A reminder that the words in this blog are all my own.
I work from home 3-4 days a week and am on many, many teleconferences literally any time of the day or night.
One of the must haves if you do work from home is a good headset.
My headset of choice is a Plantronics CS361N, because
- It is wireless – and if you want to make a coffee run whist on the phone you can,
- It is “over the head” dual ear – I like to focus on the call if I can and despite the fact I am in a small street it is at time, not very quite
- It will last many, many hours continuously – and I have needed it, hour upon hour of back to back meetings I think in the 3 years I have had it, it has gone flat just once
- It has a mute button on the headset – which I use when I am looking for that coffee etc. and I can answer a question when asked
Yes, it’s expensive – approx AU$400 depending on where you get it from, it is worth it.
After 3 years of using it – the headset part finally broke apart – and I ordered a replacement headset, which you can do (or even a spare headset if you really want to have one). It didn’t work. after calling the help desk of the manufacturer, they replaced it, no questions asked.
Thanks for reading
