeing comments from you in every video I watch. Do you happen to know when the Logitech True Zone Earbuds are coming out? Much respect. Liz

[@automax8013]

Stay away from Jabra and evolve2 75. If you use the microphone boom to mute by flipping up and down, eventually your microphone will be dead. Then you'll have to pay shipping for Jabra RMA and wait several weeks to receive a replacement. Terrible experience with this company.

[@jacksonk6293]

I'm trying to look for a plantronics dect headset that connects to a computer, but without using the wireless receiver some of the models have. This is due to potentially losing the small receivers and the cost to replace is about as much as the headset itself. Our office uses the savi 8200 series and connects via usb cord to a laptop, but they are impossible to find now and have been back-ordered since summer. Do you have any recommendations?

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Hi Jackson, unfortunately there's no DECT headsets that don't use a USB receiver or charging base. The back orders have been crazy on a number of different headsets, this being one of them. We may have a few alternative options for you to consider. Email us at [e-mail] or call at 1-800-683-5715 and an Advisor can help.

[@gabrielxpto]

It seems that the Focus 2 has a fixed mic (only rotates). Is it possible to bend it to change the distance from the mouth? Or just rotate it?

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Hi Gabriel, you can only rotate the speaker to adjust the microphone closer or further away from your mouth, it's not bendable unfortunately.

[@elizabethperez1484]

I wish you’d compare with cable and without cable in the event that we forget to charge and how would they both sound - better or worse.

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Hi Elizabeth, we missed that! check out the video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXy3kHltarmnecU and go to about 10:55 to hear the sound with the cable plugged in for the Tilde Pro.

[@hausdr1888]

When you do Mic Test - how do record sound ? If one of the users of same Poly or Orosound device repeats similar test - will that person get similar results ? I tried to repeat your mic test. Do you just use Standard Windows Voice Recorder app ? Or instead you call someone, or someone calls you via Teams or Skype - and you record the voice ? I am asking, because I found that when I am in Teams call - Voyager Focus 2 UC blocks noise as I see in your video - very impressive, teams test call recording shows no background noise recorded, only my talk or silence when I did not talk. However, if I use standard Windows voice recorder app - about 30% of noise gets through. When I listen to recording - I hear not only my voice, but significant amount of noise got recorded too. I wonder if that is expected behavior of Voyager Focus 2 UC - to block almost all noise only during teams or skype call, and block only about 60-70% of noise if I use other app like standard Windows Voice Recorder ?

[@elizabethperez1484]

It may be the Teams feature blocking the sound in settings.

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Hi Haus, we record our mic tests with Windows voice recorder. When you use Teams or Zoom for example, they have AI noise canceling software built in to reduce the background noise.

[@jsfbay1]

I wish you would consider audio level matching for the different microphones please? It is hard to make a true comparison when the level differences are significant. The Orosound Is a little softer and the highs are not as crisp as the Poly. So I found it difficult to compare. They were both excellent though.

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Hi Jeff, how do you mean on matching the audio levels? Are you saying to keep the mic volumes the same across all tests?

[@jsfbay1]

Also, please refresh our memories; the Poly Voyager uses micro USB, but what connector does the Tilde Pro have? Also, to what do you attribute the range difference? Does Bluetooth 5.1 have a stronger signal, is it just advertising fluff to rate the Poly higher, or what? Thanks, and as I said in a previous comment, they both sound and look great to me. Oh, one last question: does the Tilde Pro have any kind of busy light?

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

The Tilde Pro uses USB-C and to be up front we really have no idea on why it goes further. Maybe a difference in the chips Orosound uses. Also, yes the Tilde Pro has a busy light on the mic and on the outside of both speakers.

[@salalucas]

maybe you can do a test Orosound Tilde Pro vs Logitech Zone Wireless Plus?

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

We will add that to the list :)

[@jsfbay1]

When I turn on ANC on the Poly Voyager Focus 2 in a quiet room, I hear a very pronounced amount of hiss/white noise. Is this normal? I'm guessing if you're in a noisy room, you won't notice the hiss, but I thought it was really weird and distracting :-(

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Hi Jeff, I believe that's normal and as you mentioned if you were in a noisy room, you probably wouldn't notice it.

[@thesicksix405]

Seems like your voice on the Orosound is warmer! The Poly seems to be able to kill noise a bit better but when it does there is white noise!

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Spot on

[@thesicksix405]

@@HeadsetAdvisor I ordered the Poly and just received it today! I work for one of the major cell phone companies with a position working from home! I was using a Jabra USB wired headset and it was fine but I could not have anything on in the background nor could I move around! This headset is absolutely amazing! I purchased the Jabra Evolve2 85 and returned it because it was not good at all! This Poly is outstanding!

[@amcy05]

How many Bluetooth devices can each headset connect to?

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Both allow you to switch between two audio devices at a time but recognize up to 8 connections.

[@deimono8984]

Do you ship to the Philippines?

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

At this current time we unfortunately don't, but who knows if that will change in the near future. If you're interestd in the Tilde Pro, we can introduce you to a different partner that's local who can ship to you. Feel free to email us at [e-mail]

[@rafael.s.amaral]

@@HeadsetAdvisor Please. Brazil!

