Use for
The rules
  • Dev calls & remote work: Yes when the listing names Microsoft Teams or Zoom, or states a noise-cancelling microphone that is on a boom or on a headset sold for office and calls. Unknown when the listing states none of these: a missing statement is never a yes.
  • Office: Yes when the listing sells it for office or call work (office, calls, desk phones, Teams, Zoom or DECT). No when it is sold for gaming or for truck drivers. Unknown when the listing does not say who it is for.
  • Gaming: Yes when the listing sells it for gaming. No when it is sold for office and calls or for truck drivers. Unknown when the listing does not say who it is for.
  • A headset whose listing does not state what a rule needs is not counted as meeting it. Ticking two uses shows headsets that meet both.

Best headsets for remote work and dev calls

On calls, what your team hears matters more than what you hear: a microphone close to your mouth that leaves out the keyboard and the room. For a developer who spends part of the day on standups and pairing sessions and the rest in headphones, comfort over hours and a mute you can reach count as much as sound.

69 headsets of the 221 in this table meet the Calls rule printed beside the filter, from $26.00 to $402.00 at the last price check. 152 headsets do not state enough to judge and are never counted as meeting it.

Microphone and noise cancelling

Two features share the name noise cancelling. Active noise cancelling (ANC) in the ear cups reduces what you hear; a noise-cancelling microphone reduces what the people on the call hear. For calls from a busy home or an open office, the microphone one is the feature to look for.

Stated microphone types in this table: boom, 92; built-in, 2. 93 headsets state a noise-cancelling microphone and 12 state noise cancelling for the listener; a listing that does not say so is not counted.

Certified for Teams or Zoom

Per Microsoft's list of devices certified for Teams, a headset certified for Teams works without extra setup and gives basic call control from the headset (answer and hang up, mute and unmute, volume) on a PC or a Mac, with wide-band audio and echo cancellation. Headsets with Microsoft's Premium Microphone for Open Office designation pick up the wearer's voice without passing on the neighbors'. Zoom runs its own program for headsets; per Zoom's hardware certification announcement, certified products are listed on Zoom's certified hardware list and must be recertified at least every two years.

19 headsets in this table state Teams certification and 9 Zoom certification; a listing that does not say so is not counted, so check the maker's page if your company requires it.

Wired, wireless and multipoint

A wired headset never needs charging; a wireless one lets you stand up during a call. Microsoft notes that most Bluetooth headsets certified for Teams are designed to connect to the computer through their USB dongle. Multipoint Bluetooth keeps a headset connected to two devices at once, for example the laptop for calls and the phone.

By stated connection: 124 wireless headsets and 61 wired headsets. 36 headsets do not state it. 2 headsets state multipoint.

Headsets for the office

In an office, a headset on one ear leaves the other free for the people around you; one on both ears shuts out more of the room. Both kinds come wired and wireless.

46 headsets of the 221 in this table meet the Office rule printed beside the filter, from $26.00 to $402.00 at the last price check. 16 headsets do not state enough to judge and are never counted as meeting it.

By stated fit: 42 headsets cover both ears and 14 one ear. 165 headsets do not state it.

Headsets for gaming

A gaming headset is built for game sound and voice chat. If the same headset has to do work calls too, check its microphone and whether it states Teams or Zoom certification.

155 headsets of the 221 in this table meet the Gaming rule printed beside the filter, from $27.99 to $899.00 at the last price check. 16 headsets do not state enough to judge and are never counted as meeting it.

How this page is built

Prices come from the stores Argusic tracks. An Amazon price counts when it was read in the last 24 hours, another store's price when it was read in the last 48 hours, because those feeds arrive once a day. Each price shows the store and the time it was read. Headsets priced under $25 are not listed. 221 headsets are listed now.

Specs are what each seller states on its listing, certifications included; Argusic has not tested these headsets hands-on. The Use for rules are Argusic's and printed beside the filter, and a headset whose listing does not state what a rule needs is never counted as meeting it.

The default order, Recommended, puts a middle price band first, then the bands on either side, then the rest; within each band popular models come first and brands take turns. The Top picks block shows one model per brand. The order is an editorial default, not a quality ranking, and commissions never change the order or any number.
