Telephone headsets allow the user free movement of their hands while talking and listening on the telephone. This is particularly useful for call centre operators and in office environments where there are constant incoming calls and the operator is also required to use a computer or write notes at the same time.

Headsets can be purchased with a single ear piece (monaural) or over the head with two head phones (binaural) to give a better sound reception often in stereo. A single ear piece is more flexible as it allows the operator to listen to other people in the room while maintaining contact on the telephone.

A range of wireless or cordless headsets is now available which can allow you to roam up to 100 metres from the base unit. These types of units can also be purchased in binaural or monaural formats and there are products that allow multiple headsets to share a single base for effective hot-desking or multi shift working.

Bluetooth models are available which will work with both your mobile and office phones. USB phones are also available for using Internet telephone formats.

Noise cancelling headsets have the ability to block out noise using high density foam and layers of noise cancelling materials. They also cancel the noise using properties of sound waves such as amplitude and frequency. They are able to filter out noise that normal headsets can't.

There are many accessories that can be purchased for telephone headsets including supervisor cables, ear cushions, ear buds, extension cables and voice tubes.
