Yealink BH71 Pro Bluetooth Headset

Does not noise cancel

The earpiece is comfortable and I can hear them very clearly however I work in an office and when on the phone the caller can hear everything people are saying in the office! Beware it does not noice cancel

Disappointed

I bought because it because I needed the answer/ignore command, it doesn’t announce who’s calling to be hands free and the range.

Great sound

The sound is great. Comfortable. The main problem is that the buttons are not automatically connected to Zoom to get a call just with the red button

Be aware if you work in construction

3 months and the unit won’t charge. Granted I work in construction. I have a feeling if I was only in an office or a non dirty job it would still be working great. Other than it’s basically junk now since it only charges through the magnetic strips it was a great headset. Honestly call quality is amazing the in ear volume is more that sufficient I’m never in an office when I use this. Bluetooth range is great. If it had a usb-c port or some other way to charge it would be 5 stars easily

Battery life, range and how compact it is

This little item is awesome!! My house is 4162 sq feet and I am able to go everywhere when I am on a work call, including the back yard with no interruption. It was hard to get used to the ear piece because it doesn't go in your ear like a rubber piece does but you'll get used to it. I use it all week long, I only charge it on the weekends. The battery last forever, its very compact. Worth ever dollar!

Sound is good but didn't like the one earlier dynamic

I'm a longtime headset user for my conference calls and have over the ear headphones with a boom mile for my zooms. This little guy works great, feels solid and comes in a handy carrying case. It's good for on the go, but given it's for one ear I found myself being distracted (I was using in an airport and the ambient noise on the other side was bothersome). This unit does what it claims to do but consider the 1 ear vs 2 dynamic when purchasing.

Good Plantronics imitation but not there yet

This headset is a copy of Plantronics Voyager series headset which are leader in this space for decades. I have used many in that series from legend, Edges to 5200 and few in other series. I have tried few others and have gone back. I am afraid this time it's same. The reason they rule in category is not for fancy things but simple about to communicate in almost any situation. You can talk from a cafeteria, market, train station and still the other side can hear you clearly without (most of time) even noticing your surrounding noise.

This headset is not a complete failure, in fact it's quite good and better than most. So let have look has it fair in different aspects.

Build: build quality seems decent but slightly inferior than poly. It's mostly plastic. The adjustable shaft may be useful for some though I never had problem positioning in ear. This may become a weaker link though. I carry my poly in pocket in small pouch and never broke in over 20yrs. I am not sure about this.

Case is slicker and easy to carry than poly which is too big. However the case surface is very slippery, a tacky rubber coat would have been better.

Charging port is a problem, you need special cable which is not included in pro version. This is unacceptable in 2025. Poly corrected this over a decade. It should be USB C chargeable.

Buttons: A rotary volume control is great, but power switch size and position is worst. It's very inconvenient to turn it on of while wearing. Poly is very easy in this.

Ear tips are different from poly. I hope they are readily available otherwise your entire headset becomes useless.

Function:

Pairing was easy. I found some audio programs take about a second to transfer audio to the headset and starts it on phone speaker.

Call transfer is very easy with Poly headset. They also have a wear sensor. If you take your poly out of ear, your call automatically transfers to phone. Also accepting call is easy with Poly, it gives you a voice prompt to accept it ignore a call. I am not sure if this have wear sensor or not but it didn't behave as Poly explained above. If it is there, I will need to explain.

Audio quality is good and is louder than Poly.

Microphone: The outgoing (microphone) sound quality seem to have better depth than Poly.

Noise cancelling: This headset seem to do a good job if noise cancelling if the nose is same and consistent. But it picks up every change for about half a second and then start cancelling it. I tested both headset with different sounds like toilet flush, kitchen exhaust, garbage disposer, blender. In most cases on Poly headset you couldn't tell the event if even happened. But I'm every instance with this headset you could hear the beginning of the sound, even changing the blender or fan speed was clearly marked. However if the same noise continues it blocks it very well.

Overall it's good headset for communication but if you are picking it up for the Poly noise cancellation quality is not there yet.
