It’s not new news that we’re a pretty mobile society. So many businesses are ditching wired phones and opting to have employees either bring their own devices or are doling out company-managed ones. With mobile VoIP being as inexpensive as it is, it makes sense that businesses are putting more money on their bottom lines while boosting productivity levels. Of course, with the increased use of mobile handsets comes the need for good equipment, and without good equipment you may as well just give up trying to talk to anyone at all.  

Take headsets for example. Headsets are a useful hands-free accessory for any executive who frequently speaks on the phone, so businesses often provide them to employees. However, while headsets can be ergonomic and convenient, investing in bad ones could have some bad health effects on the user. If a headset fits too tightly, you might experience headaches and soreness.

Other symptoms, such as ear irritation, may occur regardless of how your headset is fitted. If you wear your headset for hours a day, especially if it's a two-piece ear bud model, your ears can grow irritated from the buds. However, these health hazards are preventable by finding good fitting headsets that are appropriate to each user.

As Steve Jobs (News - Alert) once said, “Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.”

Headsets are no exception. A well-designed headset must have the latest audio technology, innovative features that make it easy to set up, use and upgrade – as well as looking smart and feeling comfortable.

There are many factors to consider when choosing headsets for use with mobile VoIP. Design, durability, noise cancellation capabilities and compatibility are just a few of the considerations you need to make.

Understand and consider the needs first, and then and only then will you figure out  what will work best for your staff.
