Stereo vs Mono Headsets
While mono (single ear) headsets allow you to stay aware of your surroundings, stereo (double ear) headsets offer distinct advantages for those looking to enhance call quality and focus.
With audio in both ears, stereo headsets reduce distractions, allowing you to stay fully engaged with the conversation.
Stereo audio provides a more natural and detailed listening experience, making it easier to understand tones and nuances in speech.
Stereo headsets often come with advanced noise-canceling features, making them better at blocking out background noise for uninterrupted calls.
The benefits of wired headsets
Wireless headsets cause hours of frustration for our clients training staff, troubleshooting issues, and degrading call quality which ultimately affects their client experience. Wired headsets solve all of these problems.
Call quality
A wired connection is low latency, with high quality audio and is better supported by laptop and desktop devices.
Reliability
Staff never have to mess around with complicated Bluetooth and sound settings.
Cost
Wired headsets are much cheaper than their wireless counterparts.
