Poly Voyager Focus UC B825 Wireless Headset USB-C
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Poly Voyager Focus UC B825 Wireless ANC Headset USB-C (211710-101) - Local Warranty
Poly Voyager Focus UC B825 Wireless ANC Headset — Full Datasheet and Specifications
The Voyager Focus UC (B825) is a stereo (dual-ear) Bluetooth headset with switchable active noise cancelling and a precision-tuned triple-microphone system, built for professionals who need to concentrate and be heard in busy offices. This USB-C model ships with a Poly Bluetooth USB adapter for a dedicated wireless link to your computer, and pairs with your mobile at the same time. At 155 g with leatherette-over-memory-foam ear cushions, it is engineered for a full day of calls, meetings and music.
Switchable Active Noise Cancelling with a Physical ANC Slide Switch
Active noise cancelling is on-demand and controlled by a physical slide switch on the headset — HP's user guide confirms the headset ships with ANC on, and that sliding the switch away from “ANC” turns it off. Turn it on to shut out open-plan office noise when you need deep focus, and off to stay aware of the room. OpenMic goes further: tap the mute button off-call to hear your surroundings through the headset, with the ambient level set on the volume wheel.
Three Precision-Tuned Microphones and a Smart Boom
A three-microphone array with enhanced DSP isolates your voice from background noise so callers hear you, not the room. The smart boom can be worn on either side — the headset detects which, and swaps the left/right stereo channels and the volume and track controls to match. Dynamic Mute Alert senses when you are talking on mute and warns you, ending the most common meeting mishap in Singapore's open-plan offices.
Charges by Micro-USB — Charge Stand Available Separately
This SKU charges from the supplied micro-USB cable, which plugs into your computer or a wall charger (wall charger sold separately). A full charge takes up to two hours. HP lists the magnetic desktop charge stand as an optional accessory for this headset — if you want a docked, always-ready desk setup, choose one of the charge-stand SKUs listed in the ordering table below instead.
SoundGuard DIGITAL Hearing Protection and Smart Sensors
SoundGuard DIGITAL protects against sound levels above 118 dBA, adds anti-startle detection during calls and applies Time-Weighted Average limiting to keep average daily exposure under 85 dBA — a genuine consideration for contact-centre and all-day-calling roles. Smart sensors answer a call when you put the headset on, mute when you take it off, and pause and resume music automatically. Sensors can be disabled in Poly Lens if you prefer manual control.

Specifications are taken from the official Poly/HP Voyager Focus UC documentation. Where HP does not publish a figure for this exact model — speaker driver size, sensitivity, impedance, microphone frequency response, standby time, battery capacity and physical dimensions — we have deliberately left it out rather than estimate it.
Compatibility & Software Support
The Voyager Focus B825 connects two ways at once: over the bundled Poly Bluetooth USB adapter to your computer, and over native Bluetooth to your mobile. HP's documentation confirms the headset pairs with up to 8 devices and holds 2 connections at a time, with the USB adapter counting as one of those two.

| Computer Connection | Poly Bluetooth USB adapter (USB-C), supplied pre-paired to the headset |
| Mobile Connection | Native Bluetooth v4.1 to smartphones, tablets, Bluetooth desk phones and smart watches |
| Simultaneous Devices | 2 connections held at once from up to 8 paired devices |
| UC Softphones | The UC (B825) build is described by Poly as built for UC applications and softphones from Avaya, Cisco, IBM, Skype and more |
| Teams Button | The headset carries a Teams button — press to interact with Microsoft Teams (Teams app required) |
| Management | Poly Lens Desktop App for advanced settings, sensor behaviour and firmware updates |
A note on certification claims. We only state certifications HP publishes for this exact model. HP documents a Teams button on the Voyager Focus B825 and names the B825-M as a Microsoft Teams Certified headset in its datasheet titles. We do not claim Zoom or Google Meet certification for the B825, because HP does not state it for this model. If your deployment requires a formally Zoom- or Google Meet-certified headset, the Poly Voyager Focus 2 is the current generation and carries the newer certifications — see the FAQ below.

Current-Generation Alternative — Poly Voyager Focus 2
All six B825 SKUs are the same headset. They differ only in the Microsoft (MS/B825-M) versus UC build, the connector on the bundled Bluetooth USB adapter, and whether the magnetic charge stand is in the box. Poly ships this family with a dual part number — the legacy Plantronics number (for example 202652-103) and the HP SKU (for example 7F0J1AA) — and both are printed above where the listing carries both.

Frequently Asked Questions — Poly Voyager Focus B825
What is the difference between the Voyager Focus UC (B825) and the Voyager Focus MS (B825-M)?
The headset hardware is identical — same audio, microphones, battery, range and weight. The difference is the build and the pairing target of the bundled USB adapter. Poly describes the UC (B825) as built for UC applications and softphones from vendors such as Avaya, Cisco, IBM and Skype, while the B825-M is the Microsoft variant, which HP now names as a Microsoft Teams Certified headset. If your organisation runs Microsoft Teams as its primary calling platform, choose the MS SKU; otherwise the UC SKU is the safer general-purpose choice. This listing is the UC build — the MS (B825-M) builds are in the ordering table above.
Does this SKU come with the charging stand?
No. This SKU charges from the supplied micro-USB cable only. HP lists the magnetic desktop charge stand as an optional accessory for this headset. If you want a docked desk setup, choose one of the “with charging stand” SKUs in the ordering table above.
What is the difference between the USB-A and USB-C versions?
Only the connector on the bundled Poly Bluetooth USB adapter — the headset itself is identical. This listing is the USB-C version. Pick USB-A for older desktops, docks and desk phones, and USB-C for modern laptops without a full-size USB port. HP's current user guide for this headset covers BT600, BT600C, BT700 and BT700C adapters in both connector types, so the exact adapter model shipped can vary by production batch; if you need a specific adapter model for a standardised fleet, contact SourceIT before ordering and we will confirm current stock.
How long does the battery last, and does ANC shorten it?
Yes, ANC costs you battery. Poly rates the Voyager Focus B825 at up to 12 hours of talk time with ANC off and 10 hours with ANC on, and up to 15 hours of listening with ANC off and 12 hours with ANC on. A full charge takes up to 2 hours from either the charge stand or the micro-USB cable. For a contact-centre shift with ANC running all day, plan on a mid-shift top-up or specify the charge-stand SKU.
Do I need a Poly Lens licence or any subscription to use this headset?
No. The headset works out of the box with no licence, no subscription and no room compute. The Poly Lens Desktop App is a free download used to change settings, adjust or disable the smart sensors, and apply firmware updates. Poly Lens is optional for a single user but worth deploying if you are managing a fleet.
Is the Voyager Focus B825 still current, or should I buy the Voyager Focus 2?
The B825 is the earlier generation. HP's Singapore Poly range page now lists the Voyager Focus 2 under the Voyager Focus series, and there is no longer a B825 product page on hp.com/sg-en, though HP still publishes the B825 user guide and support pages. Buy the B825 if you are matching an existing fleet, standardising on a proven model, or need the specific part number for a tender. Choose the Voyager Focus 2 if you want the current generation with Poly's newer platform certifications and USB-C/USB-A adapter in one box. SourceIT stocks both — talk to us if you are not sure which fits your rollout.
Does this headset come with a Singapore warranty and a GST invoice?
Yes. Every Poly Voyager Focus B825 sold by SourceIT comes with local Singapore warranty and a GST invoice.
