How To Choose Between the Poly Mission 425 Classic and Standard The primary difference between the Poly Mission 425 Classic and the standard HP Poly Mission 425 headset comes down to one thing: ear cushion material. The Classic uses soft foam ear cushions and weighs 126 grams, while the standard version uses leatherette ear cushions and weighs 132 grams.
