The choice between a wired or wireless headset mostly depends on your work style—whether you are desk-based or frequently on the move personnel.
In general, there are two main types: wired and wireless. But within each type, there are some unique features. Let’s take a closer look at each option and see what they offer.
With the arrival of 4G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, many thought it was outdated, and yet... The wired headset has not said its last word! Physically connected to the device you are using (computer, mobile, office phone, etc.), it is perfect if you spend most of your time behind your screen without moving.
Here, there is no question about going into details (we have a page dedicated to that here). The goal for us is rather to introduce them to you! So, without transition, get to know them:
USB
USB-A or USB-C: which one goes with your PCs and Macs!
JACK
It rhymes with versatility: PC/Mac or mobile devices, it suits everyone
RJ
In RJ9 or RJ11 connector, it is essential for landline telephony
QD
It’s a universal socket: you choose the connection!
Some wired models include a dual USB + 3.5mm jack connector. With them, with just one headset, you can switch between your PC/Mac and your mobile devices!
With the rise of smartphones and streaming music, wireless headphones have become super popular! Easily paired with your computer, phone, or tablet, they’re perfect if you like to move around during calls and online meetings.
