Telephone Headsets for Desk Phones: A Guide
What you need to know when choosing a telephone headset for your desk phone.
Summary
Telephone headsets connect to desk phones for hands-free calling. Check compatibility with your phone model, choose mono or stereo, and consider cord length and comfort. Budget options from Mairdi and others can suit reception and office use.
Why use a telephone headset?
Telephone headsets free your hands for typing and notes while on a call and can reduce neck strain. They are common in reception, support and offices that use traditional desk phones. Plantronics (Poly), Jabra and EPOS are well-known brands; value options can provide reliable voice quality and comfort at lower cost.
Compatibility and features
Headsets connect via a plug (e.g. 2.5 mm or RJ9) or an adaptor that fits your phone. Always verify compatibility with your phone make and model. Mono (one earpiece) is typical for reception; stereo (both ears) can help in noisier environments. Consider cord length, quick-disconnect for sharing, and in-line mute/volume.
