If I need Bluetooth, I just use Tozo earbuds from Amazon. Cheap and work really well. For my work headset, whatever cheap Logitech we get at the local store. I keep it simple.
Wow - I've found the store Logitech ones to be about the most uncomfortable things on the planet!
At least what they have here at Best Buy.
Other models from Logitech are much more comfortable, but I've had to order from DCW or Amazon.
To bad they aren't supplying you with a real phone - but it's kinda meh either way.

probably - wont be taking the headset to get coffee or go to the restroom.
Meh, I don't bother to take it off for a trip to those locations.. The former, I continue to talk. The latter, not so much. Don't answer there either..
Lier!

I've had some comfy and some awful. Sadly, my current is awful.

I need to have a word with Andy about that.

Mentioned that I was having issues with my headset to one of my coworkers - I guess we have a standard issue headset offered by the company.

It does seem kinda weird that either a) they supply you with one or b) they reimburse you for providing one of your own.
Though perhaps we don't have all the information.

Also weird that they pay for a headset that costs more than an enterprise, top end phone, but make you use a laptop for phones. That's super weird.

What are you paying for phones? I think the Fanvil x4 was what $65? plus $20 for a headset?

Cool, my business account gets a pretty decent discount.

I use a pair of over the ear headphones and they’re plugged into my Mic on a boom. The audio driver in the mic pipes the mic audio back into my headphones so I can hear myself talk as well as the comp audio.
If I’m on the go I just use my air pods.

I have a Mic that does that, but it's too much stuff on my desk for me.

do they
a) pay for a headset OR
b) reimburse you for one you buy yourself?Using a headset is basically a requirement for a softphone (and since you're now work from home support - I fully expect you'll spend the better part of your day on the phone - so you'll want a headset for that so really that should be a business expense).

I just hang the headphones on the mic and push the arm out of the way. It’s attached at the back of my desk.

It looks pretty decent to me. The Evolve2 40 has a more advanced mic though with more suppression of unwanted noise and the Engage 50 is better and much lighter. But it's hard to beat free
I think you'll be very pleased with it.
