Microphone - Good, Bad Or Ugly
Let's be honest, if you're shopping around for a new headset for use on your business calls, you want to sound your best, right? With that in mind, I think you'll be very satisfied in the sound you get from the Yealink UH48.
Not only will you sound professional when using the UH48, but you get the added bonus of it coming with the patented Acoustic Shield 3.0 technology. Acoustic Shield works to remove distracting background noise so you sound your best, even when chaos is going on in the around you. So when sound quality matters, the Yealink UH48 delivers, and at a price point that won't break the bank.
Mute
The Yealink UH48 microphone can be muted two ways:
- By pressing the mute button located on the microphone boom
- By raising the microphone boom arm (lower it to unmute)
Silence Is Golden
Most would agree that noise is bothersome, and it can interfere with our concentration. And when distracted, it can take awhile to regain focus. To help combat the many challenges associated with unwanted background noise, Yealink designed the UH48 to deliver a quieter, more focus centric headset wearing experience.
Ear cup design. The ear cups have been specially designed to passively remove noise. The design of the earpiece, and the materials used, are your first line of defense against noise.
Hybrid ANC. The UH48 includes the premium feature of hybrid Active Noise Cancellation. Hybrid ANC goes further than the traditional ANC feature found on many headsets. It provides external as well as internal microphones for a higher level of noise reduction for better focus and productivity.
Ear Speakers
The Yealink UH48 comes with 30mm loudspeakers with bio-composite diaphragms for a pleasing listening experience. Additionally, you can fine tune the audio characteristics through the audio EQ settings found on the Yealink connect app. We all have our own preferences when it comes to sound, and the UH48 lets you adjust the sound so that it's right for you. And though this isn't a headset that's designed for entertainment, it does well when using it for that purpose. First and foremost, it is a business oriented headset though.
It's All About The Comf
What good is a headset that you may wear all day, if it's not comfortable. Some might argue that all headsets are comfortable, but that isn't the case. Some weigh more than others. Some fit, and feel tighter than others. Some have more padding, which others have better quality and thicker padding. Not to mention the overall design matters as well. So with that in mind, what can you expect when you wear a Yealink UH48?
Here are a few things to keep in mind in determining if this headset would be comfortable or not. Remember, comfort is subjective, so use these points as a guideline.
Weight. The UH48 was designed to be comfortable for all day wearing starting with its weight, which is the first thing to consider when it comes to comfort. It weighs 169 grams, or 5.9 ounces. Some double ear headsets weigh as much as 10 ounces, or more, which makes the UH48 about right for a headset of this type, and not heavy.
Float-On-Air fully padded headband - designed to evenly distribute the pressure across the headband for added comfort. Wherever the band touches your head, it’s met with padding for a comfortable feel. The headband is also adjustable allowing you to find the sizing that’s right for you.
Memory foam ear cushions - with pedal shaped vents that help dissipate heat. This adds to breathability, and overall comfort. The memory foam conforms to the shape and angle of your ears for a personalized fit. The cushion cover is made from a hydrolysis-resistant material to resist sweat, clean easily, and maintain its looks.
Pivoting ear speakers. For a personalized fit, the ear speakers pivot and adapt to the shape, and angle of your ears. So rather than having your ears adapt to the headset, the headset adapts to the shape of your ears.
Adjustable rotating ear speakers - like the headband, the ear speakers can be adjusted for the angle right for you giving you a custom, comfortable fit.
When you combine the adjustability of the headband, the speakers, memory foam ear cushions, and the weight of the UH48, you’ll find this to be a headset that’s comfortable, and one that can be worn all day.

Busylights Standard
The Yealink UH48 comes with integrated busylights to alert those around you that you're on a call. Interruptions can be costly, not to mention frustrating. But with the busylights, others will know when you're unavailable which help to minimize interruptions.
Noise Cancellation
Besides the noise canceling microphone, the Yealink UH48 also comes with Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation for silencing the surroundings.
Distractions can cause you to lose focus, and as a result, be less productive during your workday. The Yealink UH48 helps you keep your focus by dampening down the background noise. Whether that's the sound of noisy coworkers, dogs barking or babies crying, the UH48 Hybrid Noise Cancellation will give you peace of mind and allow you to stay focused.
Need More Noise Reduction?
If noise is a problem where you work, and you're skeptical about how much of it a headset can remove, then consider neep ai noise canceling software to use in tandem with the UH48.
neep works with any audio device, and it works flawlessly to remove unwanted noise from both ends of the conversation. It learns your voice, and then isolates it from others.
Verdict on the UH48
Is the Yealink UH48 a headset worth considering? Without a doubt it is.
The UH48 is affordable, it has a professional sounding microphone, it removes noise so your callers aren't distracted, it removes noise in your environment so you aren't distracted, it's lightweight and comfortable, it has busy lights to minimize interruptions, it has decent speakers for a pleasant listening experience, and you can one that's optimized for Microsoft Teams, all at a price under $100.00.
