Description
The Poly EncorePro 715 (783N5AA) is a monaural USB-A over-the-head corded headset from the premium EncorePro 700 Series, designed for contact center agents and enterprise desk workers who connect primarily via PC softphone or UC platform. With a 7.15-foot cable, omni-directional noise-canceling microphone, SoundGuard DIGITAL hearing protection, and TAA compliance, it delivers enterprise-grade audio and durability in a direct USB-A plug-and-play form factor. Inline controls on the cable handle call answer/end, volume, and mute without switching application windows.
The Telecom Spot Take
The EncorePro 715 is for contact centers and enterprise deployments where the softphone or UC platform is the primary voice path — Teams, Zoom, Cisco Webex, Avaya OneCloud, or any USB audio device. The USB-A connection means it works out of the box with no amplifier or adapter required. The 700-series build quality shows in the reinforced headband and leatherette cushion — this headset holds up to daily multi-year use rather than degrading within months. The monaural design keeps one ear open for supervisors or agents in open collaborative environments; for full noise isolation in loud floors, the binaural HW720 is the upgrade path. SoundGuard DIGITAL is the more advanced version of Poly's hearing protection — it goes beyond a simple peak limiter to include anti-startle detection and time-weighted average noise monitoring for OSHA compliance.
Key Features
- Direct USB-A Connectivity: Plug-and-play with any USB-A port — no amplifier, adapter, or driver installation required for most UC platforms.
- Omni-Directional Noise-Canceling Mic: Captures voice clearly while reducing background floor noise on the caller's end.
- Inline Call Controls: Answer/end calls, adjust volume, and mute directly from the cable without navigating application menus.
- SoundGuard DIGITAL Hearing Protection: Three-layer protection — 118 dBA peak limit, anti-startle detection, and time-weighted average monitoring for OSHA-compliant hearing safety.
- EncorePro 700 Series Build: Reinforced nylon composite headband and leatherette cushion for long-term durability in daily use.
- TAA Compliant: Meets US federal and government procurement requirements.
- 7.15 ft Cable: Generous cable length for comfortable reach from PC tower or docking station to headset.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Does the EncorePro 715 work with Microsoft Teams?
- Yes — the 715 connects via USB-A and works as a USB audio device with Teams, Zoom, Webex, and other UC platforms. It is not specifically Teams-certified (no Teams button), but it functions fully for calls, meetings, and audio.
- What is the difference between the EncorePro 715 and the EncorePro HW510?
- The 715 connects directly via USB-A — no amplifier needed. The HW510 uses a Quick-Disconnect connector and requires a Poly amplifier or USB adapter for PC connectivity. The 715 is the simpler plug-and-play option; the HW510 provides more flexibility in mixed desk phone and PC environments.
