Computer Headsets Explained

A computer headset is an essential purchase if you want to use your PC or laptop to talk to friends over VoIP or listen to music.  The device connects to your computer via a USB port, or with a jack that has two analogue ports. The benefits of a USB computer headset include:

• Crisper sound reproduction
• Fewer cords, less fuss
• Can be made cord-free with a wireless USB/Bluetooth adaptor

Benefits of a Standard Computer Headset:

• Easy on the pocket – if you don’t need mobility, why pay extra?
• Readily available

Corded or wireless, which is better? - There are two key areas that differentiate a corded and wireless computer headset - cost and the ability to move around.  Corded models are the less expensive of the two, but mobility is restricted to as far as the cord will stretch.  On the flip side, wireless computer headsets let you move about freely while listening to tunes or talking over VoIP with perfect clarity. Wireless computer headsets are truly the ultimate in mobility.

Standard connection computer headsets, what to look out for - standard headsets with jack connectors are generally cheaper. For very basic communication, or entry level users, a standard jack headset will do everything you need. Connection is simple and these versions are compatible with most computers.  Virtually any gadget can be connected with a standard 3.5 mm jack, meaning you can connect the speaker (line-out) plug to a MP3 or CD player without any hassles. You can also connect the microphone (line-in) plug to any digital recording device. However, sound quality can be lacking with these types of computer headset in comparison to the USB connection option.

USB computer headsets – easy connection & set up - USB headsets can be slightly more expensive, but the sound reproduction is great. If you want a wireless computer headset, a USB or Bluetooth connector can be purchased to achieve this.  There is only one connector point to plug into the computer, so it’s very easy to set up and install a USB computer headset.

Maximise the comfort of your computer headset - brands like Plantronics, Jabra, GN Netcom, and Sennheiser use the highest quality padding to make certain you have greatest comfort for prolonged periods.
Wearing style is also something that comes into play when selecting a computer headset.  Some models stretch over the head while others loop behind the ears, but really, it just comes down to personal preference as to which is the right one for you.

Mono or stereo headsets, which are better? - Basically, do you want to hear in one ear or in both? A mono computer headset has one ear piece and a microphone boom for talking. Stereo headsets have two earpieces. If you’re going to be mostly talking over VoIP, the mono style is a good choice.  But, if you’re going to be listening to lots of music as well, a stereo computer headset will offer a better listening experience.
