Jabra GN2125 Corded Headset

Jabra GN2125 Corded Headset

 

Please note this is a discontinued, run out model – if you need multiple units please call and speak with one of our staff before purchasing.

The Jabra GN2125 Duo corded headset is designed to be used with your desk phone, smart phone, or computer (each requires the correct connector cable). The Jabra GN2125 is the binaural version of the popular Jabra GN2120 Mono headset.  It has a noise cancelling microphone which rotates to allow it to be worn on either ear.

All corded headsets come with a brand specific QD (quick disconnect) connection and require a same brand adapter cable to make them compatible with your phone or other device. These range in price from $15 upwards. Many of these cables look the same but are different inside, so if you’re not 100% sure which you need, give us a call and our staff will gladly check for you.

The Good

The Jabra GN2125 Duo is a good quality durable headset for those looking for something a little better than the basic. Having both ears covered helps call concentration and reduces strain from long calls. The stylish leatherette ear cups are small; however larger sets can be purchased to suit those who like more coverage. The noise cancelling microphone of the Jabra GN2125 Duo prevents any unwanted noise being heard by your callers, while the flexible boom ensures perfect positioning.

The Not So Good

The Jabra GN2125 is a narrowband  headset.  If you do need wideband (eg if you are using VOIP), look for IP / HW headsets.  .  The modular nature of this headset makes it a little less robust than some others, so if you plan to abuse you r headset, maybe pick another model.As with any corded headset, with the GN2125 Duo, you are tied to your phone via a cable, this can be frustrating when wires lie across your desk and get in the way of papers or drop down and get crushed & tangled under chair wheels. If your work requires that you get up from your desk (whether on a call or not) you’ll need to unclip the headset or take it off each time & reclip / put it back on when you return.  If you do this alot it can get super-annoying so a wireless headset could save you time, hassle (and hair!)

If you don’t have a headset port on your phone, a corded headset will take the place of your handset. If you still want to use the handset you can pick up a switch to allow you to swap between the two.

As we’ve mentioned, corded headsets need connector cables, so don’t forget to factor in those costs when pricing up your headset. If you have a phone that is difficult to match for compatibility you may have to look at an amplifier. An amp, while providing superior call control (with mute and volume controls) and sound quality, will push up the price to about the same as a wireless headset (which  have an amp built in), no brainer – if you need an amp, get a wireless headset!

Binaural headsets aren’t for everyone.  Receptionists can look a little unapproachable with both ears covered and those who interact regularly with colleagues may find it annoying to remove the headset (or move the earcup) all the time.  BUT if you spend a large part of your day on the phone, these are the safest option for your hearing.

The Verdict

The Jabra GN2125 Duo is ideal if you are taking longer calls and want something stylish and lightweight

Other headsets to consider before buying

If you are looking for a binaural option but are interested in what other brands have to offer, check out the Plantronics and the Sennheiser or SC260 If staff sit close together and it’s really noisy the ultra noise cancelling of the Sennheiser is definitely worth the extra investment.Another factor to consider is the extra productivity that can be gained from the freedom to walk away from your desk while on a call. It is worth checking out the which is a great entry level wireless option for only a small amount extra. If you want wireless binaural options have a look at the Duo and Plantronics
