Sennheiser DW Office Wireless Headset
The latest Sennheiser DW Office wireless headset is arguably the best of breed in the multi-use product category, having proved itself as an outstanding office, computer and wireless headset. Sennheiser, the headphone gurus, have well and truly stamped their authority in the headset market with this brilliant series. The golden rule of headsets is to buy the best you can afford and, for this reason, we hope your budget lets you put the DW Office on your shortlist.
Plantronics WO350 Savi Office OTH Binaural Wireless Headset
The latest Plantronics SAVI WO350 is one of only a handful of wireless binaural headsets (headsets with two ear cups) available today (the only others being the Plantronics CS361N and the Sennheiser DW Office Pro 2). If you’re spending over 4 hours a day on the phone, manufacturers suggest using a binaural model. It provides the best sound (because it’s heard in both ears) and also means you can have the volume lower (which is better for your long-term hearing). 
The Plantronics SAVI WO350 is virtually identical to the bulletproof CS361N but can connect to your computer as well as your desk phone. The only binaural headset we believe is a better buy is the recently released Sennheiser DW pro 2. The 4 headsets in the Plantronics SAVI range are almost identical. The only difference between them is the wearing style (the WO 200 is over-the-ear, the WO300 is over-the-head, and the WO350 binaural and WO100 can be worn in both over-the-head and over-the-ear configurations).

Plantronics CS60X DECT Wireless System with APA-2 EHS
The Plantronics CS60X DECT Wireless with APA-2 EHS is based on one of the world’s largest selling headsets for the past 10 years – the Plantronics CS60. The CS60X is a CS60 base model with an internal electronic hook switch added, which allows you to pick up and hang up on calls away from your desk without having to buy a handset lifter. However, before you get excited about this addition to the popular CS60, know this – despite its well-deserved reputation for excellence back when it was released a decade ago, the CS60 is now old hat and there are plenty of better headsets on the market (ie. almost any of them!). John Howard is no longer Prime Minister and the CS60/CS60X is no longer king. 
GN JabraGO 6470 Multi Use Headset
The GN GO 6470/Jabra GO 6470 is the best Bluetooth headset on our site… bar none! The Sennheiser VMX Office looks great but is second-rate by comparison, and the top of the line Pro 9470 is really for “office only” applications. The Jabra GO 6470 offers users the ability to connect to the office phone, computer and mobile phone all at the same time! No matter which device rings you can answer any by simply hitting a touch screen, because you are connected to all devices simultaneously. 
If you are in and out of the office and only want to choose one headset, this is it. If you bought a great mobile headset like the Voyager Pro you’d be up for around $100. Then when you factor in buying a good office computer headset (say for around $350), it’s easy to see you’d end up paying more combined that you do for the GN GO 6470 which does everything in one package, without the need to change headsets over!

Sennheiser DW Pro 2 Wireless Headset
Why settle for the rest why you can have the best? The Sennheiser DW Pro 2 is part of the flagship DW range, and distills all of Sennheiser’s considerable knowledge into 1 superb piece of hardware. It takes the DW Office to the next level, offering even more rugged build quality and ultra-noise cancelling. If you’re happy to do without these extra features, opt for the still excellent DW Office and save yourself a few dollars. But if you want a headset without compromise, the DW Pro 2 is the answer.
The Sennheiser DW Pro 2 wireless headset is identical to the DW pro 1, except it is binaural (2 ear cups), making it ideal for heavy phone use. Like the DW Pro 1, this really is a headset without compare. The Plantronics SAVI range (the Plantronics Savi WO100, Plantronics Savi WO200 and Plantronics Savi WO300) and even the very good GN Netcom 9350 can’t, in our opinion, beat it in terms of sheer design excellence. We always recommend you buy the best you can afford, and if your budget stretches to the DW Pro 2, rest assured that you really are getting the best.

GN Netcom Jabra 9470 Pro Headset
The GN Pro 9470 is the ‘holy grail’ of headsets. Few other headsets are able to toggle so effortlessly between computer, office phone and mobile phone. Others offer one or even two of these features, but only the Jabra GN Pro 9470, the Jabra GN GO 6470 and the Sennheiser VMX Office are able to do all three! To change modes, simply tap the elegant and easy-to-follow touch screen. Whether it’s a mobile call inside the office, a call from your office desk phone or an IP-based call on your computer, all now come to the same headset – just tap and start talking. Now that is great! 
In this elite class the GN Pro 9470 is the pinnacle, the zenith, the bees’ knees, the dogs b-… well, you get the idea. Plus, Jabra/GN Netcom has managed to wrap this incredible functionality in a super stylish, multi-wearing style, touch screen package. It’s sexy, futuristic and a veritable wolf in a supermodel’s clothing.
The only headset that comes close is the Sennheiser DW Office but even it doesn’t offer mobile phone connectivity! And as far as the brand goes, Jabra is one of the established market leaders so you can’t fault this headset whichever way you turn. Price is the only slight drawback, but as they say, you get what you pay for and the GN Pro9470 is proof of that.
