I think we’d all agree that how we work today is quite a bit different from five years ago. The covid pandemic certainly changed things up, with many of us having returned to work at the office, though some have remained working from home, while others employ a work routine that’s a mix of both.  Wherever you work, and if you’re using Microsoft Teams for your voice or video calls, you stand to benefit by using a good quality, business grade headset.

Why Headsets Matter: The Foundation for Clear Communication

A dedicated headset offers numerous benefits over speakerphones or using your computer’s built-in microphone and speakers. Here’s why upgrading to a good headset is a crucial first step if you’re in search of better sounding Microsoft Teams calls:

• Professional Audio: Dedicated microphones capture your voice clearly and consistently. This ensures you’re always heard loud and clear, even in moderately noisy environments.
• Noise Reduction: Headsets with noise-canceling microphones help mitigate some background noise, minimizing distractions for both you and your callers.

And though there are a number of solid headset choices available, one that stands out in the crowd, and is an excellent choice for anyone using Microsoft Teams, is the Orosound Tilde Pro.

Headset Spotlight: Orosound Tilde Pro – A Feature-Packed Powerhouse

As an example of a premium headset, let’s consider the Orosound Tilde Pro. This headset has several features that help enhance your Microsoft Teams experience:

Professional grade audio. The Tilde Pro delivers voice fidelity that’s richer sounding than other headsets in this class. So if you want to sound better on your Microsoft Teams calls, then this is a headset well worth your time to consider.

Noise canceling microphone. Lets face it, noise is all around us. And the last thing any of us want is for that noise to be part of our calls. Noise is distracting, noise is frustrating, and noise interferes with our message being heard. The Tilde Pro has a superior noise canceling microphone which helps you to have a clear Microsoft Teams call, even when there’s noise going on around you.

Active Noise Cancellation. This useful feature blocks out background noise for the wearer of the headset, where a noise canceling microphone remove background noise for your callers. Some headsets have ANC, though many limit the Active Noise Cancellation feature to either on/off, or high/low only, without any adjustment. The Orosound Tilde Pro provides you with five levels of adjustment which allows you to control how much noise you hear. And when you hear less noise, you’re better able to stay focused on your work. To get a general overview of ANC, here’s an article from Bang and Olufsen that talks about ANC.

Aware+. Anyone who wears a headset knows the frustration associated with having to take off the headset everytime someone approaches wanting to have a face-to-face conversation. This can become frustrating over time, and it’s something solved when using the Tilde Pro. It has a feature called Aware+ that allows you to have a face-to-face conversation without having to remove the headset. We all have little frustrations in life, and the Aware+ feature allows us to check one of them off our list.

Long life battery. The Tilde Pro comes with a 28 hour battery, so you’ll have more than enough power for any of your Microsoft Teams meetings. You won’t have to worry about a battery going dead on you while on important calls. You’ll even be able to string together multiple days of use before a battery recharge is needed. Finally, you can continue using the Tilde Pro even when it’s plugged in for recharging, which makes it very convenient. Not all headsets have that ability, and require you to be without your headset while charging takes place.

Modularity. The Tilde Pro allows you to select the style of ear cushions, whether it be those that go against the ear, or those that fully circle them. You can use the headset with the included boom microphone, or remove it when not on calls because it attaches magnetically. Though you can still make calls without the boom mic, optimum sound quality is achieved when using it.

Without question, the Orosound Tilde Pro will elevate your audio when on Microsoft Teams calls. But this headset, like any headset, won’t remove all your background noise. So what’s the solution if you’re looking for a headset for Microsoft Teams calls, and what you’re now using just isn’t cutting it?

The Missing Piece: Noise-Canceling Software for Impeccable Audio

While the Tilde Pro is an excellent first step in achieving a better sounding Microsoft Teams voice or video call, combining it with neep noise canceling software is the final piece to this noise puzzle.
