What is this about?

Wireless headsets are great. They free you from the need to be tethered with a cable to your device.

We noticed that the user in this session might have been using a wireless headset.

Potential risks

Wireless headsets have 3 disadvantages to them:
  1. The farther away you get from your device, the worse the connection is and the poorer the audio quality will be

  2. Most wireless headsets will add a bit of latency towards the call, degrading the quality when it comes to real time interaction with people in a meeting. This will be especially true if the network you are using exhibits high latency already (this will show up in the measurements in the round-trip time metric value)

  3. Wireless headsets have internal batteries that require charging. On a low battery, performance will be degraded automatically by the headset itself

All in all, depending on your use case and policies, you might be fine with wireless headsets, or you might not.

Suggested actions to take

  • If your policy is against using wireless headsets, contact the user

  • If your policy allows for wireless headsets and there are quality issues from the user, you can suggest to him the following:
    • Switch to a wired headset if possible
    • Make sure the battery of the headset is charged properly
    • Don’t be with your headset too far from your device. Distance matters to quality with wireless headsets
