Ready to check out some office phone headset options? Here's how 4 different models stack up against each other:

Best desk phone wireless headset

Our number one recommendation for a wireless office phone headset has to be the Leitner® LH270 Over-the-Head Wireless Headset. It's our bestselling headset for a reason. Here's what you need to know:

• Once your base is hooked up to your desk phone, you can talk on your headset from up to 350 feet away. That's a football field of range.

• It uses DECT Level A security to make sure that any confidential information that's brought up on the call stays on the call.

• It's backed by Leitner's five-year full replacement warranty, so you can rest assured this device gets top marks for reliability.

Runner up

Our wireless office phone headset runner-up is the Sennheiser OfficeRunner.

• The adjustable design means you can wear it as on-the-ear or an over-the-head headset.

• It’s got a 12 hour battery life, so you can talk for the whole work day and then some on a single charge.

• It uses ActiveGard technology to prevent sudden volume spikes. It makes calls more enjoyable and it protects your ears.

Best desk phone corded headset

The best corded desk phone headset is the Sennheiser DeskMate® HSC 230. It has plenty of features that earn it a place on this list.

• It takes the cake in terms of office phone headset comfort. In addition to a super soft ear cushion, it's got a headband that won't poke or prod throughout the day.

• It's compatible with a quick disconnect cord. That means that if you stand up to stretch your legs or take a bathroom break, you'll be able to easily unplug your headset from its cord without disrupting the connection to your desk phone.

• With the Easy Connect Bundle, you’ll ensure compatibility with all of the top desk phone brands and models. You’ll also have up to 11 feet of range!
