It can also be locked with a tap so it doesn’t accidentally register input when it’s in your pocket. More than that, the touch screen offers music playback controls, volume toggles, ANC/Ambient mode access, and even Bluetooth device management. Rather than rely on colored LEDs like most cases, the small screen shows battery levels for the case and earphones with easy-to-read meters. The case is larger than most at 1.4 by 2.8 by 2.1 inches (HWD), but that’s because it has a 1.4-inch color touch screen on the top surface. The big difference between the Poly Voyager Free 60+ and the Free 60 (and nearly all other true wireless earphones) is the touch-screen charging case you get with the Free 60+, which commands a $100 premium. The earpieces have an IP54 rating, making them resistant to dust and splashes but not fully waterproof. You can use both earpieces at the same time for stereo music playback, or either one by itself in a mono configuration for calls. The good news is that I didn’t accidentally trigger them when I adjusted the earpieces. I couldn’t reliably trigger them and eventually ignored them. The buttons were reliable in testing, but I found the touch strips to be unresponsive. A quick press plays/pauses music and accepts calls, a two-second press brings up your phone’s voice assistant, and a four-second press puts the earphones into pairing mode.īoth earpieces work the same way by default, though you can configure the touch strips to navigate tracks via the Poly Lens app. There's also a single multifunction button on the side of each stem. You use the touch strips to adjust volume, mute/unmute calls, and toggle between ANC and Ambient listening modes. Textured strips run partially down one side of the stems to identify the touch control area. ![]() The earpieces are mostly matte black plastic with metallic gray microphone grilles on the front-facing side of the stems. Two colorways are available: Carbon Black or White Sand. Three pairs of silicone eartips in different sizes are included. The shape enables a comfortable, secure fit that’s easy to adjust. It uses a ball-and-stem design similar to the second-gen Apple AirPods Pro ($249), with short tubes extending from bulbous bodies. Poly pitches them as an inconspicuous way to take calls at the office. It stands in for those larger headsets with dedicated boom mics during the day and transitions to media buds for use outside the office after hours. ![]() The Voyager Free 60+ is meant to do double duty. Ultimately, more conventional Bluetooth headsets like the Poly Voyager Focus UC ($299.95) are likely to serve you better both in and out of the office. Critically, however, the mics fall short of competing enterprise headsets, the noise cancellation is only partially effective, and the touch-screen case brings dubious value to the high cost. To achieve these goals, the headset offers active noise cancellation (ANC), multipoint connectivity, excellent battery life, and a touch-enabled charging case. The $329.95 Poly Voyager Free 60+ aims to serve as both your business headset during the day as well as your true wireless earphones for music and other media when you're off the clock. Few devices that claim to do it all actually live up to that selling point. ![]()
