Description
The Poly Blackwire 3220 (8X228A6) is a stereo binaural USB-C corded headset for hybrid workers and office professionals who use USB-C laptops and want both-ear audio without the cost of a premium ANC headset. It includes a USB-C to USB-C/A adapter and a 3.5mm connection option for mobile devices, covering both modern USB-C laptops and traditional USB-A ports from a single headset. The noise-canceling microphone provides clean outbound voice quality in open-office environments.
The Telecom Spot Take
The Blackwire 3220 USB-C fills the entry-tier binaural USB-C headset slot — both-ear audio for noise isolation in open offices, at a price point well below the premium Blackwire 8225. It's the right specification for knowledge workers who need stereo audio for focus and call quality, use USB-C laptops, and don't need ANC. The included USB-C/A adapter adds backward compatibility with USB-A ports, and the 3.5mm option covers mobile audio. For deployments where ANC is required, step up to the Blackwire 8225.
