How many types of Wireless Office Headset are there?
There are two types of cordless headset to be aware about.
Professional level DECT wireless office headsets
These are designed to be used for fixed Office Telephones, Softphones, VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) phones and PCs. These types of wireless headsets usually come in two parts:
1. The headset itself which is fitted with a rechargeable battery.
2. The base unit which connects to the telephone via a cord, and (if compatible) the PC via USB cable or Bluetooth. The base unit acts as the receiver and charger unit for the headset itself. The headset, in this case, is communicating with the base unit to send its signal to the comms device – these headsets almost always use *DECT technology to communicate wirelessly between headset and base unit.* There are a few Bluetooth only models available that function in the same way.
Standard Bluetooth office headsets
These are primarily designed for mobile phones and/or PCs and are usually supplied with only the headset and charging cable or charging pod – it is the headset using Bluetooth technology to connect to the mobile or PC device directly.
Except common office Bluetooth headset with full headband, Bluetooth headsets come in many forms, from the modern style; Apple AirPods or Google PixelBuds to the earpiece style, to headsets with neckbands to wear whilst exercising.
Bluetooth office headsets are very much multi-functional, and are commonly used for taking & making business calls and listening to music on the go.
