Editor's Notes

October 13, 2020:

Generally speaking, office headsets are relatively boring, but that doesn't mean they have to be uncomfortable deliver poor audio. In fact, the relatively recent Logitech Zone is stylish and lightweight, in addition to its above-average frequency response range and reasonable low-end output. Similarly, if you're looking for immersive and reliable audio, the Logitech G Pro X is also worth a look. It's intended as a gaming headset, but as long also does a great job at blocking out distractions.

The Plantronics Blackwire 3225 is reasonably affordable, lightweight option that many call center employees find comfortable for hours at a time, but if you want something a little more substantial, it's an easy upgrade to the Plantronics Blackwire 5220, or if you want to go with another highly popular brand, the Jabra Evolve 40. The Sennheiser SC 660 and Jabra 2400 II Duo are a bit more costly, but they happen to be recently refined versions of longtime favorites, and their premium, durable construction makes it easy to see why.

For minimalists who need to pay attention to their surroundings at work, it's hard to top the single-sided Sennheiser SC 30, and bust executives with multiple lines to manage will appreciate the Plantronics Savi W730, which can connect with three devices at the same time and promises an impressive wireless range with little to no distortion.

If you do a lot of teleconferencing, you've probably heard of Jabra and Plantronics. For the last few years these two companies have had somewhat of a stranglehold on the office headset market, and neither is going away anytime soon. Jabra's 2400 II is one of their most advanced, and the Evolve 40 is right there behind it. Meanwhile, the Voice 550 is one of the best single-sided choices around. Plantronics offers some very well-engineered options as well; their Blackwire series is packed with advanced features and includes one of the few pairs of earbud-like headphones with a boom mic that's specifically designed for use at the office.

Sennheiser also has somewhat of a presence in the headset world, and MPow is a budget-friendly company that puts out not exactly premium-quality headphones, but high-value ones for the cost. If you're looking for headphones that sound better playing music while still offering great phone and voice redording technology, there are plenty available, as well as many that work particularly well with personal computers for both work and play.
