Andrew Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 I need to get round to buying a headset for working from home; lots of time on conf calls. Any recommendations that don't cost the earth? Some seem to have quality problems when speaking to others on calls that use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveP Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 If you mean to plug into a mobile then not sure. But I used Logitech h600 headset plugged into a computer, which really well. Could mute and walk around the office quite a distance (maybe 30m and through a wall). Battery was good. Quality was good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 I've often felt like banging my head on a wall during a call but I've never actually walked through one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasdrury Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 If it's to be connected to Bluetooth we buy hoardes of Jabra kit - UC Motion, evolves, pro 94xx range. all are very goood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted November 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 I'm after one that connects to a desk phone. Doesn't need to be wireless but prob has to have dual earphones rather than the DJ style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 You say to a deskphone - what kind of deskphone? RJ11 type connector? Who has deskphones! Go softphone and get yourself a Plantronics C725. Beautiful and awesome sound quality. Jabra is quite good, but it depends on what software client you're using. If it's Lync/SfB the -M designated units from Plantronics are the balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Maybe not relevant for Andrew but this may be for someone else in the market : I've been running one of these for the last three weeks. Very happy with it for calls and plenty good enough for back ground music in the office. It pairs with two simultaneous devices although it can remember four. I use it with Skype for Business on my laptop and my iPhone. You can toggle swap calls, take the incoming/kill the old, etc etc. 10 hours + talk time so I recharge once or possibly twice a week and just take the cable with me. Many at work are actually using the docking station though Sennheiser MB Pro 2 : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted November 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Mac, you are prob right. However, all calls done over Webex or Movi dial in. I can charge phone line as expenses so a dedicated line and a headset plugged into a DECT phone is what I'm after. The phone is something else I've got to get but as long as it has the plug socket for the headset, I don't suppose the modrlmatters all that much. I think. Although I will def research your recommendations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 http://www.exteradirect.co.uk/product/plantronics/savi-w720-uc-binaural-wireless-headset/781/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=products&utm_campaign=shopping&gclid=CImLwrzXsNACFQ2ZGwodK8EJPA I use one of those at home and it work. Connect a mobile to it and or your PC and or your home phone it does the lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted November 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Nice, but budget won't stretch that far, or rather expenses won't. About £50/60 is the target I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 We run a fairly large call centre, most of the staff use headsets (the older ones prefer a handset for some reason) so we go through quite a few, as with Mac, I'd stick to Plantronics, they can't (imo) be beaten for reliability, sound quality and therein value for money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Their warranty is also the best out there - they normally just send out replacements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
