In today’s hybrid work environment, effective communication is critical. With 80% of meetings now fully remote or hybrid, the right devices can greatly impact productivity, collaboration, and user experience.
While many devices are compatible with virtual platforms, certified devices undergo rigorous third-party testing to ensure seamless integration, superior audio, and reliable functionality.
Choosing a Jabra Microsoft Teams Certified headset guarantees exceptional audio quality and a seamless user experience, validated against Microsoft’s rigorous performance standards. Certification ensures the device meets key audio criteria, including:
Natural, high-fidelity audio
Advanced noise suppression
Side tone functionality
Echo cancellation
Intelligent audio processing
Low-latency performance
Microsoft takes certification a step further with its Open Office Certification, which builds upon the foundation of Teams Certification. Achieving this advanced level requires headsets to meet Microsoft's highest standards for microphone audio quality. Specifically, devices must demonstrate exceptional performance in suppressing background noise and minimizing the intrusion of ambient office conversations, ensuring clear, distraction-free communication even in open, collaborative environments.
Why Choose a Certified Device
Choosing certified devices isn’t just about quality, it’s about ensuring a complete, productive experience. Certified devices offer:
Compatibility: Not all devices come pre-certified. Certification ensures they work seamlessly with platforms like Zoom and Microsoft Teams.
User Experience: Certified devices offer superior audio and video quality, faster setup, and reliable performance.
IT Efficiency: Remote management and reduced technical issues free up IT teams for other tasks.
Professional Image: High-quality sound and visuals lead to clearer communication and a more professional presence.
Despite the clear advantages, only 23% of buyers prioritize certification when purchasing headsets, even though 27% do so to support a new virtual platform.
Not only do certified devices offer ease of use, but they offer superior sounds quality. When participating in a virtual meeting, you may believe you sound clear, but what your colleagues hear could be drastically different.
Consumer headsets are primarily designed for casual use such as listening to music, or gaming. These devices often lack the advanced microphone technology needed to capture voice nuances and filter out background noise effectively.
