You also have to worry about the headset running out of battery.Yes, most headphones have a microphone, but theyre typically an afterthought rather than a key feature.
![]() If youve been relying on a sub-par microphone setup for your conference calls, this guide has you covered. Headsets are typically on-ear headphones because of their thin profile and lightweight, but we also selected an over-ear option for people who prefer that style. One that feels just a little too heavy at first can get very annoying half an hour into a call, so all of the ones in this guide are under 10oz (about three quarters of a pound). Youll be able to focus more easily on the other side of the conversation if everything around you is tuned out. Critically, the noises that get blocked out by your headphones can still get picked up by your headsets microphone, so you should still be mindful of where youre calling from. But, our guide includes a wireless option if you feel more comfortable walking around while you attend virtual meetings. Its over-ear style will prevent outside sound from leaking in, which helps make up for the headsets lack of noise-cancelling. Its unidirectional microphone is highly flexible, so you can find the right distance from your mouth to sound clear but not too loud. Some headsets have volume buttons on one of the earcups, so theyre awkward to use, especially on a video chat. ![]() Over-ear headphones are larger and heavier than on-ear headphones and earbuds in general, so its just a trade-off to consider. This design decision reduced the headsets weight to 3.9 ounces, and allows you to hear ambient sounds in the room more easily. Thats important because the NC-181VMs headphone does cancel noise. The controller also has a mute button, which you can press if you need to cough, or address someone in the same room without interrupting your call. The on-ear headphones use a technology called HD Voice, which extends the frequency range you hear. The headset also uses a custom audio filter called PeakStop to prevent loud noises from hurting your ears. These headphones also have noise cancellation, which will allow you to focus on your call more easily. Youll need to get one separately, which is a little frustrating. Unlike the other headsets on this list, this setup enables the CS520 to be used wirelessly. ![]() DECT also encrypts the audio transmitted between the headset and base, so your conversation stays secure. Because the CS520 doesnt have a cable, its volume control and call controls are on the left earcup, which can be a little awkward.
