14 DAY TRIAL // The battle in the headphones market is getting a lot more interesting, though these days, it looks like more and more companies are focusing all their efforts in a completely new direction.
Microsoft, for example, recently announced an upgrade to the Surface Headphones 2 specifically aimed at business customers, all in an attempt to make it easier to connect to services like Microsoft Teams, which have all become a must-have during these crazy times when remote working is such a common thing.
Called Surface Headphones 2+, the new model is optimized for Microsoft Teams, coming with several worthy upgrades for business users.
And now Dell is following in on Microsoft’s footsteps with a similar announcement, as the company has taken the wraps off the all-new Premier Wireless ANC Headset WL7022.
To go on sale in June
Connecting to PCs via USB or wirelessly using Bluetooth, the new Dell headset is obviously certified for Microsoft Teams, allowing for normal operation at up to 30 meters using a USB adapter.
It comes with several top-notch tech, including Active Noise Cancelling, wideband voice support and Hi-Fi stereo systems like A2DP and DSP. It also packs SoundGuard Digital, a system which Dell claims “protects against sound levels above 118 dBA.”
In terms of battery performance, the Dell model comes with a 325 mAh unit that can be recharged in 2.5 hours, allowing for talk time of up to 12 hours and listening time of up to 15 hours. The headset comes with call controls on the left side, as well as with an adjustable mic and headband.
All in all, this is a pretty neat addition to the Microsoft Teams-certified device lineup, especially as more people need such hardware these days. Dell expects to begin selling the new headset on June 25, with the device to be available for $299 in the United States.
