Question: What is a Good bluetooth Headset? (lemmy.world)

submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by Fedizen@lemmy.world to c/hardware@programming.dev

My work is willing to buy a headset for me for zoom. I'm looking for the following

Bluetooth/wireless
Durable/Repairable
Good battery life
Good mic quality
Syncing multiple devices is a plus
USB dongle required (work pc doesn't have bt)
Over Ear

Current top choices: -previous one was a plantronics voyager but it failed after a year. Might try another similar one, anyway. If anyone has better ideas though I'm all ears.

Upgrade your Framework laptop motherboard, and use the old one in a 3D printed (or store-bought) case as a mini desktop PC, set-top box, Proxmox box, NAS, etc.
