PLAN_HW520Poly EncorePro 520 Binaural NC Headset
The Poly EncorePro 520 is the binaural version of the re-imagined EncorePro 510 design — covering both ears to give agents greater focus and concentration by blocking background noise. In a loud contact centre, that second earpiece is often the difference between asking a caller to repeat themselves and getting it right first time.
Despite the dual-ear build it stays lightweight, with soft ear cushions for all-day wearing comfort. It shares the same next-generation noise-cancelling microphone, wideband audio and SoundGuard protection as the rest of the family. If your team prefers one ear on the room, take the EncorePro 510 monaural; for a step up, the EncorePro HW725 USB is the premium binaural option.

Frequently asked questions
How does it connect to my phone or PC?
Via Poly's Quick Disconnect (QD) connector: add the USB QD cable for PC softphones, or the correct bottom cable for your desk phone. Tell us what is on the desk and we will supply the right cable.
EncorePro 520 or 510 — which should my agents have?
Choose the 520 (this model) for maximum concentration in noisy rooms; choose the 510 monaural where staff also need an ear on colleagues. They are otherwise the same design.
Is it heavy to wear all day?
No — it is a lightweight headset with soft ear cushions designed for all-day wearing comfort, and SoundGuard reduces listening fatigue on top.
Does it support hearing aid users?
Yes — like the 510, the EncorePro 520 is hearing-aid compatible (HAC) for clearer sound with hearing aids.
