What does GN, GN Netcom and Jabra have in common?

They are all the same! GN Netcom originally built headsets for business use. Featuring a good variety of wireless and wired headsets, the company grew quite large and became well recognized in Europe.

Jabra was a company that built mostly consumer based products and merged with GN Netcom in 2000.

Somewhat confusing is that they kept the name GN Netcom for their business side and Jabra for the consumer and never consolidated the brands.

This often results in confusion amoung the two, but are in actual fact the same company. You can view Jabra/GN products at Jabra.com.

Plantronics Savi WO200 Wireless Headset Real Review

I have just started using the Savi WO200 headset made by Plantronics. I have always liked the style of the CS70N over the ear system and this one is no different. Although it is personal preference, the over the ear style distributes the weight of the headset around the ear and makes it feel light, so light, Isometimes forget I am wearing it.

I also like the swivel boom, which moves in and out when taking a glass of water of for when you just don't want it in your face.

As for the sound clarity, the close contact ear bud allows for intimate hearing so you don't miss important details.

As for the difference, this system works with a PC as well as desk phone, which makes it pretty powerful. Going wireless with the PC allows you even more freedom then before and with trend towards using VoIP for calls, the Savi provide greater value.

Overall, the system is a little more expensive, so if you don't use your PC much, then consider the Plantronics CS70N.

If you really like flexibility, this model will give you what you need. Other competing models inlcude the Plantronics Savi WO100 and the GN Netcom 9350e.

Increase Productivity With Headsets

Believe it or not, and this is not just a sales pitch, headsets increase productivity. If you think about it, even just based on common sense it makes perfect sense!

Users enjoy two hands free to type or do other things with and no longer have to hold the handset with their shoulder to their ear, or type with one hand.

Over the life of the headset, this makes up for countless hours of increased productivity in addition to a healthier body.

A healthier body with twice as much capacity equals more work!
