what's up? Danny Hyasaka with Call One, Inc helping people
do their business better an I'm super excited
because we got this. that is the Poly Blackwire 8225 and this thing
has active noise canceling speakers the microphone has
that acoustic fence technology so do we have
a headset that will finally block out a barking dog stay tuned all right so
let's take a look inside the box all right so we have the box
here let's take a look at what you get with the Poly
Blackwire 8225 all right so there's the
headset in there you get that stuff about that stuff and then that's it
there it is that's all she wrote
all right so now let's take a look inside all right so now the case
is like neoprene so let's take a look in here all right so you have this so
let's take a look at what you got here it's a quick start guide
it's a setup basically they're telling you to download plantronics hub
which I strongly recommend it does have anc
active noise canceling and it has the ability to
adjust depending on the noise levels within the office space so
a recommendation mid for office and high for loud environments
so we'll mess with that and so one of the
things you know that I that i've talked about in other in previous videos is
cable length and so this particular cable
is like 7.2 feet long which is kind of nice
right it's kind of nice to have a longer cable
because it allows you to sort of connect your tower whether it's
close to you or away from you I happen to have received the usbc
variant but they are available in usba you've got your answer hang up volume up
down your mute button and then there's your
active noise canceling control right there
all right and then here's the speakers it does have
a left and a right and you do see that they swivel
for easier storage and then these ear cushions because somebody was asking
the other day about this they do swivel all around
and it's super comfortable right so this is a very comfortable headset
but you know what I'm gonna do next plug it in
I'm gonna update any firmware that needs to be updated or software that needs to
be updated and then we're gonna play around with
this thing because i'm super excited to test this microphone
all right so stay tuned all right so I'm back so I plugged the
headset in it was usbc so my laptop supports usbc so I just plugged directly
into the laptop let's do a little quick
mute test so here's the mute button
all right so you get a little voice prompt that says mute on and then mute
off when you do that so anyway I'm going to
adjust this
make sure the mic is positioned properly and you can wear it
on the right or left side so even though the ear cups say L R you
know left right um you can flip it around
active noise canceling so again you have mid and high all right so there it is so
you got a anc off mid or high but before we do all
that I did make sure that the plantronics hub
software was up to date I ensured that the
headset firmware was up to date and our video guru guy
Justin can kind of show you all the available
sort of settings that are in plantronics hub when you download it
for the poly blackwire 8225 and they can just
show you on the screen here all again different settings
that you can adjust via plantronics hub all right but what you want to know is
how does this thing sound all right let's do that
all right so we're back so I'm set at 50 right now again because that
normally is super loud when we're testing these headsets and so
that's what we're going to do we're going to go ahead and go up to that to
50. all right so test test one two test test
one two so this is the audio that you're hearing from the
Poly Blackwire 8225. but you know since this is supposed to
have acoustic fence technology I'm gonna go louder why not let's let's
let's go extreme all right so they were at 65
and that's really loud
okay so that's really really loud I don't know if
this does justice to how flipping loud that volume is you know it's even waking
up my dog down here all right so hold on I'm gonna mute that
all right so whoo all right so that was really loud
I'm gonna be very very interested in going back and listening to that audio
to see how well this microphone blocked it out. the
other thing I wanted to do was see if we're gonna test the blender and
we're gonna try to get my dog to bark I tried to get him to bark earlier he
wouldn't bark for anything so we'll see what we can do
but for now that's what you got stay tuned for
upcoming videos where we're gonna test the blender
and hopefully we can get my dog to bark so
I just wanted to show that I downloaded a new app to
measure the decibel level so we just did some tests
and so this is what I would normally be listening tv
the volume level that I would be listening to tv at right
and I believe that's like at a 20. yeah and so when we do some of the mic tests
that we've done in the past we raised that volume all the way up to
50.
and then what we did just now for this particular headset the black the poly
black wire 82 25 we went all the way up to 80.
so that's really loud right now but anyway so again I'm just testing the uh
the decibel level there all right just wanted to show that all right if
you like this type of video don't forget to like
