Choose a Call Center Headset by Device
Start with where calls happen: a computer, desk phone, or mobile device. Confirm its headset connection before comparing microphone features, fit, and price.
1
Computer or Softphone
For PC softphones, check whether the computer offers USB-A, USB-C, or a headset-capable audio jack. Confirm that both speaker and microphone work in the calling application.
Inline mute and volume do not guarantee app-level answer/end controls or synchronized mute status.
2
Desk Phone
Match the exact phone model to its supported headset port and wiring. Wantek RJ1, RJ2, and RJ4 configurations are not interchangeable.
A quick-disconnect (QD) headset may also require a compatible lower cable or adapter.

3.5 mm or 2.5 mm
For 3.5 mm and 2.5 mm connections, verify microphone support and contact wiring—not just plug diameter. Computers with separate mic and headphone sockets may need a compatible splitter.
4
Wireless
For roaming agents, confirm Bluetooth or a supported wireless base on the calling device. Test range, call controls, and the charging routine before selecting a wireless model.
