In today’s interconnected workplace, professionals juggle calls across multiple platforms—desk phones, smartphones, and PC-based softphones. The Plantronics Savi W710 (now part of Poly) is an enterprise-grade wireless monaural headset designed specifically to solve this modern communication challenge. With the touch of a button, the Savi W710 allows you to seamlessly switch between your mobile device, desk phone, and PC, making it the ultimate tool to efficiently manage all your calls with a single, high-performance headset.
Whether you are participating in a video conference on your computer, taking a quick call on your mobile, or handling client inquiries through your traditional Small Business Phone System, the Plantronics Savi W710 ensures you remain connected, productive, and comfortable throughout the workday.
Unrivaled Multi-Device Connectivity
The standout feature of the Savi W710 is its versatile three-way connectivity. The intelligent base station acts as a centralized hub for all your audio devices:
- Desk Phone Integration: Connects to almost any standard office telephone or modern VoIP Phone System.
- PC and Softphone Connection: Connects via USB to your computer, integrating seamlessly with applications like Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Skype, and Avaya Equinox.
- Mobile Device Pairing: Utilizes Bluetooth v2.1 to pair your mobile phone directly to the base station, allowing you to answer mobile calls through your headset even while walking around the office.
- Intelligent Audio Routing: The system automatically routes mobile audio to whichever device you pick up—whether it’s the headset or the mobile phone itself—ensuring you never fumble during a call.
Premium Audio Quality and Noise-Cancellation
Clarity is non-negotiable in business communications. Plantronics has equipped the Savi W710 with advanced audio processing technologies designed to provide a professional, natural-sounding experience for both you and your callers:
- High-Definition Voice Quality: Utilizing advanced wideband audio and CAT-iq technology, the headset delivers rich, lifelike voice quality, reducing listener fatigue during long conversations.
- Noise-Cancelling Microphone: The precision-tuned microphone actively filters out background office noise, chatter, and HVAC hums, ensuring your clients hear you perfectly.
- Enhanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP): DSP technology optimizes the audio signal, eliminating echo and providing more natural voice sounds.
- SoundGuard Digital Protection: Protects your hearing against sudden, loud acoustic spikes (sounds above 118dBA), ensuring safe listening levels in accordance with occupational health standards.
Designed for Mobility and Team Collaboration
The Savi W710 frees you from your desk. Powered by secure DECT 6.0 wireless technology, it offers an impressive roaming range of up to 120 metres (350 feet). This allows you to walk to the printer, consult with a colleague, or pace the room while maintaining a rock-solid connection, entirely free from the interference often associated with standard Wi-Fi or Bluetooth-only headsets.
Furthermore, the Savi base station supports advanced team collaboration. You can easily conference in up to three additional Savi headsets onto a single call. This feature is invaluable for call centre training, supervisor monitoring, or bringing a subject matter expert into a client conversation without needing to transfer the call or book a meeting room.
Ergonomic Design and All-Day Battery Life
The “monaural” design means the headset covers only one ear, allowing you to stay aware of your immediate office surroundings while still engaging in your call. The plush leatherette ear cushion and adjustable over-the-head band provide a secure, customized fit designed for all-day comfort.
Battery anxiety is a thing of the past. The Savi W710 features an energy-efficient adaptive power system that optimizes the battery usage based on your distance from the base station. This intelligent power management delivers up to 9 hours of continuous talk time on a single charge, easily covering a full workday.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. How does the Plantronics Savi W710 connect to my mobile phone?
The headset base station features built-in Bluetooth technology. You pair your mobile smartphone to the base station, not directly to the headset earpiece. When a mobile call comes in, the base routes the audio to your Savi headset.
2. Can I answer desk phone calls while away from my desk?
Yes, but this requires an additional accessory. Depending on your desk phone model, you will need either an Electronic Hook Switch (EHS) cable or an HL10 Handset Lifter. Fixtel can supply the correct accessory for your specific telephone system.
3. What is the difference between monaural and binaural headsets?
The Savi W710 is a “monaural” headset, meaning it has one earpiece, leaving your other ear open to hear your office environment. If you work in a very loud environment and need to block out background noise completely, you may want to look at a “binaural” (two earpieces) model like the Savi W720.
4. Does the Savi W710 work with Microsoft Teams or Zoom?
Absolutely. By connecting the base station to your PC via the included USB cable, the headset functions as a premium audio device for all PC-based softphones, video conferencing platforms, and unified communications software.
5. Will Fixtel assist with the setup of these headsets?
Yes, Fixtel provides comprehensive installation, configuration, and support services across Australia, ensuring your new hardware integrates perfectly with your existing IT and telecommunications networks.
