If you’re looking for the best wireless headset for your business phone system, you have two main options, DECT and Bluetooth®. They are both quality choices, but one may suit your business and communication needs better than the other. Below is what you should know about these two options. 

What Is a DECT Phone?

DECT stands for Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications. This system allows landline phones to be used wirelessly.

There are two essential components to a DECT phone, a base, and a headset. The base provides a beacon signal to the headset, allowing you to freely walk and talk. DECT phones have a range of about 330 feet, are very secure, and can be used with VOIP phone systems.

What Is a Bluetooth Phone?

Bluetooth systems also have both a base and a headset. The difference is that Bluetooth systems communicate with each other by transmitting radio waves. Unlike DECT, with Bluetooth, you can connect your headset to several devices instead of just the base. For instance, your headset can communicate with your mobile phone, business phone, and computer, all at the same time.

Bluetooth’s range is anywhere from three to 330 feet, depending on the model. It also provides great security, but the sound quality can be a bit inferior to that of a DECT phone.

Which One Is Right for Your Business?

If you have the need for many wireless headsets in your office, DECT may be the better choice. It allows you to easily prevent signal interference by turning down the range. If you only have the need for one or two headsets and like the idea of having them connected to multiple devices, Bluetooth might be a more practical choice.
