As the Laptop computer becomes even more of an essential business tool, we find ourselves working remotely more often or even using a Laptop permanently in the office. It’s no surprise that the demand for wireless and corded Laptop headsets continues to rise as the manufacturers bring out more and more models to ensure your communications in the working day are more productive.

Connecting a headset to a Laptop PC

To connect a headset to a Laptop is usually via the USB port, in the case of wired headsets, the bottom cable of the headset has a hard  wired USB end so just “Plug n Play” really. Although you can connect via the Sound Card too, this is common in the Skype and Domestic end of the market.

The wireless headset often uses a USB dongle, a simple device which looks like a memory stick which communicates with the base station and charger of the headset.

How do I choose the correct laptop headset for me?

“Wired or Wireless”?

This choice still comes down to personal preference and as always, cost! The advantages of wireless headsets speak for themselves really.

Advantages of a wireless Laptop headset are:

1. Hands free,
2. Convenience – no wires to fall over
3. Range – You can roam away from your laptop or PC (up to 100m+)
4. Lightweight and comfortable (although this can also be said of wired headsets too!)

Disadvantages are:

1. Cost is usually higher althought the gap is now smaller with more and more purchasing wireless.
2. Repairs, consequently are higher if required (life of a wireless headset is 2-3 years if using every day Mon-Fri.
3. Sound quality can be slightly impared than wired headsets as there is a digital connection, rather than a wired one to your computer (but this is less and less with the latest models in our opinion)
4. The headset relies on a battery for powering it (but so do Laptops if being used remotely!)

Wired or Corded headsets for your Laptop PC

Advantages are:

1. Technology is sound and tested (80% of the market is wired or corded)
2. Cost is often less expensive
3. relatively inexpensive to replace if needed
4. Build quality is often more robust and so withstands more knocks and falls etc
5. No battery required as its powered by the laptop directly

Disadvantages are:

1. The main one is freedom to move, as you are connected to your laptop by a wire with about 2m of length, although it varies depending on the brand. Obviously convenience is affected when using a wired headset.
