Not surprisingly, I&#8217;ve spent a ton of time trying different headsets. After years of disappointment (looking at you, Plantronics Voyager Legend) and inconvenience (Plantronics EncorePro) I typed &#8220;trucker Bluetooth headset&#8221; into Amazon. I mean, truckers spend all day on the phone in a noisy cab, so maybe they know what they&#8217;re doing? At just $20, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B076H6QZRX\/cooltools-20\">Mpow M5<\/a> was a cheap risk. <\/p>\n<p>Tl;dr: These meet or exceed the voice\/video\/VoIP performance of every other headset I&#8217;ve tried. <\/p>\n<p>We ran a test at the office this morning. There are about a dozen people in an open environment talking to each other and on phone calls. We also have an Echo playing some &#8220;western country funk&#8221; in the corner a bit louder than I would prefer. We did a video chat, and my colleagues reported they could hear nothing except my voice, and that was crystal clear (I had to turn down the gain slightly within the Zoom app). I could also pace about 20 feet from my desk before the audio got crackly. Things were clear on my side, though there isn&#8217;t anything to block ambient noise. We all agree they sound better then elsewhere-top-ranked Jabra Evolve 75 (which is over 10x more expensive!).<\/p>\n<div class='ctx-module-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix'><\/div><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><!-- --><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wireless over head earpiece with noise reduction<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[28],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32887"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32887"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32887\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32889,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32887\/revisions\/32889"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32887"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32887"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32887"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
