The modern workplace requires ultimate flexibility. If you are constantly switching between your desk phone, participating in PC-based video conferences, and taking calls on your mobile smartphone, the Plantronics Savi W740 is the all-in-one communication tool you need. Engineered for true unified communications, the Savi W740 is a premium, convertible wireless headset that allows you to seamlessly manage calls across your mobile, PC, and desk phone with the touch of a single button.
Whether your office utilizes a traditional PBX or you have recently upgraded to a modern Small Business Phone System, the Savi W740 integrates perfectly to ensure you remain productive, comfortable, and always connected. As the lightest DECT wireless headset on the market, it redefines what professionals can expect from their daily communication hardware.
Three Convertible Wearing Styles for Maximum Comfort
One size rarely fits all when it comes to headsets. Plantronics designed the Savi W740 to be fully convertible, allowing users to find their most comfortable fit for all-day use. You can easily switch between three different wearing styles depending on your preference or task:
- Over-the-Ear: A sleek, discreet style that utilizes a lightweight ear hook. Perfect for users who want a minimalist look without messing up their hair.
- Over-the-Head: A traditional, highly stable headband design that distributes weight evenly across the head, ideal for long conference calls.
- Behind-the-Neck: A highly comfortable neckband that provides stability while remaining completely out of the way.
Because it is highly customizable and incredibly lightweight (weighing just 21 grams in the over-the-ear configuration), the Savi W740 drastically reduces user fatigue, even during the longest shifts.
Seamless Multi-Device Connectivity
The intelligent Savi base station acts as the central command centre for all your office audio. It brings true convergence to your desktop by offering:
- Desk Phone Integration: Connects flawlessly to standard office phones. Pair it with an EHS (Electronic Hook Switch) cable or HL10 lifter to answer calls while away from your desk.
- PC and Softphone Connection: Connects via USB to your computer, making it the perfect companion for Cloud Telephony platforms, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Cisco Webex.
- Mobile Device Pairing: Features Bluetooth v2.1 technology built directly into the base station. Pair your smartphone and take mobile calls through your headset while roaming the office.
- Smart Call Routing: The headset automatically routes mobile audio to whichever device you pick up, ensuring a seamless transition and preventing missed connections.
Enterprise-Grade Audio Quality and Protection
When dealing with clients and partners, audio quality reflects your brand’s professionalism. The Savi W740 utilizes advanced wideband audio and CAT-iq technology to provide high-definition voice quality, resulting in more natural-sounding conversations.
To ensure your environment doesn’t interfere with your calls, the headset features a premium noise-cancelling microphone that filters out background office chatter. Additionally, Enhanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP) removes echo and provides a crisp, clear audio signal.
Your health and safety are also prioritized. Plantronics’ proprietary SoundGuard Digital protection technology actively monitors audio levels, protecting against sudden, high-volume sound spikes (above 118dBA) and preventing acoustic shock.
Advanced DECT 6.0 Wireless Range and Battery Life
The Savi W740 utilizes voice-dedicated DECT 6.0 technology between the base station and the headset. This provides exceptional audio clarity and eliminates interference from Wi-Fi networks, offering a massive roaming range of up to 120 metres (350 feet).
Power management is highly optimized. The energy-efficient adaptive power system automatically adjusts signal strength based on your distance from the base, maximizing battery life. Enjoy up to 7 hours of continuous talk time on a single charge. Furthermore, the headset supports a hot-swappable battery feature (requires a separate accessory), allowing you to change batteries mid-call for virtually unlimited talk time.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What does “Convertible” mean for the Savi W740?
Convertible means the headset comes with multiple wearing attachments in the box. You can configure the exact same earpiece to be worn over-the-ear with a hook, over-the-head with a headband, or behind-the-neck with a neckband, ensuring a comfortable fit for any user.
2. Can I merge a call from my desk phone with a call on my PC?
Yes, one of the most powerful features of the Savi 700 series is the ability to mix audio from different channels. You can conference a call from your desk phone together with a VoIP call from your PC softphone.
3. Does the Bluetooth connect to the headset itself or the base?
The Bluetooth v2.1 connection is built into the base station, not the headset earpiece. You pair your smartphone to the base, and the base transmits the mobile call to your headset using long-range DECT technology. This gives you much better range than standard Bluetooth.
4. What is a hot-swappable battery?
The W740 features a removable battery on the earpiece. With the purchase of an optional deluxe charging cradle and spare battery, you can physically swap a dying battery for a fully charged one in the middle of a call without losing the connection, giving you unlimited talk time.
5. Will Fixtel set up the remote answering feature for me?
Absolutely. Fixtel’s expert technicians can supply and install the correct Electronic Hook Switch (EHS) cables or HL10 handset lifters required for your specific brand of desk phone, ensuring you can answer calls remotely with zero hassle.
