We’ve all been on been stuck on a long phone call whether it be for work, or just chatting with a friend. Trying to hold your phone and multitask isn’t just inconvenient, but dangerous for your health. Holding your phone between your ear and shoulder puts your neck and body at odd angles leading to strain, even if it’s for short periods of time. This is why many office and home professionals are making the switch to headsets. Fortunately, technology has produced lightweight headsets that produce rich audio and crisp voice communication.
Determining the right headset for you is the easy part. If you spend most of the day at your desk, corded headsets are a great option. If you are constantly moving away from your desk a wireless headset would be better suited for you. Corded headsets are nearly 100% universal with all IP desk phones. What you will need to connect to your phone is either a bottom cable or an amplifier. Generally speaking, if you have an old phone you will need a Jabra Link 860 Amplifier. Newer phones typically have an amplifier built in so, you can plug the bottom cable directly into the headset port on your phone. Wireless headset systems have an amplifier built into the base which makes them roughly 99% compatible with all desk phones. Let’s take a look at some headsets.
