What are the best noise-cancelling headsets for a loud call centre – Daniel Gniazdo of Jabra explains
Contact centres can get loud. To deal with the background noise, call centre employees may opt for noise-cancelling headsets that help them hear and be heard.
What separates a busy contact centre from a regular office is the amount of calls people handle on a daily basis. It’s kind of in the name. Contact centre staff spend their days talking on the phone, surrounded by a lot of noise from their colleagues.
The job of a contact centre employee quite literally depends on being able to have clear, noise-free conversations with customers and clients. So it’s not too surprising that noise-cancelling headsets are some of the most sought-after tools for a call center. It’s as important to make sure the customer hears you clearly as it is to reduce the amount of noise around you.
That’s where dedicated noise-cancelling headsets for contact centres come in. They help you solve two main contact centre concerns: “Will they hear me?” and “Will I hear them?”
Will they hear me: Headsets with noise-cancelling microphones
To make sure the customers can hear you well despite the noise, you want to invest in a headset with noise-cancelling microphones. These filter out the noise and make sure that only your voice is transmitted.
The corded Jabra Biz 2300 and wireless Jabra Pro 9400 both offer noise-cancelling microphones.
In addition, Jabra’s corded contact centre headsets have microphones with “air shock” protection that prevents unwanted breathing noise from disturbing the conversation.
Will I hear them: Headsets with HD voice and passive noise cancellation
It’s equally important for contact centre employees to be able to focus on the conversation instead of being distracted by loud noise. Noise-cancelling headsets for call centers are specially designed to deliver clear, intelligible audio. They offer HD voice technology that makes conversations sound lifelike and vibrant.
Some of them, like the Jabra Biz 2400 II have specially designed ear cushions that reduce ambient noise. This helps you truly block out all distractions and focus on the call at hand.
Will the headset work with my other devices?
Another common concern is whether the headset will work with your existing equipment. After all, there are different connection types to consider and many different brands of communication platforms.
Fortunately, nowadays it’s possible to find the right headset for any device. Most call center headsets offer multiple connection options or come in different versions that work with exactly the type of connection you have – whether it’s a standard 3.5mm plug, a USB port on your computer, or a Quick Disconnect (QD) cable. If you prefer a wireless headset, you can find both DECT and Bluetooth versions.
Newer contact centre headsets are also certified to work with all communication platforms, whether you’re using Avaya, Cisco, Microsoft, or something else entirely.
