If you're  like a lot of people, you probably slide in a pair of Airpods when you get on a business call. And if so, the question you need to be asking yourself is are those the best choice when it comes to having a hgh quality, professional business call? And the short answer, and God's honest truth is,  they're not.

Now before you go all rogue on me , hear me out.

In just about every environment, there's distracting noise. For example,  if you work in an office, there's coworkers chatting it up around you. If you work at home there's the baby crying, dogs barking, Landscapers, delivery people and the list goes one. And, if you happen to be one of those newly categorized workers called the "hybrid worker" who calls their office, well, anyplace, you have noise to deal with too. At the local Starbucks? Tons of noise. Driving in your car? Noise. Walking down the street? Noise. The truth is, noise is something that's  hard to escape. That's why you need a good headset that has a good quality microphone when you're on those important calls.

You really don't want your callers hearing all that noise in your background do you? Didn't think so.

Instead of using those  Airpods that have a microphone totally incapable of erasing background noise, why not use something better? For example:

Orosound Tilde Pro is one good choice. Exceptional  microphone sound quality, great noise reduction for clean, clear calls, and a battery up to a full 28  hours. It's  wireless, but you can still use it even when it's charging. And if room noise bothers you, it has 10 levels of Active  Noise  Cancelation, so you can decide how much noise you want to hear.

There's also the Opencomm UC that's  worn  behind the neck, and the ear speakers, well, they  aren't speakers at all. This headset uses a Technology called Bone Conduction, and the sound bypasses your ear drums entirely.  The mic sounds great, and it reduces background noise well too.

Then, there's  the Poly 5200 UC that's one of the most discreet looking headsets that packs a punch when it comes to voice audio quality, and noise reduction. It's worn over the ear, and comes with different sizes of ear gels. So, if you're looking for a headset that sounds professional, but doesn't make you look like you're taking  orders at the local  drive through, then this would be a great choice.

Whichever headset you might prefer, any of the ones I just mentiioned would be a vast improvement over using Airpods on your business calls.  And if I could leave  you with one simple piece of advice, just don't do it. Your callers deserve better, and so do you.
