Hey everyone! I'm new to remote work and I'm looking for some budget-friendly headset options that would allow me to walk around my house while answering phone calls. I want something that picks up calls well but don't want to spend a lot right now. Any suggestions?

For a single ear option, I've really enjoyed my Poly 5200UC. It's comfortable and has a great microphone quality, plus I can walk my dog or drive while on calls without any wind noise affecting it. I'd recommend getting the USB dongle version for better range!
Check out the Jabra Evolve series! They've been great for me as a backup to my Jabra Elite earbuds. I prefer the supra-aural style since they don’t press on my ears where my glasses sit. Super comfortable for longer calls!
The Jabra Evolve 65 is fantastic! If mine ever break, I’ll definitely buy another pair. They connect easily, have great range, and the battery lasts ages. Just remember to keep the mic down to take calls easily!
If you want to consider a DECT option, the Plantronics Savi headsets are often available at good prices on eBay. They work really well for clear calls and have decent range!
While a bit pricier, I picked up a refurbished Voyager 4310 UC and it's been really solid for calls. I haven't had issues with background noise, and it's comfortable even with distractions in the background. Definitely worth considering if you're okay with a slightly higher cost.
Totally agree! Jabra headsets are my go-to too, can’t go wrong with them.
