Upgrade your office with Bluetooth headset for phone calls
Q: I have a job where I am on the phone frequently and need to take notes, so I need my hands free for this purpose. I work in a medical field where privacy is required, so I can’t use a speakerphone because I never know if confidential information will be announced by the other party. I have earbuds that work for phone calls, as well as headphones, but I don’t think they are ideal. Do you know of anything that might be more suitable for what I am doing?
A: You can get a Bluetooth telephone headset for this, just like the ones you see at call centers with land lines. I personally use the Tribit CallElite 81 for phone calls and Zoom presentations where I must take notes, and I have been very happy with it. It has a 35-hour battery life and comes with a Bluetooth dongle so you can use it with computers without builtin Bluetooth. The CallElite 81 is only $69.99, which is very reasonable for a professional product such as this one.
