Qstik EVOQ Bluetooth Headset and USB Dongle

Aside from the aesthetics, Smartphone Daily say the QStik EVOQ Bluetooth DSP Headset is a sound product. It offers great value for money, but they'd probably only recommend it for in-car use.

3 reviews, 16 opinions (Average)

Information about the category

Computer headsets come in many shapes and sizes from the traditional headphones with microphone attached to a small arm to newer bluetooth earpieces. Most analogue headsets will have two connections, one for the headphones and another for the microphone and can come with about two metres of cable which can be extended with a male-female 3.5mm cable extender. USB versions have an integrated sound card built into the unit and can thus offer improved sound quality by taking the sound processing out of the noisy, interference ridden computer case. Some models of headset use noise cancelling microphones which provide higher clarity when recording by cutting out background noise. Noise cancelling can be either passive or active; in passive systems the microphone is simply shielded so it picks up less of the general noise around the wearer. An active noise cancelling microphone uses sophisticated systems to combat non voice frequencies by playing back their sonic opposite and consequently nullifying their soundwaves. Which type of headset you chose depends as much on personal preference as on its intended application and environment. A gamer who wants to take part in online games without disrupting those around him or her will generally not need complicated noise cancelling technology, whereas someone working in a loud office will. Headsets designed for office use also sometimes have the added benefit of automatically switching off the microphone when the person is no longer speaking, this leads to much clearer conference calls and can possibly save the wearer from mishearing important information which could jeopardise their job.
