The Blackwire 8225 sits at the top of Poly's corded Blackwire range — a premium USB-A stereo headset for professionals who take serious calls in less-than-serious environments. Active noise cancelling quietens the world around you, while the noise-cancelling boom microphone does the same for the person on the other end.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between this and the MS version?

The headset hardware is the same; the MS variant is tailored for Microsoft Teams deployments, while this standard version is the choice for other UC platforms.

Is it wireless?

No — the 8225 is a corded USB-A headset. That means consistent audio, no pairing and no charging. If you need to roam, look at the Voyager Focus 2.

Why choose a corded headset with ANC?

ANC deals with the noise around you; the cord deals with everything else — no battery management, no dropouts, and one less device on the charging shelf.

Will it work with my softphone?

Yes — it connects as a standard USB audio device and works with the leading UC clients on PC and Mac.
