Headset Terminology

Noise-canceling - Lets your caller hear just you, not everyone else in the room! Noise-canceling microphones reduce room noise, making it easier for your caller to hear only you - loud and clear. On many Jabra amplified headsets, noise-canceling microphones are combined with voice switching technology for even greater noise reduction.

Monaural over-the-head - Jabra monaural headsets provide sound in one ear, delivering a cost-effective solution for headset users in a normal office environment.

Binaural over-the-head - Binaural headsets with sound in both ears provide users an advantage in noisy environments. Select headsets feature a single-cable binaural design, transmitting sound to both ears without using a "yoke" configuration. Having only a single-cable extending down one side of the headset enhances user comfort and ease of use.

Monaural over-the-ear - Jabra offers a choice in wearing styles for users who prefer the comfort of an over-the-ear mounted speaker. Resting gently on the outside of the ear, Jabra’s award winning design offers great sound and comfort in an over-the-ear headset.

Amplifier required - With the exception of mobile, wireless and Direct Connect headsets, most telephone headsets require an amplifier to interface with your telephone system. The amplifier conditions both the receive and transmit signals, ensuring clear, clean, distortion free communication. The amplifier also provides the highest level of user hearing safety available. GN 8000 Series universal amplifiers are compatible with most telephone systems. Specific application amplifiers are also featured. Consult the compatibility guide to help you select the best solution for your telephone.

No amplifier required - Some phone systems are designed to support headsets that connect directly to your phone. Mobile headsets, wireless systems, Direct Connect headsets and headset telephone systems do not require amplifiers. These complete systems either have built-in amplifiers or use telephone line power.

Bluetooth® Enabled - Bluetooth® is a radio technology developed to deliver short-range wireless mobility. Bluetooth eliminates cables/wires/cords between devices, such as mobile phones and headsets, and provides services when devices are in close proximity to one another. Bluetooth facilitates fast, secure transmissions of both voice and data, even when the devices are not in line-of-sight.
