Poly Blackwire 5210 Mono Headset | USB-C | 3.5mm | USB-A Adapter – 8X230AA

Product Overview

The Poly Blackwire 5210 (8X230AA) is a monaural USB-C headset designed for professionals who need all-day comfort and versatile connectivity. Featuring a noise-canceling microphone with 280° of flexible boom rotation, this headset ensures your voice comes through clearly while masking nearby conversations for maximum call privacy. The ultra-soft leatherette ear cushion wrapped around pillow-soft memory foam provides exceptional comfort during extended conference calls and multimedia sessions.

Built for the modern hybrid workplace, the Blackwire 5210 offers triple connectivity options: USB-C for modern laptops, a tethered USB-A adapter for legacy systems, and a 3.5mm jack for mobile devices and tablets. Dynamic EQ technology automatically optimizes audio settings—switching between wideband voice for telephony and enhanced audio for multimedia playback. The lightweight cushioned metal headband offers durability and a custom fit, while the folding design and included carrying case make it easy to transport between home and office.

SoundGuard DIGITAL hearing protection safeguards against acoustic shock by limiting sounds to below 118 dBA, with anti-startle protection and time-weighted average monitoring to prevent hearing fatigue. Intuitive inline controls provide one-touch call answer/end, volume adjustment, and mute functionality, with LED indicators for call and mute status. Compatible with all major UC platforms including Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet, the Blackwire 5210 integrates seamlessly with Poly Lens software for IT deployment and device management.
