How to find the right headset for you and your employees

In the context of technological progress and globalization, it is no longer unusual to hold a video callwith two people sitting at different ends of the world. More and more companies are offering their employees the opportunity to work from their home office. However, in order to be able to understand your employees perfectly, no matter where they are, you need a suitable headset. But employees in the office also need a good headset in order to participate in video conferences and concentrate on them without distraction. In this article, we explain how to find a really good headset and what you should look out for when choosing one. 

 - How to find the right headset for you and your employees

Business headset – What's important? 

In order to be able to connect with each other and with customers all over the world in the best possible way, you need the right video conferencing technology. This includes both the right software and hardware. The latter includes cameras and audio systems. An important component of audio technology is the headset.

A good headset ensures that you can understand your colleagues perfectly, just as your colleague can hear you without interference. First of all, a good connection to the PC is important, which should be easily achieved with a professional headset using both a cable and a Bluetooth connection.

The ability to filter out background noise is important for sound quality. Whether you are sitting in an open-plan room or with the window open on a busy street, it is rarely completely quiet around you. To ensure that the other person can understand you as well as possible, you should therefore pay attention to the possibility of noise suppression when buying a headset. Your own appearance also plays a not insignificant role in a professional context. Although over-ear headsets are very comfortable and provide excellent sound quality, they do not give a truly professional impression.

 

Headset for the office and at home: your preferences 

The choice of headset for you or your employees depends on various factors. If you are in an open-plan office where there is often a certain level of noise, a headset with a noise-canceling function is an advantage. However, if you prefer to remain responsive and be able to hear your surroundings, a monaural headset is probably more suitable. This is a headset that only sits over one ear.

You see: It always depends on the requirements that you or your employees place on the video conferencing technology. If a person walks around a lot or already has a lot of cables on the table, they may prefer a Bluetooth headset rather than one with a cable. However, this also depends on personal preferences, just like the question of whether someone prefers an in-ear headset or an on-ear headset.

Wearing comfort is of great importance for every headset, regardless of whether you are in the office or working from home. Anyone who has regular contact with customers or colleagues spends a lot of time wearing a headset. The least you can do is ensure that the headset does not pinch uncomfortably or slip constantly during this time.

The price range and quality of a headset can vary greatly. For example, high-quality business headsets have various additional features. These include the ability to adjust the volume directly via the headset, mute it or answer calls via it. Everyone sets priorities differently and there is a suitable headset for every requirement.
