Best Wireless Headsets for Conference Calls (with Multi-Headset Conferencing)

Conference calls have a specific headset problem regular calls don't: sometimes more than one person needs to listen in on the same call from the same desk. A handful of wireless headsets solve this directly, letting a second, third, or fourth headset join in on one active call. Here's the current lineup.

For conference calls where multiple people need to listen on one call, the Poly CS540 supports up to 3 additional headsets joining an active call, and the Jabra Engage 65 SE and EPOS IMPACT 5000 series both support multi-headset conferencing as well. The Poly Savi 8420/8445 adds tri-connectivity (desk phone, computer, Bluetooth) alongside conference support, for anyone also juggling multiple devices.

Key takeaways

  • Several wireless headsets support conference mode — a second, third, or fourth headset joining an active call from the same base.
  • The Poly CS540 supports up to 3 additional headsets joining a call, at a budget-friendly price point.
  • The Jabra Engage 65 SE and EPOS IMPACT 5000 series (successor to the SDW series) both offer multi-headset conferencing with more range and device connectivity.
  • The Poly Savi 8420/8445 adds tri-connectivity (desk phone, computer, Bluetooth) if you also need to juggle multiple devices.
  • Several older "top pick" models from previous years (Savi 8240, original Jabra Engage 65, older EPOS SDW naming) are now discontinued or renamed — corrected below.

Poly CS540: budget-friendly conference mode

Best budget conference headset

Poly CS540

A convertible wireless headset (three wearing styles) with up to 7 hours of talk time and up to 350 feet of range. Supports up to 3 additional headsets conferencing in on the same active call, with a noise-cancelling microphone so listeners hear you clearly. The most affordable entry point in this comparison.

Poly Savi 7000/8000 series: dual and tri-connectivity

Best desk phone + computer

Poly Savi 7310

Connects to a desk phone and computer via USB, with up to 590 feet of range and 13 hours of talk time. The current generation in this line, following the design refinements (easier-to-find volume and mute controls, larger earcups for better sound) introduced in the prior generation.
Best tri-connectivity + ANC

Poly Savi 8420 Office

Convertible wearing style (over-the-head, over-the-ear, or behind-the-neck) with active noise cancelling and connectivity to a desk phone, computer, and Bluetooth device simultaneously. A strong pick if you're managing calls across multiple devices in addition to conferencing in colleagues.

Jabra Engage 65 SE: high-density conferencing

Best for high headset density

Jabra Engage 65 SE

A lightweight wireless headset with up to 490 feet of range and support for significantly more simultaneous headsets in one location than standard DECT systems, without interference. Busylights on both the earcup and the boom tip signal call status. Connects to both a desk phone and computer, and works with Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and other major UC platforms. Its noise-cancelling microphone blocks most unwanted background sound.

EPOS IMPACT 5000 series: triple connectivity

Best triple-connect option

EPOS IMPACT 5000 series

A convertible wireless headset (over-the-head, over-the-ear, or behind-the-neck) with triple connectivity — desk phone, computer via USB, and a Bluetooth-enabled device like a cell phone or tablet. A busylight on the earcup and a noise-cancelling microphone round out the feature set, with fast charging and up to 10 hours of talk time. Supports conference mode with multiple headsets on one base, and works with EPOS EHS adapters or a mechanical lifter for remote answering. This is the current name for what was previously sold as the SDW series.
What is the best wireless headset for conference calls?

The Poly CS540 is the best budget option, supporting up to 3 additional headsets conferencing on one call. For more range and device connectivity, the Jabra Engage 65 SE and EPOS IMPACT 5000 series are current top-tier picks, and the Poly Savi 8420/8445 adds tri-connectivity if you also need desk phone, computer, and Bluetooth in one headset.

Can multiple people join a call using separate wireless headsets?

Yes, using conference mode, supported by several wireless headset lines including the Poly CS540, Jabra Engage 65 SE, and EPOS IMPACT series. A second, third, or sometimes fourth headset can join an already-active call from the same base.

What replaced the Plantronics Savi 8240 and original Jabra Engage 65?

The Savi 8240 is discontinued, replaced by the current Savi 8420 or 8445 (both part of the Savi 8400 series). The original Jabra Engage 65 is also discontinued, replaced by the Jabra Engage 65 SE.

What happened to the EPOS SDW series?

The SDW naming has been succeeded by the current EPOS IMPACT 5000 series, which offers the same triple-connectivity concept (desk phone, computer, Bluetooth) under the updated EPOS branding.
