A user working in a busy open-plan office needs a wireless headset for frequent video and voice calls on a company laptop. The headset must allow the user to walk to nearby team areas (approximately 30 m/100 ft) while maintaining clear two-way audio and blocking much of the background chatter. Which of the following headset connection types best meets these requirements?
Near-field communication (NFC) headset used only for tap-to-pair audio playback
Bluetooth Class 1 headset with active noise-cancelling microphone
Lightning-connector earbuds with inline microphone
Wired USB-C headset with passive noise-isolating earcups
Bluetooth Class 1 headsets are specifically designed for wireless audio communication. They can maintain a stable connection up to about 30 m/100 ft from the paired device and many enterprise-grade models include active noise-cancelling microphones, allowing clear calls even in noisy offices. Wired USB-C or Lightning headsets do not provide mobility, and NFC is only used for quick pairing-not for streaming continuous audio, so those options would not satisfy the stated needs.
