Let&#8217;s get to it.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Key #1 Location<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Think about the location you will be using your headset in. Are you using it for jogging in a park, working in an office, or talking on the go? Chances are, you have a couple places where you take calls or listen to music most often. If you plan to use it outdoor, a Bluetooth headset with a strong microphone and noise cancellation technology is a good choice to go for.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Key #2 Talk Time<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Take talk time into consideration. If you are a salesperson, you may want to have over 8-10 hours of talk time. Be aware that there&#8217;s a tradeoff between the battery life and the size of your Bluetooth headset. So enjoying a lighter headset means you might have to charge it more often.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Key #3 Standard USB Port<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Make sure your <a href=\"\/headsets\/bluetooth?s30_usb=3859\" onclick=\"ga('send', 'event', 'voip-insider-blog-post', 'click', 'headset has a standard USB port');\">headset has a standard USB port<\/a> that lets you charge from a powered USB port on a desktop or laptop easily.

This feature will save you a lot of time without needing to manually switch back and forth.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Key #5 Binaural vs Monaural<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Typically, <a href=\"\/headsets\/bluetooth?s30_one_ear=3852&amp;s30_two_ear=3857\" onclick=\"ga('send', 'event', 'voip-insider-blog-post', 'click', 'binaural options');\">binaural options<\/a> are suitable for people who need to concentrate on a call while <a href=\"\/headsets\/bluetooth?s30_one_ear=3853\" onclick=\"ga('send', 'event', 'voip-insider-blog-post', 'click', 'monaural headsets');\">monaural headsets<\/a> are good for people who need to be aware of what&#8217;s happening around him\/her while on a call with someone.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Key #6 Sound Technology<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Pay attention to the sound technology your headset has to offer. For example, if you plan to talk in a windy outdoor area, <a href=\"\/sennheiser-presence-uc-ml-wireless-bluetooth-headset\" onclick=\"ga('send', 'event', 'voip-insider-blog-post', 'click', 'WindSage technology and Sound Focus technology');\">WindSage technology and Sound Focus technology<\/a> will come in handy.
