Headsets For Remote Working

In March 2020, the world was turned upside-down with COVID-19, forcing some businesses to close and many to ask staff to work from home.

The immediate fallout from a telecoms point of view was how to keep people in touch with one another, which saw a massive spike in the use of video conferencing platforms, such as Microsoft Teams.

We also saw a rise in companies making their connectivity backbone more robust, due to increased use, with upgrades to Ethernet fibre lines; as well as some companies making the switch to IP telephony.

But, behind the scenes, homeworkers soon found an issued in their new, often noisier, working environments, and we also found ourselves distributing quality headsets to remote working teams.

Although there are many telecoms-specific headsets available, we are big fans of the Jabra Evolve2, which offers exceptional audio, outstanding noise isolation, as well as superior comfort.
