Cisco Headsets

Purchasing premium business headsets from Bechtle.

Communication is an integral part of our business lives and no matter if you’re at home, in the office or anywhere in between, you want to be sure you can block out unwanted noise. Get your message across clearly with a business headset. Headsets with mics come in a wide range of models. Wireless headsets for the office, logistics, manufacturing, business trips and more give you utmost flexibility while wired models are perfect for staff in open-plan offices who predominately work on PCs and notebooks. Bechtle’s portfolio includes products to suit every budget, all characterised by excellent wearing comfort, great sound quality and a long battery life. Alongside EPOS headsets (formerly Sennheiser), we also offer models from renowned manufacturers such as Logitech, Jabra and Poly (formerly Plantronics). The filters in the online will help you find the model that best suits what you are looking for. Search for features such as Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) to block out background sounds, voice control, automatic conversation mode so you can quickly confer with colleagues, and even touch sensors. With products from Bechtle, you’ll be sure to benefit from outstanding audio quality.

 

Crystal-clear sound with office headsets.

When looking for an office headset, you need to make sure that it can block out background noise so you can stay focused on the task at hand. Whatever your specific needs and preferences, you’re sure to find the right headset and mic combo right here. The first choice to make is between on-ear and in-ear headsets. As the names suggest, the former fit snugly on the ear, while the latter are small enough to fit into the ear canal. There are also over-ear models and all three are ideal for office use. Bone conduction headsets are a less well-known, yet highly effective alternative, which send sound waves through your skull, making them perfect for those with sensitive ears. All four models deliver outstanding voice quality, and so the one you go for depends on personal preference. We recommend trying out all of the different types of headsets before making an investment to make sure the ear pads and headband are comfortable for you. There are also several connectivity options to consider. The majority of headsets connect to devices via aUSB cable while Bluetooth headsets are wireless making them the perfect choice for employees who are often on the road, such as architects, as well as those who don’t have a fixed workstation like those working in logistics. The model you go for will depend on your preference and where exactly the headset will be used. If your staff is regularly on the move and calling customers and colleagues, Bluetooth is the best way to go, but if they spend most of their days at the same desk, a USB cable won’t do any harm. Whatever the model you choose, you can be sure of great sound and voice quality from Bechtle.

 

Professional headsets for fluid workflows.

No matter if you’re looking for a Bluetooth or wired headset, there are several criteria to consider. Depending on whether you’re going to connect them to a computer or smart devices such as a smartphone or tablet, you’ll need different connectors. Bluetooth headsets are popular because they can connect to most modern devices without the need for a cable and thanks to integrated microphones and intuitive controls, you can also start phone calls or join video conferences with a simple tap. Unlike USB models, you need to make sure that the battery life is long enough that you and your team can be reached at all times, even after using the device for several hours. Another factor to consider is the software you use. For example, different models may come into question depending on whether you use Unified Communications or Microsoft Teams. If you work in noisy environments like a warehouse, hold appointments on the train or simply need absolute silence, you should consider noise cancelling headsets which either come with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) or NC. Once activated, you’ll be spared the distraction of voices and other background noise.

 

Bluetooth or DECT headsets for flexibility.

Wireless office headsets come with either Bluetooth or DECT functionality with the biggest benefit of both being flexibility. Whether you’re taking part in a conference or in a call, you can move around, adjust the volume and mute/unmute at will. With a noise-cancelling model, you can also work from anywhere without distractions, plus you don’t have to worry about getting into a tangle with a cable. If you work at a fixed workstation, your desk can quickly become cluttered with all the wires, impacting well-being and therefore also efficiency and productivity. While Bluetooth headsets usually have a range of 10 to 100 metres, DECT models can connect from up to 300 metres outdoors. For open-plan offices, DECT headsets score highly in terms of low interference. Wireless headsets and mics are therefore the perfect choice for trade fairs and exhibitions, but also healthcare, wholesale and retail environments. 

 

Office headsets – Optimised for UC and Microsoft Teams.

In principle, all professional headsets can be used with all audio applications, but to ensure your employees and customers truly benefit, you need one that is optimised for business. For example, Bechtle has a range of devices for Microsoft Teams  with controls that are adapted to the specific features of the individual programs for smooth workflows. What’s more, when you choose an optimised product, you can be sure of the best audio quality regardless if you choose a noise-cancelling headset or one for an open-plan or home office, so you and your conversation partner benefit from crystal-clear communication.

 

Noise-cancelling headsets.

The most critical factor to consider when buying a business headset is noise-cancelling technology with a distinction being made between active and passive. On-ear headsets usually have some kind of insulation that passively blocks out noise, while ANC models produce inverted sound waves to neutralise ambient noise. Headsets with ANC are ideal for open-plan offices, logistics, trade industries and for mobile working common for architects and facility management. Focused work and uninterrupted calls are just a click away at Bechtle.

 

Business headset accessories.

While a headset in itself is an accessory for other hardware, there are a range of extras available to buy to add that little bit extra. Holders keep your headset tidy and always within reach while adapters let you connect to phone system allowing you to work without a PC or smart device. Spare batteries and ear cushions breathe new life into your devices after intensive use and charging stations, control units and call displays are also available in our online shop.

 

Choosing the best business headset.

Selecting the right headset for the office or other environments depends on a host of factors, so make sure you consider the individual needs and application areas for each employee before making a purchase. Ask yourself the following questions to help you make the best choice:

• Type: Do you need an over-ear, on-ear or in-ear headset? The answer will depend heavily on personal preference and wearing comfort. You should also think about whether you want a monaural or binaural model. And don’t forget bone conduction models. 
• Application area: How and where will the headsets be used? Devices used predominately in the office or at home need to fulfil other requirements than those used on building sites or warehouses. 
• Sound quality: How important is audio quality for getting the job done? Employees in constant contact with customers such as in asset management, or design professionals working with audio files need crystal-clear sound, so look for models supporting ANC, 360° sound and on/in-ear detection. 
• Wearing comfort: For how long will the headset be worn in one sitting? Adjustable headbands, soft ear cushions and lightweight yet durable materials are critical when you’re going to be wearing your headset for long sessions, for example in call centres.
• Features: Which additional features would benefit your team? Consider noise cancellation and optimisations for Skype for Business or Microsoft Teams as well as flexible microphone booms and function buttons. 

 

The best choice for…

• The home office: For all those working from home, over-ear headsets are a great choice as when combined with noise cancellation, they allow you to concentrate better, offer all-day wearing comfort and deliver excellent sound quality.
• Logistics: Robust devices are a good idea in the logistics industry as well as hands-free features such as voice control, which allow your employees to easily manage goods. To cut out loud background noises, passive or active noise cancellation are a good extra feature. 
• Manufacturing and heavy industries: Rugged headsets are essential in this sector as they need to withstand tough conditions all while ensuring clear communications. Other features such as wireless connectivity and a long battery life are also recommended to facilitate and optimise communications across the organisation.
• Architecture: Architects need a headset that delivers excellent sound quality for clear phone calls and discussions on designs. Binaural, on or over-ear headsets are a great choice for use in a wide variety of office environments. 
• Trade industries: Monaural, in-ear headsets are perfect for seamless communication with colleagues. A robust design is also a good idea to withstand dusty and other tough environments while hands-free capabilities facilitate use.
• Open-plan offices: Teams working in open-plan offices should choose headsets with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) to minimise disruptive background sounds and boost sound quality even during long calls. Wireless connectivity promotes flexibility and mobility meaning calls can be taken anywhere.
