Bluetooth Headsets for Video Calls

Bluetooth headsets provide wireless movement during meetings. Confirm that the computer recognizes both the headphone output and microphone input.

Wired Headsets for Meetings

Wired headsets provide a stable connection and require no charging. USB-C, USB-A and 3.5 mm options are available for compatible computers and mobile devices.

Noise-Cancelling Microphones

A noise-cancelling microphone or ENC system attempts to reduce environmental sound captured during calls. This is different from headphone ANC, which reduces noise heard by the wearer.

Headphones for Zoom Meetings

For Zoom, Teams and other meeting applications, select the correct microphone and speaker in the application settings. Mute and volume controls can also improve meeting convenience.
