Wireless Headset Reviews

If you currently spend more than 5-10 percent of your day on the telephone while also multi-tasking to get several other things done throughout your day this may be a very easy and effective way for you to increase your productivity anywhere from 1% per day all the way up to as high as 10% (or more) over the way you are currently getting things done.

There are basically four different types of wireless headset systems they are

1.) Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) wireless headsets – Which is used for cordless telephone phones systems. The most commonly used profile of DECT is Generic access profile (GAP).

The GAP profile is used to enable communication between any GAP-enabled DECT base station and its cordless handset. By having this uniformed profile, developers like Plantronics, Accutone and Jabra have developed wireless headsets that can directly pair with any GAP-enabled DECT telephones.

This allows anyone with a DECT Wireless Headset to pair it with their home or office DECT telephones and enjoy wireless communication using the wireless headset instead of the handheld receiver.

2.) The 2.4 GHz wireless headsets – This refers to the radio frequency (rf) that the wireless unit is designed to operate on. This is an open frequency for wireless devices however other systems also use it (such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Wireless Lan) which can cause problems with interference.

Because 2.4 GHz Wireless Headsets operate on a different frequency an additional base-unit is needed for the headset to communicate with the corded telephone base unit (land line).

The wireless headset communicates with the base-unit and the base-unit communicates with the telephone base-unit (land line).

An automatic handset lifter can be used with some 2.4 GHz wireless systems to allow the handset to be lifted wirelessly by pressing a button on the wireless headset.

3.) Bluetooth Wireless Headsets – this technology has become a common wireless profile for wireless bluetooth mobile phone headsets.

Bluetooth also operates on 2.4 GHz RF, similar to WLAN or Wi-Fi, but because it is designed for low power consumption, it has a low transmission range.

Bluetooth Wireless desktop – With a base-station that connects to the land-line telephone and also the computer sound card, any bluetooth headset can be paired to the base-station, which will allow you to use a single wireless headset for both land-line telephone and computer VoIP communications.

This option, when used together with a multiple-point bluetooth headset allows you to use a single wireless bluetooth headset to communicate in Mobile,Telephone and Computer, which can be used to provide a complete wireless communication desktop solution using Bluetooth technology.

A wireless office Headset can give you the equivalent functionality of a telephone handset with the benefit of hands-free operation and better ease of use, which in-turn can allow you to get more done and be more productive throughout your day.

Currently one of the best known makers of high quality Wireless headsets for almost any communications need is Plantronics. Plantronics headsets were used by the astronauts to communicate
from the moon back to earth, (Now that’s quite a distance).
