Yealink WH63 Portable DECT Wireless Headset Review

Today, being connected could mean you’re working from a busy office, from home, or even on the go. One thing that’s consistent no matter where you’re working is the need for clear, professional sounding audio for all your voice and video calls.

The Yealink WH63 Portable wireless headset is a game-changer, offering exceptional audio quality, seamless connectivity, portability and long wireless range which is ideal for anyone on the move. In this blog I’ll cover several of the key features of the WH63 Portable, highlighting why this is a headset worth your time to consider.

Care To Watch Rather Than Read?

If you’re more of a visual person, then watching our review video may be more of interest rather than reading through this blog. If so, then check out our video review of the Yealink WH63 Portable below. I think you’ll find it to be well done, and informative.

What Comes In The Box?

Most of us are curious to know what to expect in the box when ordering something. If you’ve got the itch of curiosity, the no need to scratch because here’s what you need to know:

Clear Audio, Wherever You Work

The Yealink WH63 Portable delivers professional sounding audio. It comes with noise cancellation technology called Acoustic Shield that effectively blocks out background distractions, ensuring your voice is transmitted with clarity during calls. Blocking out distracting background noise is generally considered a highly important feature for most people who are shopping for new headsets.

Wideband audio helps to deliver rich, natural-sounding conversations, even in noisy environments. You'll hear every detail and be heard perfectly, which can be particularly helpful especially during those times when working remotely in noisy environments.

If you’d like to know how much of your background noise will be eliminated when using the WH63 Portable, it’s a good idea to try the headset before buying it. This way, you’ll know in advance what to expect in terms of audio quality, and noise reduction. Contact us about trying the WH63 Portable if you’re considering this headset, but unsure if it’s right for you.

Ear Speaker

It’s worth mentioning that this isn’t a headset that’s designed to provide high-end audio. The 13.6mm ear speaker simply isn’t big and powerful enough to pump out that level of audio. But what it is designed to do, which is to provide clear audio for your voice and video calls, it works well. 

If you’re on a lot of calls, and you need to hear your callers clearly, the Yealink WH63 Portable gets the job done effortlessly. But don't expect the kind of audio quality you get with headphones like Bose, or Sony.

Wearing Styles

One of the unique features of the Yealink WH63 Portable is its ability to switch between four different wearing styles.

The headset comes with an ear loop, and eartips, and there’s a lightweight mono headband, and an even lighter behind the neck band available as optional accessories. Having this versatility allows you to choose your preferred wearing style, and the ability to change to a completely different wearing style whenever you like.

Reliable Connectivity for Mobile Professionals

Staying connected is critical when you work in an office, or out of it. The Yealink WH63 Portable keeps you connected to desktop and laptop computers through the included USB-A DECT Adapter. It’s pre-paired, so all you need to do is charge the headset, insert the USB adapter, and you’re ready to go. That’s about as easy as it gets.

The WH63 Portable isn’t a Bluetooth headset, it’s a DECT headset which means you’ll have a better, more stable wireless connection, and longer wireless range. And if you’d like to watch a short video that compares, and explains Bluetooth to DECT, check it out below.

So if you find yourself working while at the Airport, in the local coffee shop, at home with the kids, or anywhere in between, the Yealink WH63 Portable is your travel companion, and communication lifeline to your customers and coworkers with DECT reliability, and long range wireless freedom.

Convenient Portability And All-Day Comfort

Design. When you look at the design of the  WH63 Portable, it’s easy to see that it was created with mobility, and comfort in mind largely due to its compact size and lightweight construction. The WH63 Portable easily packs away for easy storage in your briefcase or backpack. The included carrying case provides additional protection for your headset during travel, and helps to avoid losing the USB Adapter which can easily happen because of its small size.

Weight. The headset weighs less than an ounce at just .67 ounces (19 grams), which makes it among the lightest headsets available. And when you’re evaluating whether a headset is comfortable or not, you can’t overlook its weight.

Wearing styles. Beyond the weight of the Yealink WH63 Portable, there’s the choices you have in wearing styles. Out of the box, you can choose between an in-ear wearing style using the included earbuds, or you can opt to use the ear loops for wearing it over the ear. And for those who don’t like wearing things on, or in their ear, you can get as an option, a lightweight mono headband, or an even lighter behind the neck band. Four distinctly different wearing options help you to find the one that’s most comfortable for you. One thing that’s undeniable is the fact that all four wearing styles are really lightweight. The in-ear version for some, may get uncomfortable over time due to it being inside your ear for potentially long stretches of time, but the good news is you have other ways in which you can wear the WH63 Portable.

Battery Power - The Long & Short Of It

The WH63 Portable provides all day battery life, keeping you connected throughout the workday. You get up to 8 hours of talk time which is enough battery strength to power you through the busiest of days. If not, just plug it in to charge over your lunch break, and when you return to work, you’re good for the rest of the day.

The battery recharges within 3 hours through the included USB-C charge cable, and you get up to 54 hours of battery standby time.

And though 8 hours of battery life doesn’t compare to what you can get with a Bluetooth headset (some offering upwards of 35 hours), it’s inline with other DECT headsets, and sufficient enough juice for using it all day. And if you’re having one of those insanely busy days, and you become concerned about the battery, just charge it over your lunch break, and that will give you peace of mind.

Wireless Range

If you’re shopping around for a new portable headset, one that can travel with you, no doubt you’ve stumbled across Bluetooth headsets. They’re actually hard to miss. The Yealink WH63 Portable uses DECT technology compared to Bluetooth as noted earlier. And one of the differences is in the wireless range with the Yealink WH63 Portable being rated up to 328 feet (100 meters).

Bluetooth headsets normally provide up to 100 feet of wireless range, whereas DECT headsets can go up to as much as four times further. With that extra distance you have more use options. You can be further away from your computer to grab a coffee, consult with a colleague or step out into the warehouse for example. So if having a wider footprint matters to you, and you’re trying to decide between a Bluetooth headset, and a DECT model, such as the WH63 Portable, know that the WH63 will outdistance a Bluetooth headset by a country mile.

A Headset For The Mobile Lifestyle

The Yealink WH63 Portable is a perfect fit for business professionals who value professional sounding audio quality, simple connectivity, and a lightweight, portable design. From frequent flyers to remote workers, this headset allows you to stay connected and communicate effectively, wherever your work takes you.

Easy to transport. The WH63 portable doesn’t require you to pack bulky items because there’s nothing bulky. All you need is the small, lightweight headset, USB DECT Adapter (WDD60), and charge cable and you’re ready to go. It fits neatly into the travel pouch, and into a bag, backpack or briefcase making it easy to transport without being bulky and taking up alot of space.

An Investment in Mobile Communication

The Yealink WH63 Portable is an investment in your ability to stay connected on the go. Professional sounding clear audio, reliable connectivity, and a comfortable, portable design allow you to communicate effectively, project a professional image, and stay productive wherever you happen to be working.
