We all want a superior set of headphones with a good quality microphone that can make all the difference to the flow of any conversation. Poor quality sound and distorted mics can lead to miscommunications, distressed for gamers, or worse if it can cost you an important business deal. Fortunately, with the technology we have today, microphones develop at such a rapid pace, there are tons of good quality available on the market these days. Let’s take a look at our five of the most comfortable headphones with microphones that are best for you.
Plantronics B825 Voyager Focus Bluetooth Headset
This mid to high priced headphone from Plantronics is ideal for the work environment, combining lightweight and compact design, giving you comfort for multiple hours of use per day. It also features a 4.1 Bluetooth connection, which can reach up to 30 meters, and the battery will provide around 12 hours of talk time and up to 15 hours for listening. Its Active Noise Reduction Technology (ANC) does a fair job of dropping out unwelcome noises, which is useful in loud and noisy office environments.
Bose QuietComfort 3511 Bluetooth Headphones
Bose’s high-end headphones offer stellar sound quality and reliable calling ability through the built-in microphones. Although it isn’t exactly designed for calls, the microphones can still manage them to do well. However, if you prefer a more professional set-up, then a boomed mike will provide you the best results. Its ANC technology is also the most striking of the models reviewed, providing three various levels of noise reduction. If this is your main concern, then look no further.
Audio-Technica BPHS1 Broadcast Headset
The BPHS1 from Audio-Technica is committed to vocal quality more than anything else. If you’re looking for a headset for listening to your favorite music or live streaming, then this gem would be a perfect choice. If hearing and being heard are your number one concern, then these headsets are unbeatable, making it the most comfortable headset with microphone. It also comes with an XLR input rather than a conventional 3.5mm jack. So unless your system provides for XLR inputs, you’ll need to buy an adaptor if you don’t have one.
Sennheiser HD 4.40 Bluetooth Headphones
If you want something affordable, the Sennheiser HD 4.40 is a solid all-rounder for its price. Although its built-in microphone does the basics quite well enough, its noise-canceling technology isn’t the best, making them not perfect to noisier work environments. So this headset isn’t for talking but focuses more on quality delivery of sound, which they have done quite well. A precise, full-bodied sound provides a deeper bass than any other headphones. And distortion isn’t an issue for this headphone, even at its maximum volumes, the sound still holds together well.
Vtin PA081A Headset With Microphone
This Vtin’s wired headset is another practical and affordable set of headphones that are purpose-built for use in office environments and call centers. The unidirectional microphone conveys your voice precisely and clearly, and the built-in noise-reduction sound card blocks a significant amount of unnecessary surrounding noise. Again, the Vtin makes no claims about its audio-output quality. So if you’re looking for a headphone that complements your favorite music, you should look elsewhere.
