The Engage 55 also offers the best level of security, which makes it the ideal headset for those working across all industries, remotely or otherwise.

Virtual fatigue 

The average UC user spends more time on calls than ever. Statistics show annual Zoom meeting minutes increased by 3,300 percent in 2020-21 and there was a 645 percent increase in active MS Teams users within the same time frame. Research also found a person’s credibility in virtual calls relies on the audio quality; the poorer the quality, the less credible the individual is.

When we experience poor quality audio online, our brain strains to figure out what is being said. If this is done continuously, energy and alertness is drained, which impacts wellbeing and productivity. Getting the online experience right is therefore extremely important to ensuring employees’ do not suffer from virtual fatigue.   

Crystal clear conversations

With virtual meetings becoming the standard for businesses, it’s more crucial than ever for employees to be heard and be able to speak freely with their co-workers or customers without being interrupted or having their voices muffled. The Jabra Engage 55 has a noise-canceling and voice-enhancing microphone that removes background sounds while keeping the speaker’s voice crystal clear for more focused conversation experiences.

With employees being in calls for hours every day, it’s important to protect their hearing. Therefore, Engage 55 also offers additional hearing protection benefits. Jabra SafeTone 2.0 provides speech level normalization that allows users to adjust the volume level of incoming calls according to their preferences. The headset also has intelligent acoustic shock protection, which reduces potentially harmful noise levels without affecting the audio quality.

And, it has PeakStop at 105 dB, the proactive removal of sudden loud sounds and BalancedVoice, in which incoming sound is processed to be clearer without increasing the level.

Maximum security 

The trend of remote working makes companies more vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Therefore, security is vital. Cybercrime rises due to eavesdropping and the data breaches this causes, and there is the growing importance of safeguarding client discussions, which often involve sensitive information.

The Engage 55 includes additional features that make it a safe professional wireless headset. The connection between the wireless adapter and the headset is certified to the highest DECT Security – Level C – making it ultra-secure. It also has additional FIPS military-grade 256-bit encryption algorithms to effectively prevent eavesdropping on conversations.

For added mobility, the Engage 55 features a long wireless range. With a range of up to 150 meters/490 feet, the Engage 55 gives employees the freedom to move around their home or office work environments without compromising call quality. The headset comes with a link 400 USB DECT adapter that is bigger and able to stay securely in place when plugged in.

The lightweight design ensures a personalized fit with adaptable ear cups suited for all-day comfort. There is a choice in wearing styles with stereo, mono and convertible styles.

To save any issues with setting up, the headset comes pre-paired out of the box with a visible status light, which indicates to your surrounding if you’re busy and don’t want to be disturbed. The new Engage headset works with all leading Unified Communications and Contact Center platforms, including MS Teams, Zoom, Cisco, Unify, Amazon Chime, Google Meet, Avaya, Unify and Alcatel Lucent.
