Web-based audio and video conferencing has become more and more prevalent over the past 2-3 years. Businesses both big and small, have been consuming the technology rapidly, the ability for remote or regional offices to communicate with each other, international suppliers and customers being able to have web meetings rather than commuting large distances and spending money on airfares, has resulted in great ROI not just in cost, but in time and business efficiency. Video calls for personal use between family and friends in different states and territories has exploded over the past 5-10 years. With the communications and conferencing platforms readily available and at competitive price points, the limiting factor which can impact on your call quality or call experience is your headset.
Most laptop computers and mobile devices, including mobile phones and tablets have a microphone and speaker, the quality of which is somewhat questionable. It is definitely more convenient to have an external headset, which will improve the clarity of the call for all parties. There are headsets available on CircleBC Store, that include both the headphones with a built in microphone. You don’t have to sit close to the microphone on the desk, or have your head close to the speaker, the headset just sits on your head, the speakers cover your ears, with the mouthpiece, near your, you guessed it, mouth. Any problems associated with hearing or being heard on a call are solved.
Now, like with anything and everything, not every headset performs the same and the quality does vary between brands and models. CircleBC Store stocks a range of purpose built and designed video and audio conferencing headsets, that are not your standard device you would get with your iPhone or Tablet. The two top brands that CircleBC Store sell and recommend are Logitech and Jabra, there are a range of models at different price points, but even the base models perform well.
One of the main features you should consider when purchasing a headset, is that they have noise cancelling functionality, when this is available external noise around you will no longer impact on your conversation. These headsets use Active Noise Control, using more than just one microphone near your ear, which projects an anti noise signal, the ensures that background noise is less of an issue, resulting in much improved sound quality.
