Connecting a Yealink headset to Phone Through The Dongle

Yealink has a variety of top-notch headsets for users who are in need of smooth communication devices that block out interrupting noises, whether you are working in an office or remotely. Presenting Yealink BH series.

Yealink BH74 Series:

The BH74 series is the top-picked headset among Yealink’s family, with a lightweight design (152 grams). These headsets are a two-eared unit covering both ears on the top of the ear with big earcups of 30mm and have the newest feature from Yealink with Hybrid Active Noise Canceling (ANC). 

ANC has been proven to be the best way for headset users to block unwanted and bothersome noises that happen in the workplace. The best part of the BH74 series is that this feature comes with a Hybrid mode of graduation, which means it can be adjusted to the different levels of noise blocking at a very reasonable price point.  It has an impressive battery life, and it offers up to 32 hours of talk time or, if you prefer, streaming up to 65 hours on 1 single charge! This battery time is a huge improvement over other Bluetooth headsets with no ANC feature. The smart sensors located in the headset allow the user to play/pause streaming or mute the microphone by simply taking the headset off.

Thanks to the USB-C port found on the headset, it allows faster charging using either the included USB-C cable or any USB-C cable available at the office, such as laptops or smartphones. All the Yealink BH74 Bluetooth headsets come with the BT51C Dongle and with the USB-C to USB-A adapter! This helps to make it easier to order or to use, as with the Dongle and the adapter, the BH74 headset can be used in any laptop or desktop computer or any Mac.
