aesthetical appearance. In order to truly understand the telephone
headsets market some thorough research is required in order to discover the
products available. Browse around online and see what takes your idea and
remember to carefully read specifications to see what features they have
integrated. Some things to consider whilst browsing include:
The fit
This refers to
the way in which the telephone headsets
fit into or around your ear. This is possibly one of the most important
consideration that any user should keep in mind, particularly if you intend to
wear the ear hear piece for long period of time. Comfort is essential because
whether you are communicating with customers, talking to friends and family
over Skype of simply listening to music, in order for the experience to be
pleasurable, it’s important that you remain comfortable. Everyone has slightly
different sizes and shapes of ears so the style of fit that is perfect for some
is not always the best one for everyone. Styles include over the ear, over the
head and inside the ear and its sometimes best to try out different examples before
you buy.
One ear or two (binaural or monaural)
Binaural and
monaural are terms, which refer to whether you hear through one ear or both
ears and this generally comes down to personal preference and the amount of
background noise that you generally experience in your surroundings. If you
tend to work in quiet environment such as from a home office, monaural headsets
are usually more than adequate.
Cordless or corded
Nowadays cordless
telephone headsets tend to be the preference as there are no wires to get in
the way and they provide freedom to get up and walk around. The battery power
is not pretty good is most models so this is no longer an issue but of course
it depends on the level of quality for which you opt.
Connectivity
Options
regarding connectivity include Bluetooth, Wifi and UBP connectors. They all
come with their own pros and cons and once again personal preference and its
most common intended use will determine your choice.
Extra features
Extra features
that are found on some models but not all include HD audio, wideband; touch
screen, dual microphones and various other optional extras. For many people
extras are unnecessary but for some they help to make the decision to opt for a
particular product. Of course the fancier and more impressive the headset
becomes the more this will be reflected in the price tag. Your budget should
also be kept in mind whilst choosing the ideal product for you.
