There are advantages and disadvantages of both, and some instances where the technologies are combined so it is worth knowing about these before you make your choice.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dect\">DECT&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>DECT Wireless Headsets send their signal to and from the base unit on the 2.4Ghz frequency and have superb range! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pmctelecom.co.uk\/blog\/what-does-dect-mean\/\">The DECT standard<\/a> means that they can reach up to 200 metres where there are little or no obstacles in the way of blocking the radio signal between headset and base unit, so open plan offices are amazing for these units. It is typical to get between 30-60 metres indoors where there are walls or other obstacles present, which is still a substantial distance in most offices.&nbsp;DECT also offers a higher bandwidth in terms of transmission allowing a wideband sound spectrum, so voice quality is often higher than Bluetooth options.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you would like to know more detailed technical information about the DECT standard, you can find out more on Wikipedia\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Digital_enhanced_cordless_telecommunications#Technical_features\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DECT information page.<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bluetooth\">Bluetooth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pmctelecom.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/bluetooth_PNG72-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"Bluetooth Logo\" class=\"wp-image-2682\" width=\"59\" height=\"59\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pmctelecom.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/bluetooth_PNG72-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.pmctelecom.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/bluetooth_PNG72-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.pmctelecom.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/bluetooth_PNG72-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.pmctelecom.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/bluetooth_PNG72-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.pmctelecom.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/bluetooth_PNG72-1536x1536.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.pmctelecom.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/bluetooth_PNG72.png 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 59px) 100vw, 59px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The second type of wireless that is slightly more familiar is Bluetooth, also working on the 2.4Ghz radio frequency.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bluetooth standard runs a shorter range than DECT and is limited to approximately 30 metres max, which does reduce quite sharply with walls &amp; obstacles, so users tend to get between 5-10 meters. You do need to be aware of range limitations here as DECT does offer the superior range over Bluetooth, however the ubiquity and versatility of the software built-in with Bluetooth technology gives you the opportunity in a lot of cases of having the headset itself directly paired to multiple devices at the same time without the need of a base unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The user can in a lot of cases, have the headset paired to their corded phone base unit, mobile phone, and PC, so if they would like the ability to switch between a Teams meeting on the PC, to a call on their desktop handset, then Bluetooth might be the better technology in this use case.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two types of Bluetooth headsets that you can buy. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Bluetooth headsets that charge via a cable (Via a USB-A or USB-C Connection) or wirelessly. These normally connect directly to the PC \/ Mobile or Tablet via the inbuilt Bluetooth adapter.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The other type of Bluetooth headset comes with a Charging base, and is designed to be used at a desk, so the user can easily charge their headset between calls. These types of headsets connect directly to a PC, Mobile or Laptop via Bluetooth. &nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>It is worth noting some older PC\u2019s that do not have a Bluetooth would need a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pmctelecom.co.uk\/project-telecom-bluetooth-4-0-usb-dongle-adapter-bluetooth-transmitter-receiver-voip\/\">USB Bluetooth Dongle<\/a> to pair with their blueooth headset.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-3 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>A bluetooth dongle is a tiny device that plugs into any free USB port on your PC or Laptop and will give you the ability to pair any Bluetooth device to your computer.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pmctelecom.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/bluetooth_dongle_main-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2696\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pmctelecom.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/bluetooth_dongle_main-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.pmctelecom.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/bluetooth_dongle_main-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.pmctelecom.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/bluetooth_dongle_main.png 528w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>More in depth technical information about Bluetooth can be found on Wikipedia\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bluetooth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bluetooth information page<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An example of a Bluetooth headset for corded telephones and mobile devices would be the excellent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pmctelecom.co.uk\/project-telecom-entry-monaural-noise-cancelling-wireless-bluetooth-headset-for-calls-and-music\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Project Telecom Advanced Monaural Wireless Bluetooth Headset<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-pmc-telecom wp-block-embed-pmc-telecom\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"bETjm5SQDo\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pmctelecom.co.uk\/blog\/the-best-bluetooth-headsets-for-microsoft-teams\/\">What are the best Bluetooth Headsets for Microsoft Teams?<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;What are the best Bluetooth Headsets for Microsoft Teams?&#8221; &#8212; PMC Telecom\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pmctelecom.co.uk\/blog\/the-best-bluetooth-headsets-for-microsoft-teams\/embed\/#?secret=BVlTZP4k2Y#?secret=bETjm5SQDo\" data-secret=\"bETjm5SQDo\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-dect-bluetooth-work-in-tandem\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_DECT_Bluetooth_work_in_tandem\"><\/span>Can DECT &amp; Bluetooth work in tandem?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some Wireless headsets work using DECT technology and Bluetooth in tandem which gives the advantage of the extra range, whilst also adding the flexibility of Bluetooth. The way they incorporate both technologies is to incorporate Bluetooth into the headset\u2019s base unit. This allows the user to connect a nearby mobile device or Bluetooth enabled PC or Laptop to the headset\u2019s base unit which in turn connects to the DECT headset.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In these cases, the Bluetooth device pairs to the headset\u2019s base unit, whilst the headset base unit then goes on to connect to the headset using DECT, giving the benefit of that DECT range whilst connected to a Bluetooth device.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pmctelecom.co.uk\/jabra-engage-75-dect-wireless-headset\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Jabra Engage 75<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pmctelecom.co.uk\/plantronics-savi-oth-binaural-dect-headset-w8220-or-w8220-m\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Plantronics Savi W8220<\/a> are a good examples of high quality cordless DECT headset which can connect to multiple devices and have a Bluetooth enabled base unit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-i-answer-my-telephone-from-my-cordless-headset-if-i-am-away-from-my-desk\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_answer_my_telephone_from_my_cordless_headset_if_I_am_away_from_my_desk\"><\/span>Can I answer my telephone from my cordless headset if I am away from my desk?&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the make and model of your desktop telephone, you may need to buy an added accessory to enable your Wireless Headset to answer and end your calls using the button on the headset. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Older phones<\/strong> need a more mechanical solution call a Handset lifter. A headset lifter automatically lifts the handset on the phone for you when you choose to take a call with the headset. It directs the audio to the headset. It means that you can answer or end a call with your headset when you are away from the phone i.e., in another room. Almost all analogue telephones will require a lifter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a more <strong>modern office phone<\/strong>, that is <strong>IP, VoIP or Digital (ISDN)<\/strong> then you will most likely have something called an EHS Mode built into your telephone. EHS means Electronic Hook Switch and does the same job as its predecessor the lifter, but it is completely electric, so no moving parts.
