Headsets and Technology

Headsets and Headphones, accessories that were in fashion in the 80”s have come back, now redesigned with state-of-the-art technology and superb design.

After having been traded for ear buds, smaller and more discreet, headsets have returned to scene as the latest trend in technology.

The new headset models are frequently foldable, more convenient to carry and take with you and are available in wireless or wired connections, USB or P3 ports. Thus, connection can be made to many electronic devices: smart-phones, computers, televisions, tablets, and notebooks.

These headsets are extremely popular for leisure moments at home, playing games or watching movies or series, in the gym to exercise or during your work time especially on online meetings.

What to observe when buying a headset for Zoom video calls?

Connection type

Common wireless accessories are not the right alternative for the home office, since they may be susceptible to interference and delays in sound transmission, making it difficult for Zoom to communicate between colleagues and clients. The ideal models are headsets with Bluetooth technology or with USB connection made for professional use by Felitron. They last longer and are more robust than the traditional P2 plug, ensuring sound quality for longer.

 

Comfort

The Zoom headset is a piece of equipment that will be part of your day-to-day life, so it needs to be pleasant to wear for a period of time.

Therefore, it should be ergonomic, have ear protection and padding, so that it does not cause discomfort during the workday. After all, no one wants to have a headache after a long meeting, right?

 

Technology

You can't control the noise from your neighbor's construction site, the dogs barking in the street, or the cars passing by. It is possible to reduce these nuisances with noise reduction technology.  The trend is that headsets for online meetings at Zoom, for example, become increasingly intelligent, offering excellent audio quality.

Hints for the correct use of professional headsets

• Store your headsets in a clean and dry place in its own packaging, and avoid dusty areas or having them lose in pouches or backpacks.
• During an online meeting, increase your volume level only in case of extreme difficulty on hearing your customer.
• Consider comfort when choosing headsets for intensive use. Look for professional models that adjust to the size of your head, with comfortable ear cushions to facilitate usage during your working hours.
• The supra-aural models are usually more comfortable and ergonomic than phones of auricular insertion.
• Pay attention when using headsets during other activities especially walking the streets, to avoid accidents.
• Handle your headset with clean hands, and if the ear-cushions are of silicone or rubber, at least once a week clean them with a soft cloth using alcohol 70°.
• During work intervals or when there is no Zoom meeting, try to be without a headset. And never sleep with your headsets on.
• To avoid complications, before purchasing make sure that the supplier offers technical assistance like Felitron does.
• Check out sound intensity. Ask people that are close to you if they can hear the sound coming from your phones. If they can, this means that your sound level is above the recommended 85 decibels (dB). In this case, reduce volume.
• If you have the habit to listen to very loud volumes, diminish sound intensity to protect your hearing.
• Muffling, buzz, squeaks, or any other uncomfortable audio sensation when removing the phones may indicate high volume exposure. Reduce volume and try to remain without the headset.
• Use your headset for a maximum 2 hour-period. After this period take a 10-minute break.
