HP Poly Voyager Focus 2 UC On-Ear Bluetooth Headset with BT700 USB-A Adapter No Charge Stand 213726-01

Key Features

• Standard UC firmware, and there is NO charging stand in this box. The stand version of the same headset is 213727-01.
• On-ear, not over-ear. HP's own specification tables give the headphone type as on-ear on all three Voyager Focus 2 part numbers, and Poly's marketing copy never uses the word over-ear at all.
• Bluetooth v5.1 Class 1, with a stated range of up to 50 m or 164 ft. The 300 ft figure on the shared datasheet belongs to the Voyager Focus 2 Office, a different product.
• Digital hybrid active noise cancelling in the earcups, using two digital MEMS microphones with two analog ECM microphones, switchable off, low or high.
• Separate noise cancelling on the microphone side, through the discrete boom with Acoustic Fence. That is what the far end hears, and it is a different feature from ANC.
• Smart sensors answer the call when you put the headset on, mute when you take it off, then pause and resume music.
• Rotate the boom up to mute and down to unmute. The boom can be worn on either side and the stereo channels follow it.
• Two LED online indicators on the speaker housing show colleagues that you are in a call.
• Multipoint: connected to two devices at once, and it remembers up to eight.
• SoundGuard DIGITAL limits levels to 102 dBSPL and holds the daily time-weighted average below 85 dBA.
• Charged by Micro USB cable, not USB-C. Two hours for a full charge of the 560 mAh cell.
• Two-year limited warranty.

What separates it

Two things separate the three Voyager Focus 2 part numbers we list, and this one sits on the near side of both. It is the standard UC build rather than the Microsoft Teams certified one, and it has NO charging stand. Check that second point before ordering, because the stand is what most product photography for this family shows and a headset arriving without one is the most predictable return on this range. The same UC headset with a stand is 213727-01. The Teams certified headset with a stand is 77Y87AA. The headset itself, the BT700 USB-A adapter, the Micro USB cable and the travel pouch are common to all three.

On-ear, not over-ear

Our live titles on this range say over-ear and that is wrong. HP's own specification tables give the headphone type as on-ear on all three part numbers, two-passed on each, and manufacturer data republished elsewhere gives the earpiece design as on-ear as well. Poly's own marketing copy never uses the words over-ear or over-the-ear anywhere; it says ultra-comfortable headband with a super-cushioned sling and plush ear cushions, and the datasheet carries no form-factor row at all. On-ear means the cushion rests on the ear rather than enclosing it. That is a genuine comfort and isolation difference over a long shift, and it is exactly the kind of expectation that generates a return when a listing gets it wrong.

Two noise systems

There are two separate noise-cancelling systems here and they are routinely conflated. The earcup side is what the wearer hears: digital hybrid ANC built on two digital MEMS microphones together with two analog ECM microphones, with three user settings of off, low and high selected on the headset itself. The microphone side is what the far end hears: a discrete noise-cancelling boom using Acoustic Fence, which HP describes plainly as noise reduction on outgoing voice audio. They share one four-microphone array but they solve opposite problems. Turning ANC off does not stop your colleagues hearing your office, and Acoustic Fence does nothing about the open-plan noise reaching your own ears.

Battery, with conditions

The headline number on this headset is 25 hours of talk time and it should never be quoted bare, because it is conditional twice over. HP's own string qualifies it as ANC off AND the online indicator off, and HP footnotes that the second of those needs a setting change through Poly Lens. Out of the box, at default settings, talk time is up to 18 hours with ANC off and up to 16 hours with ANC on. Listening to music gives up to 40 hours with ANC off and up to 24 hours with ANC on, and standby runs up to 30 days. The cell is 560 mAh lithium-ion and a full charge takes two hours. Every one of those figures is an up-to figure at HP's own test conditions.

No charge stand

There is no charging stand in this box and that is the main thing to settle before ordering. The five items HP lists are the headset, a Micro USB charging cable, the BT700 Bluetooth USB adapter, a travel pouch and a quick start guide. Charging is done by plugging the Micro USB cable into the headset, which is entirely workable and is what most travelling users do anyway, but it means the headset has no home position on the desk. In practice that is the difference between a headset that is charged every morning and one that is flat by Thursday afternoon. If the headset lives at a fixed desk, price 213727-01 instead; if it lives in a bag, this is the right part number and the cheaper one.

Adapter and pairing

The BT700 Bluetooth USB adapter in the box is USB-A, not USB-C. That matters because USB-C twins of these headsets exist on adjacent part numbers and the boxes look alike. Poly's user guide describes the adapter as providing the best connection, softphone functionality and acoustic sound quality, which is the honest framing: the headset also pairs natively to a phone or a laptop over ordinary Bluetooth, so the adapter is the full-feature path rather than a requirement. Multipoint keeps two devices connected at once and the headset remembers up to eight, so a laptop and a mobile can both stay paired. Poly publishes Bluetooth profiles only - A2DP, AVRCP, HSP and HFP - and no codec list at all.

Where it fits

Poly recommends this headset for professionals on calls all day in noisy home or office environments, and the specification supports that reading: stereo on both ears, a boom microphone rather than an in-line one, three levels of ANC and hearing protection that holds the daily average below 85 dBA. Buy it where somebody wears a headset for hours rather than for a stand-up. Do not buy it where the user needs one ear free for the room, because this is a binaural design. And settle the firmware variant against the platform before ordering: Teams firmware is the wrong load for a non-Teams softphone, and a UC build in a Teams estate gives up the certified behaviour.

Barcode Printer Shop lists each Voyager Focus 2 part number separately, because the charging stand and the firmware variant are what separate them and neither is visible in a photograph. Contact us to learn more or secure this solution for your business today.
