Office and Mobile Wireless Headsets From Jabra - Some Must-Have Features
I'm going to skip the 'teaser' approach and cut to the chase right away. Three really important features or capabilities you should consider when buying a wireless headset are:

Connection/Transmission Technology Range Noise Reduction
Now here's some detail on these three.
The first thing you should consider when buying a wireless headset is the transmission technology used by the wireless headset to communicate with the Ph Meters).
Bluetooth comes in three flavors, Class 1, Class 2, and (surprise!) Class 3. Bluetooth Class 1 devices have a maximum range of about 100 Meters with current technology. Bluetooth Class 2 devices have a range of 10 Meters. That's about 33 feet. Most mobile or cell Ph Meters. Some newer mobile phones are now using Bluetooth Class 1 and therefore have their range extended to about 25 Meters when communicating with another Class 1 device. Bluetooth Class 3 has a range of about 1 Meter or 3 feet and is not used for wireless headsets. Jabra's newest mobile headset, the Jabra Go 6470 uses Class 1 technology so you'll get extended range.
Another critically important feature is noise reduction. For the convenience and comfort of your listeners, you will want to reduce the background noise from your surroundings. You don't want to turn the act of having a phone conversation with you into an annoying challenge or a hearing test. There are basically three technologies in play here. One is noise Filtering; another is noise cancelling; and the third is yelling very loudly. From my personal non-scientific sampling, it appears that the last is the most used. Noise Filtering is part of the electronic circuitry and it can be pretty good. But, noise cancelling is the superior technology and it is much better at reducing background noise. Noise cancelling works by sampling the actual background and then electronically cancelling that background out. You can usually tell a real noise cancelling microphone by the small hole in the microphone boom near the microphone and usually on the other side from it. This hole is used to 'retrieve' the background environMent. The Jabra GN9350e, GN9330e, and the Jabra GN9125 Flex boom headsets are all noise cancelling. With the introduction of the new Jabra Pro 9470 and Jabra Go 6470 headsets, Jabra has taken noise reduction technology to a new level with their "Noise Blackout" technology which actually uses two microphones. One of these two microphones picks up the background and that background signal is then used electronically for an amazingly effective noise cancelling.
Noise Filtering is perfectly fine if you are in a typical, relatively quiet, office environMent and especially if you have a private office. Noise filtering technology is a bit less expensive and you can save to by going with a noise filtering headset like the Jabra GN9125 Soundtube. But once you are dealing with a consistently noisy background environment, and that includes the person with the annoying laugh sitting near you, you would be best advised to go with a wireless headset that uses state-of-the-art noise cancelling microphone technology.
