Poly Blackwire 5210 Monaural USB-C Headset

The Poly Blackwire 5210 Monaural USB-C Headset is the perfect choice for professionals who require superior sound quality and exceptional comfort throughout busy workdays. This versatile headset blends ergonomic design with advanced audio technology and flexible connectivity, delivering clear calls, all-day wearability, and reliable performance across a range of devices and collaboration platforms. With a single-ear form factor, it keeps one ear free for situational awareness while maintaining a sharp focus on calls, meetings, and multimedia tasks. Whether you’re coordinating with teammates, speaking with customers, or joining back-to-back video conferences, the Blackwire 5210 is engineered to keep you productive and comfortable from dawn to close of business.

• All-day comfort with an ergonomic, lightweight mono-ear design: The Blackwire 5210 is built for extended wear with a flexible headband, soft leatherette ear cushion, and a balanced weight that minimizes fatigue. The mono-ear configuration allows you to stay aware of your surroundings while maintaining excellent call quality, making it ideal for open-plan offices, remote work setups, and busy reception environments.
• Crystal-clear audio and a noise-canceling microphone: Experience natural-sounding conversations with high-fidelity audio for yourself and your callers. The noise-canceling microphone reduces background chatter and environmental noise, so your voice comes through clearly during important calls, conference meetings, and VOIP sessions. The headset supports wideband audio for rich, more lifelike conversations and reduces muffled or distant-sounding speech.
• Versatile connectivity for universal compatibility: The Blackwire 5210 offers USB-C wired connectivity, a 3.5 mm analog plug, and a USB-C to USB-A adapter for maximum device compatibility. This means you can pair it with modern USB-C laptops and tablets, traditional USB-A desktops, and devices with a standard 3.5 mm headset jack. It’s an ideal choice for professionals who use multiple workstations, conference rooms, or BYOD devices across Windows, macOS, and compatible UC platforms.
• Inline controls for effortless call management: Built directly into the headset cable, the inline controls let you answer or end calls, mute the microphone, and adjust volume without fumbling through software. This intuitive interface helps you stay focused on the conversation and reduces disruption during back-to-back meetings or quick follow-up messages.
• Durable, reliable design with simple maintenance: The Blackwire 5210 is designed to withstand daily use in demanding environments. Its sturdy construction, reinforced cables, and easy-to-clean materials ensure long-lasting performance and minimal downtime. The single-ear design also simplifies storage and travel, while providing flexibility for individuals who need to stay aware of their surroundings during calls.
