Is It Worth Upgrading to Zone Wireless 2?

The Zone Vibe Wireless and the Zone Wireless 2 look nearly the same except for the earpieces, though one would expect more advanced features. Here are the key differences that you should be aware of before deciding on upgrading.

Cost

The most obvious difference between the two models is the price. While the Zone Vibe sells for a little over $100, the Zone Wireless 2 is nearly $300. When you need to outfit multiple employees or teams, that's a pretty hefty price hike. So, let's dig into some features to see why these upgraded headphones cost so much more.

Talk Time and Listening Time

While both headphones can charge the battery in two hours, there's quite a difference in the talk time and listening time. The Zone Vibe Wireless has dual omnidirectional mics and can be used to talk for up to 18 hours, whereas the Zone Wireless has five omnidirectional mics with times that vary depending on the hybrid noise cancellation and advanced clarity settings used. Talk time ranges from 12 hours to 18 hours. Similarly, the Zone Vibe Wireless has a listening time of up to 20 hours, while the Zone Wireless 2 has a listening time of 22 to 40 hours.

Audio Compliance

Speaker specifications for the two headphones appear similar with EN 50332-2 certified compliance. However, the Zone Wireless 2 documentation indicates the speakers adhere to ADA hearing aid compliance and are G616 compliant for ear protection against acoustic shock and long-term sound exposure.

Sustainability

If choosing the most environmentally friendly products is essential to you, then it'll be worth noting that there's a slight difference between the two products. Both headphones have paper packaging that's FSC™-certified and certified carbon neutral. However, the Zone Vibe Wireless is made with plastics that are considered 25% post-consumer recycled material. In contrast, the Zone Wireless 2 consists of 20% post-consumer recycled material, and the decoration ring and temple extension are made of low-carbon aluminum.

Whether you upgrade depends on how you plan to use the headphones. It might be worth upgrading to meet specific audio compliance regulations or have longer talk and listening times. If you want to keep costs to a minimum and strive for green business practices, you may prefer not to upgrade. If you or people you talk to work in noisy environments or around loud equipment, then the advanced noise-canceling features of the upgraded model will be advantageous.
