There are several other advantages, especially in the office. Apart from increasing the comfort level, phone headsets also help to lessen the external noise in the office and enable to concentrate better on the voice over the phone. Many employers, especially those in the contact centers, are thus increasingly considering investing in phone headsets for employees. An ideal phone headset should be comfortable, soft, durable, easy to use and also inexpensive. Adjustable headbands, accessible switches and controls, clear sound, good acoustical fit, adjustable listening and speaking volumes, compatibility with the phone are some of the things to be considered in a good phone headset.
There are several models available. These differ on the basis of mobility (wireless/ corded), the kind of ear piece (monaural/ binaural), the phone connection (Bluetooth, USB, 3.5mm/ Analog), the compatibility (to music), the kind of computer usage (VoIP, Computer Gaming), the range of bass/treble, the power of the speakers, noise-canceling ability etc. Most cell phones can accommodate the 2.5 mm plug that is generally offered with standard cellular headsets. However, some phones like Nokia, Ericsson and Nextel require special adapters for headsets.
The leading manufacturers of phone headsets are Plantronics, GN Netcom, Headsets.com, Sennheiser, Jabra, and Sony. The Internet is a good source for locating the ideal phone headset. There are several web sites that provide comprehensive information about the wide range available today.
