PLAN_8225-USBA-MSPoly Blackwire 8225 Stereo USB A, MS Certified
The Blackwire 8225 USB-A MS is the Microsoft Teams variant of Poly's flagship corded headset. It pairs active noise cancelling with a noise-cancelling boom microphone, so both sides of the call stay clear — and it is built with Teams deployments in mind, making it the natural pick for organisations standardised on Microsoft 365.
Running a mixed or non-Microsoft UC estate? The standard Blackwire 8225 USB-A is the same headset for other platforms. For teams that do not need ANC, the Blackwire C5220 keeps the binaural comfort at a lower price.

Frequently asked questions
MS or standard — which one do I need?
Buy this MS version if your organisation runs Microsoft Teams. The standard variant is the better fit for other UC platforms; the hardware is otherwise the same.
Does it work with other apps too?
Yes — it is still a standard USB audio device, so other softphones and meeting apps will use it. The MS tuning simply optimises the Teams experience.
Is it wireless?
No — it is a corded USB-A headset. If you want Teams-ready wireless, look at the Voyager Focus 2 MS.
Do I need to charge it?
No — it is powered over the USB cable, so it is always ready when the next meeting starts.
