See why the Yealink UH46 is a top wired USB headset to consider for 2025, with microphone tests against the sounds of dogs, babies, meetings, and blenders, plus neep AI noise canceling compatibility.
Why the Yealink UH46 Stands Out
Clear audio is essential for professional communication. Studies suggest 60% of remote workers face audio challenges like interference from background noise, microphone quality issues and more. The Yealink UH46, a wired USB headset, delivers superior sound quality, noise cancellation and ergonomic design, making it ideal for anyone wanting professional sound. Here’s what makes it a great headset to consider.
Yealink UH46: Key Features for Professionals
The Yealink UH46 combines advanced technology and comfort for great sounding calls and meetings:
-
3-Mic Noise Cancellation: Three microphones with Yealink Acoustic Shield 3.0 suppress background noise like coworkers, children, pets, and other distracted sounds for clear calls.
-
High-Quality Audio: 35mm speakers provide rich, wideband HD audio (20Hz–20kHz) for calls and music. Far better than many headsets that cost more.
-
All-Day Comfort: Lightweight design with soft, padded memory foam ear cushions and headband ergonomically designed for even pressure, perfect for all-day wearing.
-
Plug-and-Play: USB-C cord with USB-A adapter for easy connection to PCs, tablets, or Yealink IP phones. A 7 foot cord is a generous length for free movement.
-
In-Line Controller: Includes call control, microphone mute (or lift boom arm), volume up/down, and launch Teams (for those using Microsoft Teams), and LED indicators.
-
Compatibility: Certified for Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and 100+ platforms for seamless integration.
-
Dual Busylight: Lights up during calls to minimize interruptions, enhancing focus and productivity.
Mic Test: How the UH46 Handles Real-World Noise
In our video, we tested the UH46’s microphone in challenging, and real world scenarios to showcase its noise-canceling capabilities:
-
Dogs Barking: The 3-mic system effectively suppressed the sounds of barking dogs, keeping the audio clear and noise free.
-
Crying Babies: The baby crying sounds were reduced to the point that they were not really heard, which is great for anyone who works from home, and has small children.
-
Meeting Noise: Office noise can be a major distraction, the Yealink UH46 handled those sounds with ease, helping to illustrate the value the Yealink UH46 brings.
-
Blender Test: Even the roaring sound of a loud blender was significantly reduced, proving the UH46’s strength in noisy environments. And though none of us will be on a call with a loud blender next to us, it does show how well the noise canceling feature on the Yealink UH46 works.
-
Quiet Environment: And, as you would expect, without background noise, the voice audio quality was crisp, clear and professional sounding.
Key Finding: The UH46’s 3-mic array along with Acoustic Shield 3.0 technology performs well with consistent audio quality via USB-C or USB-A adapter connection, even when different background noises are present.
