Best Office Headphones recommendations

EPOS has a wide range of office and call center headsets and offers solutions suitable for different business needs. Especially call center headsets are designed for long-term use and crystal clear sound quality. If you need mobility, wireless office headsets and Bluetooth office headsets can be ideal options. Single-sided office headsets are a great option for employees to stay connected because they leave one ear exposed. Double-sided Bluetooth office headsets provide high-quality sound through both ears, especially in noisy environments. Business headsets often offer multiple connectivity options, high durability, and features optimized for professional needs. This broad range of EPOS provides solutions to suit every office environment and need.

How many decibels of office headphones are used in the work area?

The decibel level of office headsets used in the work area depends on a variety of factors, but the range generally considered a safe sound level is between 60-85 decibels (dB). High sound levels can cause hearing loss, especially with prolonged exposure. For this reason, occupational health and safety organizations such as OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) have set specific guidelines for maximum noise levels in the workplace.

Headphones often have built-in audio editing features and limits to control volume. Additionally, some modern office headsets have features that can automatically adjust the volume to protect users from loud noise levels.

How many hours a day should office headsets be used?

How many hours a day office headsets will be used may vary depending on the nature of the job, the individual's needs and comfort level. However, since long-term and loud headphone use may cause hearing loss or hearing problems such as tinnitus, resting at regular intervals is recommended instead of continuous use.

When using headphones at high volumes, health experts recommend resting your ears for at least 5-10 minutes after every 60 minutes of use. This may help reduce the risk of hearing loss. In addition, it is important to clean the headset regularly and use it hygienically to prevent other possible discomforts that the headset may cause, such as ear infection or skin irritation. EPOS headphones also protect the ear against acoustic shocks because they are produced with Active Gard technology.

What should you pay attention to when buying an office headset?

It is important to pay attention to many factors when buying office headsets. First, you should clarify your intended use. For example, call center headsets should generally have high sound quality and noise canceling features. If you want freedom of movement, wireless office headsets or bluetooth office headsets may be ideal. Single-sided office headsets can be a good option for staying in touch with your surroundings, while double-sided Bluetooth office headsets provide greater isolation and high-quality sound through both ears. Corporate headsets must be long-lasting and durable, but also have extra features such as compatibility with different devices. Finally, comfort and ergonomics are also important factors that should not be overlooked when considering long working hours. EPOS headphones are extremely effective in terms of both ergonomics and durability. These two factors are taken into consideration in every office headset design. It is important that the headset has a lightweight design for long-term use. Apart from cable durability, EPOS also takes care to ensure that the ear capsules are durable. In the EPOS IMPACT series, the ear capsule is supported by steel in some models, while aluminum support dominates in others. Steel-supported products are EPOS IMPACT 200 series, while aluminum-supported ones are EPOS IMPACT 600 series office headsets.

Is ANC important in office headsets?

Active Noise Canceling (ANC) is an important factor in office headphones, especially if you work in noisy environments. ANC for call center headsets provides clearer communication by reducing background noise, which is critical for customer satisfaction and business efficiency. Wireless office headsets and bluetooth office headsets also often offer this feature, so you get a high-quality audio experience even when you're on the go. The ANC feature allows you to focus by cutting out distracting background noise. With dual-sided bluetooth office headsets, ANC offers the best experience because both ears are isolated. The ANC feature in corporate headsets ensures maximum concentration during meetings and calls. All in all, ANC is a valuable feature for many different types of office headsets. In line with this need , EPOS SC 660 office headset or EPOS ADAPT 160 ANC wired office headset can be preferred.

How to turn on ANC in office headphones?

EPOS office headsets have a user-friendly interface and ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) can usually be easily turned on and off via a button or software. You can activate this feature by pressing an ANC button on the headset. You can also turn on this feature through EPOS's own software. EPOS software is downloaded from the website. After opening the software, you can find the ANC option in the features menu and enable it from there. Support can also be obtained from the user manual. If you have lost the user manual, you can view the usage of the product on the EPOS website.

What does DECT mean in office headsets?

DECT stands for "Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications". This technology is often used in devices such as cordless phones and office headsets. DECT allows devices to communicate wirelessly with a base station and generally operates at radio frequencies such as 1.8 GHz or 1.9 GHz.

DECT technology provides many advantages, especially when used in office environments. For example, features such as high sound quality, low latency and high security standards make DECT popular. Additionally, DECT technology allows many users to work with different devices in the same physical space, making it ideal for multiple users in workplaces. EPOS SDW series are DECT products that can be connected to 3 devices at the same time and have a base station with LED lights. Corporate headsets are also among the top-tier products.

DECT headsets usually come with a base station or dock. This base station charges your headset and helps establish communication between the headset and the host device (for example, a phone system or computer). However, DECT headsets are only effective at a certain distance. In the EPOS SDW series, this range is 180 meters, which is above the standards.
