Q&A: What are the must-have headset features for Zoom meetings?

April 13, 2022 by Ying-Hui Chen

Are you prepared for an upcoming Zoom meeting? With that many headset options out there on the market, it can be tricky to narrow down what you really need. 

In this article, we will walk you through the essential headset features that you must consider when choosing your ideal headsets. Let’s optimize your Zoom calling experience with the right headset!

5 Headset Features to Consider for Zoom Meetings

  1. Noise cancellation 

We can’t stress enough about how important this feature is! Noise canceling headphones are easy to find nowadays. Here are some good Zoom headset options with noise canceling:

  1. Mono or Binaural 

Monaural headsets receive sounds in only one ear, while binaural headsets receive sounds in both ears. If you need to fully focus on the meetings, you will want to choose binaural headsets, if you need to know what’s going on around you during the Zoom meetings, a monaural headset will work better for you.

Mono Zoom headsets:

Binaural Zoom headsets:

  1. Busylight indicator

You don’t want to be interrupted during an important meeting! A busy light indicator is a small device that is attached to the side of your headset. It effectively lets people know that you are in a meeting by showing a red light. Once you are off the call, it will turn the green light back on.

  1. Wired or Wireless

While a wired headset is reliable and never runs out of battery; a wireless headset gives you the freedom to roam in the office during a meeting. There are many wireless headset options on the market with long talk times. This means you can talk with your headset for long hours before you need to charge it again. Here are a few options available:

Wired zoom headsets:

  1. Call control

Another must-have feature for Zoom meetings is the call control feature on your headset! Make sure you are familiar with the control buttons on your headset so you can easily adjust volume, mute, pickup, and end your calls.
