How to choose a Bluetooth headset for business VoIP calls (UK guide)

Almost any Bluetooth headset with a microphone works for business calls on Silux Call. The right one depends on where you take your calls.

1. Earbuds: for calls on the move

Light and always in your pocket. Good choices: Apple AirPods, Beats, Samsung Galaxy Buds, Google Pixel Buds, Huawei FreeBuds, Sony, Bose, JBL, Jabra Elite, Anker Soundcore and Nothing Ear.

2. Office headsets: for all-day calls

A boom microphone and long battery life for desk work and call queues. Look at Jabra Evolve and Engage, Poly (Plantronics) Voyager, Sennheiser and EPOS, Logitech Zone, Microsoft, Cisco and Yealink.

3. Over-ear headphones: for noisy places

Noise cancelling helps you hear in busy offices and on trains: Sony WH-1000XM, Bose QuietComfort, Apple AirPods Max, Beats Studio Pro and Sennheiser Momentum.

4. Speakerphones: for small team calls

Jabra Speak, Poly Sync, Anker PowerConf and Yealink CP pick up several people round a desk.

What to look for

• A good microphone: boom or beam-forming mics keep you clear in noise.
• Multipoint: connect to your phone and laptop at once, so you can take a call on either.
• Battery life: all-day talk time if you are on the phone a lot.
• Comfort: you may wear it for hours.

Whatever you choose, Silux Call lets you switch a call between the phone, the speaker and your headset at any time, and callers always see your business number. Set it up in minutes.
