HP Poly Focus 625 Stereo Bluetooth Headset, Hybrid ANC - C56XPAA

The HP Poly Focus 625 is a premium stereo Bluetooth headset engineered for professionals who need distraction-free calls and dependable audio, whether working from a busy open-plan office, a home study, or on the move. Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation combines with Poly's Acoustic Fence 2.0 technology and four transmit microphones to isolate your voice and block out background noise on both ends of the call, while dual 32mm speakers deliver rich, immersive sound for meetings and media alike. A slim, lightweight design with a hideaway boom microphone and soft ergonomic cushions keeps it comfortable through full days of back-to-back meetings, and up to 30 hours of talk time means it easily outlasts a working day. Certified for Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet - including Microsoft Teams Open Office certification - the Focus 625 is built to perform reliably in demanding, noisy business environments.

KEY FEATURES

Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation - Combines active noise cancellation with Poly's Acoustic Fence 2.0 and enhanced noise reduction technology to block distractions on your end and keep nearby background noise from reaching the person you're calling, even in busy open-plan offices.

4 AI-Optimised Microphones - Four dedicated transmit microphones (plus two additional mics for ANC) work together to capture clear, natural voice audio while filtering out ambient noise, keeping your voice the focus of every call.

Microsoft Teams Open Office Certified - Certified specifically for high-density, open-plan office environments, the Focus 625 is validated to deliver professional-grade call quality even where multiple people are on calls nearby. It also carries full Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet certification.

Dual 32mm Speakers - Stereo 32mm drivers deliver full, balanced sound with genuine spatial audio for an immersive listening experience across calls, meetings, and music.

Slim, Lightweight, All-Day Comfort - At 208g with a hideaway boom microphone, soft padded cushions, and an ergonomic headband, the Focus 625 is designed to look sharp and stay comfortable through long meeting days.

Up to 30 Hours Talk Time - Delivers up to 25 hours of talk time with ANC and the online busylight active, or up to 30 hours with both turned off - easily covering a full working day between charges, with a full recharge in under 2.5 hours via USB-C.

Bluetooth 5.4 with Multipoint Connection - A stable Bluetooth 5.4 connection with generous wireless range lets you roam freely during calls, while multipoint pairing makes it simple to switch between laptop, phone, and other devices without repairing.

Replaceable Battery and Magnetic Ear Cushions - The battery and ear cushions are both user-replaceable (sold separately), extending the usable life of the headset well beyond typical wear-and-tear cycles.

Tactile Jog Wheel and Smart Sensors - An intuitive jog wheel puts volume and call controls at your fingertips, while smart sensors automatically pause music and detect when the headset is worn - no manual switching required.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

The Focus 625 suits professionals, managers, and hybrid workers who spend significant time in calls and need consistently clear audio regardless of their surroundings - particularly in open-plan offices where Microsoft Teams Open Office certification makes a real difference. It's equally well suited to organisations standardising on a single premium headset across teams that split time between office, home, and travel, where all-day comfort, long battery life, and broad platform certification reduce support overhead.
