This ranking is based on industry feedback and personal observations. These personal observations take into consideration sales volume, warranty returns and industry and user responses.

Wireless Headsets

1. Sennheiser D 10 - We use this one.
   Sennheiser has the best audio quality on the market. There is no need to repeat yourself, with Sennheiser Voice Clarity. Sennheiser D 10 comes in a Phone or PC version.

2. Plantronics CS540
   This is the lightest office headset on the market. It has resulted from the evolution of the CS60. It overcomes the weakness of its' predecessor, it is very easy to pair a new top into the base - most times it is automatic.

3. Jabra Pro 920
   Simple, affordable and professional. This single ear headset is very comfortable. It comes with a very good noise cancelling microphone. It has acoustic shock protection, fulfilling the Australian G616 industry guidelines.

Bluetooth Headsets

1. Plantronics Voyager Legend - We use this one.
   The first truly intelligent bluetooth headset. It has exceptional wind noise cancellation and clarity when paired to mobile. It can tell when you put it on or take it off, and reacts accordingly. When receiving a call on mobile it announces the caller from your phones contact list, "Call from John", so you know who is calling before you answer. Most states now have significant fines for using a mobile while driving, with this feature you are completely handsfree.
