When it comes to professional-grade wireless communication, Shokz offers two dedicated USB wireless adapters: Loop 110 and Loop 120. These adapters ensure a seamless, reliable connection for your Shokz headsets, whether you’re working from home, on the go, or in the office.

In this guide, we will break down the differences, similarities, and ideal use cases for each so you can select the best adapter for your environment.

Shokz Loop 110 Overview

The Shokz Loop 110 ($49.95 MSRP) is specifically designed for the Shokz OpenComm series, including:

Pro Tip

If you pair a Loop 110 adapter with older OpenComm or OpenComm UC headsets, you’ll get solid wireless connectivity, but you won’t be able to access some of the advanced features exclusive to the newer OpenComm2 UC headset. For full functionality with OpenComm2 UC (2025 Upgrade) and OpenMeet UC, opt for the Loop 120.

How to use existing Poly and Jabra DECT wireless headsets for Hybrid Work

/0 Comments/in , , , , , , , /by

Organizations seeking to provide a consistent audio experience for their hybrid workforce have a few questions they need to answer like, “Is their setup the same in their home as their office? If not, what are the differences?” More questions to consider can be found in this blog: Questions to ask when selecting audio and video devices for Hybrid Work.

I will share a couple examples of how to convert headsets you may be using today into a hybrid work solution for audio. Starting with the Poly Savi 8200 Office Series and ending with the Jabra Engage 75/65 Series.

Poly Savi 8200 Office for Hybrid Work

  • Poly Savi 8200 Series

Many organizations have deployed the Poly Savi 8200 Office. However, due to the Savi headset and base, phone interface cable or EHS cable connected to their desk phone, USB cable connected to their work computer, and AC power supply that’s part of the spaghetti of cables under their workstation, it’s not really designed to be “portable”.

The Poly D200 DECT Wireless Savi Adapter can be purchased separately as an accessory to enable PC connection. They are available in in USB-A, USB-C, UC, and Microsoft variants.

To see how to pair your Savi 8200 Series headset to the D200 DECT Wireless Savi Adapter, watch video below!

The other accessory you will need is a charger for the headset or battery depending on which Savi 8200 Office headset model you have.

Jabra Engage 65/75 Series for Hybrid Work

  • Wireless Headsets Jabra Engage 65 DECT headsets Hybrid Work
  • Wireless Headsets Jabra Engage 65 DECT headsets Hybrid Work
  • DECT headsets Hybrid Work
  • Wireless Headsets Jabra Engage 65

The DECT wireless Jabra Engage 75 and Engage 65 Series are top sellers deployed in thousands of offices nationwide. Enable your Jabra Engage 75/65 or Jabra Evolve USB wireless headset to work as a corded USB device with the Jabra USB-A Cable – 14201-26 that is included with the Jabra Engage 75/65 system. The cable is black with a length of 4.9 ft/ 1.5 m. Leave the Jabra Engage base, telephone interface cable or EHS cable, and AC power supply in the office and take the headset and USB cable to work from home or from anywhere!

If you prefer to leave set up in office intact and not disconnect existing USB cable from the Engage base, buy a spare USB cable for only $23.

There is a prerequisite, you must have installed firmware version 2.0.5 or later (Jabra Direct version 4.x or later is required to install the firmware update) so you can use your Jabra Engage 65/75 wireless headset as a wired USB audio device.

Please note when your headset is connected as a wired USB audio device, call controls and the busylight feature on the headset are not supported.

See the steps to use your headset as a wired USB audio device in the video below!
