If you presently spend more than 5-10 percent of your day on the phone while also multi-tasking to get several other things done during your day this may be a very easy and effective way for you to increase your productivity anywhere from 1% per day all the way up to as high as 10% (or more) over the way you are currently getting things done.
There are four different types of wireless headsets they are
1.) Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) wireless headsets - Which is used for cordless phone systems. The most commonly used profile of DECT is Generic access profile (GAP).
The GAP profile is used to allow communication between any GAP-enabled DECT base station and it's cordless handset. By having this uniformed profile, developers such as Plantronics, Panasonic and Jabra have been able to create wireless headsets that can directly pair with any GAP-enabled DECT telephones.
This allows anyone with a DECT Wireless Headset to pair it with their home DECT telephone and enjoy wireless communication using the wireless headset.
2.) The 2.4 GHz wireless headsets - This is the radio frequency (rf) that the wireless unit is designed to run on. This is an open frequency for wireless devices nonetheless other systems also use it (such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Wireless Lan) which can cause problems with interference.
Because 2.4 GHz Wireless Headsets operate on a different frequency an additional base-unit is required for the headset to communicate with the corded telephone base unit (land line).
The wireless headset communicates with the base-unit and the base-unit communicates with the land line.
An automatic handset lifter can be used with some 2.4 GHz wireless systems to allow the handset to be lifted wirelessly by pressing a button on the wireless headset.
3.) Bluetooth Wireless Headsets - this technology has become a common wireless profile for wireless mobile phone headsets.
Bluetooth also operates on the 2.4 GHz Frequency, similar to Wi-Fi but because it is designed for low power usage, it has a low transmission range.
Bluetooth Wireless desktop - With a base-station that connects to the land-line telephone and also the computer sound card, a bluetooth headset can be paired to the base-station, which will allow you to use a single wireless headset for both land-line telephone and computer VoIP communications.
This option, when used together with a multiple-point bluetooth headset allows you to use a single bluetooth headset to communicate between Telephone, Mobile and Computer, which can be used to provide a complete wireless communication desktop solution using Bluetooth technology.
