Make hands-free calls from your computer, smartphone, or other device. These headsets have a noise-canceling microphone that filters out background noise while you speak. For optimal clarity, bend the microphone’s flexible arm to position it near your mouth. To help you hear clearly, the headphones on these headsets use passive noise cancellation. The headsets also have an in-line call controller for answering and ending calls, changing the audio volume, and muting the microphone. Their padded ear cushions and adjustable headband make them comfortable to wear.

Headsets with single sound output only cover one ear, so you can still hear people talking nearby on your end. They’re useful for relaying messages and instructions.
