Sound Quality
Sound quality is the most important quality. If you can’t hear or be heard, then the call you are making is pointless. Poor headsets may have static, poor microphones, speakers, or poor placement of those elements. If you’ve ever made a call and the person on the other end is complaining about not being able to hear you, it is usually a sign of a bad headset.
Noise Canceling
Another factor that makes sound quality good is physical and electronic enhancements. Physical enhancements help block out unwanted noise and wind with screens or filters on the headset. On the electronic level, there are noise canceling features. Noise canceling features are becoming pretty standard, although not every brand has a good noise canceling system as others. Test it out or read about other users’ experiences before settling. (more…)
