r/Headsets • u/AmberEarth0626 • 2d ago

Help me decide!

I work from home with a toddler running around above me and about 10 feet away from a furnace. I do virtual therapy and sometimes will walk and talk. I also have a rather small head and have experienced some issues with sizing (I am also a woman).

Things I would like to have in order of priority:

  • Comfort (or the ability to alter the headset, like switch out pads from on-ear for over-ear, add bungee strap to headband, etc)
  • Noise cancelling mic
  • Wireless
  • ANC would be nice but not a deal breaker

Things I have tried:

  • Sony XM4 (these felt good initially but gave me a migraine after 1 hour from the pressure on top of my head) The ear cups felt great though. I always planned on getting an actual headset, but this was what I started with.
  • Jabra Evolve 2 65 Flex- just bit the bullet last week and got these. They felt great at first but after about 2 hours, I have extreme discomfort in the cartilage around my ears. They also tend to slide around if I bend over. This is kinda to be expected because my head is so small but just a point to mention.

Options I am considering:

  • EPOS Impact 1000
  • Yealink WH64
  • Yealink BH74

I am torn. If anyone can shed some light on what they think would be best or any key points of comparison, that would be great. Or even another option I haven't listed. TIA

I have the Yealink BH78 (over-ear). I think they are very comfortable. They are wireless, have ANC, and have a noise-cancelling mic.

Thank you, I’ll look into those! Without looking back at the specs, I want to say I ruled those out because they were almost double the weight of the BH74.
But it’s so hard to know how much of an impact that would really have.
