Wired Headsets: Why Are They Needed?

What does it take to win with people? Generally, good conversations are the foundation of good relationships. This mantra best applies when you are engaged in a call. Because you cannot see the person on the other side, impressive, good sound quality is a must. In today’s world of Zoom meetings and web conference calls, wired headsets with good audio quality have become a vital part of every online meeting.

While the market can always give you a variety of good-quality headsets with noise-cancellation features made by well-known manufacturers like Poly (formerly Plantronics), Jabra, Yealink, Logitech and EPOS you should always narrow your choices based on your needs.

Wired Headsets Vs. Headphones

Do not get confused – wired headsets and headphones are entirely two different things. There are a multitude of people who still get twisted and clouded over their differences. The best way to differentiate them is to understand their functionality and purpose.

You use headphones primarily to listen to music. Headsets, on the other hand, are used more as an enhancement for listening and communicating. And because they are hands-free, wireless headsets allow you to communicate even while driving a car or eating breakfast.

The significant and probably the most consistent difference between a headset and a headphone is the headset’s attached microphone. While business headsets may cost more than headphones, the benefits far outweigh the price.

Wired Vs. Wireless Headsets

There is an ongoing debate between wireless headsets and wired USB headsets – and it may not end soon. It can be tricky to choose the better product, but it is crucial to know your options so you can arrive at an informed decision.

Better Audio Quality

While the market today provides a plethora of high-quality products of wireless and corded USB headsets, it always boils down to better sound quality. Wired headsets almost always deliver better audio because they use analog signals, which can handle more data (more commonly known as bandwidth) than their wireless counterparts. Simply put, the higher the bandwidth, the clearer the sound.

With analog, you get unlimited bandwidth, so you can extend your resolutions without compromising sound quality. On the other hand, digital signals are limited and have fixed bandwidth.

In terms of noise cancellation, a wireless headset is a better alternative. That is because digital sounds have a greater signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). SNR compares the level of background noise and desired signal. So, a greater SNR ratio signifies more signal than ambient noise from your office environment.

Power Source

While fully charged wireless headsets can provide extended periods of talk time, they are limited by their power source, meaning they are highly dependent on battery life. With wired headsets, you do not need batteries or chargers, thus, giving corded headsets unlimited playtime compared to other headsets.

Ease Of Use

Wired headsets are easy to use, with most having a plug-and-play setup. You simply plug your headset into a USB port on your computer or connect to your phone, and you are ready to use it.

Wireless headsets need time to pair with your device before you can use it. It is prone to interference, connectivity, and pairing issues.

Choosing The Best Wired Headsets for Work

Now that you know the basic concept of headsets, it is equally important to know your available options when choosing the best business headset for your phone calls.

Wearing Style

Generally, corded headsets should deliver the kind of functionality you need in managing calls and, at the same time, provide comfort and style. To identify the best wired headset for business calls, you’ll want to consider wearing style. Manufacturers provide multiple wearing styles to suit your needs.

  • Single Ear

When you need to interact with people in your office or business and need a comfortable way of handling all-day meetings and calls, single-ear headsets should be your go-to corded headset.

  • Dual Ear

For the best audio possible, this headset lets you focus more on your calls and meetings with both ears covered. Hence, you get less distraction in a loud environment.

  • Over the ear, behind the ear and behind the neck

If you want a smaller, lighter-weight headset, this option can give you the comfort you need while only sacrificing a small about of audio quality as you rid yourself of full sized speakers.

Noise Canceling

When you’re looking for the best wired headset for work, you should never sacrifice your microphone quality during meetings and calls. Studies over the years have shown the thin line between background noise and processing messages.

Hence, the need for high-quality audio with better noise-canceling technology is crucial in every aspect of online conversations. Choosing wired headsets with noise-canceling technology gives you a better phone and web conferencing experiences.

High-grade cable-connected headsets use noise-canceling microphones that enable you to send your messages with a clearer voice, making your voice calls natural and more professional. This, in turn, maintains a level of trust and confidence with your audience. When people understand you better, they will like you and will recognize you as a more trustworthy resource. The quality of your audio is the benchmark of how people judge your content or message.

Functionality

When choosing a wired headset, you need to understand your purpose for using it. Whether it is for home or business use, a USB or Quick Disconnect (QD) headset with signature audio quality provides a variety of options to choose from.

If you are connecting to a standard telephone using a headset adapter and QD wired headset, your need is having a hands free option on calls without sacrificing any sound quality from the telephone.  If you are connecting to a computer via USB, your need is the same, having a hands free option that produces great quality sound for calls.  Either connection option with the desired headset will give you the functionality you are looking for from a wired headset.  Wired headsets give you great sound, noise cancellation, and the ability to be hands free.

Wired Headsets for Business Applications

Manufacturers like Poly (Formerly Plantronics), Jabra, Yealink, Logitech and EPOS makes it easier for you so you can focus more on your business. Your budget should never come in between. With wired headsets, you can get more done without a hole in your pocket.

Wired Headsets for Home Use

Professional grade manufacturers of headsets have always provided quality headsets for call centers. The present work environment has transitioned large portions of staff to home, which require the same high-grade sound quality with new needs in technology. Corded headsets for home office use provide the same business-level functionality and comfort as a typical call center setup with added noise canceling to help minimize dogs barking and babies crying in the background.

Whether you’re searching for the best quality wired headset for work or play, you will find wired headsets have the most advanced sound equipment that suits your preferences and professional requirements.

ANC will monitor your background noise and create an opposite sound wave of that audio and it into your speaker. This will greatly reduce background noise in a wired headset to help you hear better and stay focused on your caller.
