A wireless headset is a must for those of us that speak on the phone during work or for extensive periods of time at home. A cordless headset for your phone gives you more freedom to move around and use your hands at your convenience. This is especially important for people in an office setting—you never know when you will need to multitask. Having the freedom to walk to the other side of the room to grab a file, or simply the ability to type something into your computer will make your life much less stressful. Having no cord means having no worries.
Cordless headsets can definitely make your life easier, but you want to make sure that you are not sacrificing quality. A noise cancelling microphone is essential. You also want to make sure that the roaming range is acceptable. If you will be, at times, far away from the receiver, you want to make sure that you have adequate range. A 300 foot roaming range will cover the vast majority of your needs. If you do not need such a high-tech phone, though, there is no point in purchasing a headset with such a long range. Look at what your needs are and then choose a wireless headset that best fits those needs.
Some phone bases will allow you to connect multiple dial pads to a single receiving unit. This is best suited for business people on conference calls, or families that live in a multistory house. Having such a receiver will eliminate the need for everyone in the business or family to have a separate receiver.
