BH70: The Entry-Level Contender
The BH70 is a budget-friendly option ideal for those prioritizing affordability without compromising on essential features. Here's what sets it apart:

- Dual and Single-Ear Options: The BH70 caters to both preferences by offering models with dual ear speakers for immersive audio or a single speaker to keep one ear free for environmental awareness.
- Comfortable Design: The soft ear cushions and padded headband ensure a comfortable fit for extended wear.
BH72 & BH76: Feature-Rich Powerhouses
The BH72 and BH76 offer a more feature-rich experience, ideal for users who value advanced functionalities. Let's explore the key differentiators:
- Active Noise Cancellation (ANC): (BH76 only) The BH76 boasts ANC technology that actively reduces background noise, creating a quieter and more focused calling environment, especially in noisy open-plan offices.
- Wireless Charging: The BH72 comes in two variants: one with wireless charging and a more affordable "Lite" version without it. The BH76 includes wireless charging as a standard feature.
- Multiple Model Variations: The BH76 offers even more versatility with two variations – the on-ear model and the BH76 Plus with over-ear cushions for complete noise isolation. Additionally, the BH76 Plus allows you to swap between on-ear and over-ear cushions, catering to changing preferences.
Other Things To Consider:
Here are some key factors to consider when choosing the best Yealink headset for you:
- Budget: The BH70 offers the most attractive price point, while the BH72 and BH76 come at a slight premium for their additional features.
- Noise Cancellation: If you require a quieter calling experience, especially in noisy environments, the BH76 with ANC is the clear winner. ANC will dampen background noise so you can stay focused, and get more done.
- Comfort: Both the BH70 and BH76 offer comfortable designs, with the BH70 potentially edging ahead due to its lighter ear cushions.
- Microphone Preference: If you prioritize microphone clarity and noise cancellation, the BH70's non-retractable mic design and overall audio quality is better than the BH72 and BH76.
- Wearing Style: Do you prefer on-ear or over-ear headphones? The BH70 offers both options, while the BH76 lets you choose between on-ear and over-ear with interchangeable cushions.
- Microsoft Teams Integration: Both UC and Teams versions are available for each headset. If Microsoft Teams is your main UC application for voice and video calls, then you’ll want to select the Teams variant for a better, more integrated experience.