[@Batmanstang]

From the video, the Poly has better mic noise reduction and is over $100 cheaper than the orosound.

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Thanks for sharing your pick

[@TBi-News]

I think, the Tilde Pro is better in cancelling the noise and shows good sound.

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Hi Thomas, thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts :)

[@deimossec8]

Disagree, you can hear the dogs barking a little with the Tilde Pro, that didn't happen with Focus 2

[@jerryb6728]

Is it me or the poly mic is better with noise cancellation..even though most of you guys are saying the orosound is better

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

🤷‍♂️ seems like most people are saying Orosound, but we've found over the years audio to be subjective depending whose listening.

[@brittanylevinson741]

Best barking dog wireless headset?

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Tilde Pro will work as good as possible but not sure how well against 19 dogs.

[@AndriiVozniak]

Will a 1st-gen Focus's charging stand work for a 2-nd gen Focus?

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Hi Andrii, unfortunately it won’t.

[@crisr6007]

One question: Which headset isolates your ears from outside noises (so that you are not distracted by other sounds in the room) best? Also: Thank you for this one, this the comparison we were all looking for ;)

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Hi Cris, the Tilde Pro C Plus would be the better of the two in that aspect. Glad you liked it :D

[@crisr6007]

@@HeadsetAdvisor Are the differences marginal or notable (between the two models) in regards to isolating outside noises for the one who wears the headset?

[@maikeru_pk]

The timbre of the voice is better in Orosound but the mute of the environment is better in the Focus 2 ... But I would choose Poly because of its design and comfort :) ps. you spoke too loudly and the Focus crackled

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Thanks for watching :)

[@douglasruopp8794]

Is it me or do they both sound crappie

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

We’ll let you be the judge of that. What are you comparing the audio against?

[@ZhenyaTyoma]

it is insane to have microphone on right hand side and no option to turn it around like most of Poly may do. And even worse to have USB cable on the same right hand side as most use mouse by right hand. Who these engineers design this for? like my working Jabra Evolve 75. USB adapter it is another possibility for vendors to squeeze out more coins from buyers as you can't pop out and have an option without this not worth $100 adapter. As most people use already laptops at work and all do have BT. Removing microphone it is something what I love over here.

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts! Fair point on the microphone not being able to switch from right to left, that is one adjustment we'd like to see from Orosound in the futre, but not a dealbreaker for most. Also, most work headset we've tested have the USB port on the right side and the USB Dongle atleast in the US is only $50USD, so very affordable in comparison to other brands. The USB Dongle may seem like it's a play to get more money from you but it's actually not true. The added USB Dongle gives improved audio, more stable connectivity and advanced features in certain cases vs connecting directly to a computer via Bluetooth.

[@ZhenyaTyoma]

@@HeadsetAdvisor Strangely working Android KZbin App, answered-answered at night, opened to correct errors and there is nothing right here. Let get it again from my memory. thank you for your answer. 1. Jabra Link 380. For the UK on our official web site it costs £118.80. So, I afraid for costly Jabra Evolve 2 85 instead of £529.20 we might deduct this cost. As there is no option without them unfortunately. 2. Quite disagree with statement about distance, quality and reliability. Waited my Jabra Link before someone found it out to test. Tested against internal BT 5 Class 1 on Dell Latitude 7200 2-in-1. And can confidently confirm. a. there is no difference in distance. At the same place of our house, sound slightly drops and distortion appears for both connections. b. There is no and can't be difference in quality, as far as both use HFP 1.6 I assume that supports wideband sound. For two days I tried to persuade myself that this adapter is necessary, and finally dropped it into desktop drawer. this USB dongle has advantage in case to connect to Desktop but not for a laptop. And yes, it doesn't install any BT drivers but ordinary SoundAdapter appears in the system. 3. Very tricky to switch over between corded(USB) connection and wireless with this adapter. As when your call starts soon, there is not 100% sure it will work ether and need to dance around all the time. 4. this adapter doesn't produce any Stereo sound. as I believe, there is no other profiles there. So this limits its use for calls only and not for anything else.

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

@@ZhenyaTyoma I'm a bit confused because you're talking about a Jabra product, but in this video it's an Orosound and Poly headset. The USB Dongle we referred to is from Orosound which is only $50 USD. Also, I understand your personal tests seem fine without the Dongle, and that's also the case for some other customers as well. That being said from experience of talking with customers the last 3 decades, there's a wide use of different models of laptops/computers with all different specifications that will not operate consistenly across the board with Bluetooth headsets unfortunately. If you can get away without using the USB Dongle, then great! But this is why the USB Dongle is necessary for many people, and if you use apps like Teams, Zoom, RingCentral etc.. no matter which Bluetooth headset you have, if you don't use the Dongle, you will not get advanced features like being able to answer/end away from the computer or seeing your mic is muted during a meeting.

[@ZhenyaTyoma]

@@HeadsetAdvisor Poly BT700 Starting At £95.95 it is another adapter

[@ZhenyaTyoma]

continuing talk about Adapter vs BT compared on your video kzbin.info/www/bejne/iV6coGR-gauZptU there is a very visible out of sync video and sound with an adapter. And BT connection copes this very well. So, adapter went into drawer again indefinitely.
