Yealink's BH74 Bluetooth headset takes remote communications to the next level with some jaw-dropping features that make you wonder how you survived without it before! Offering extreme flexibility and seamless communication virtually anywhere, this headset is ideal for mobile, hybrid and remote workers, helping to maximize communication quality while minimizing fatigue.

This article reviews some of the noteworthy innovations of this headset and examines the available variations.

Headset audio highlights

One of the BH74's most notable features is its ability to isolate both you and your conversation partner from ambient noise. 

Its binaural design, combined with its hybrid active noise cancellation, helps reduce distracting sounds in your environment. It has two rear microphones, one on each earcup, that constantly monitor background noise and actively reduce it for you, helping you to focus on your work.

Similarly, Yealink's Acoustic Shield Technology 3.0 helps to make your voice clearer by filtering out any distracting sounds from the audio sent to your remote party.

Convenience

Yealink takes pride in paying special attention to the comfort of its BH74 headset users.  Its replaceable ear cushions ensure a comfortable fit even when worn all day. It's almost like a soft, cloud-like hug for your ears.  

The two oval-shaped ear cups rotate on two axes to ensure that each cushion sits flush against the ear, providing both comfort and a noise-reducing seal. The ergonomic headband features a soft pad that conforms to your head and evenly distributes pressure from the 150-gram, lightweight headset.

Ergonomic features

Answering a call is as easy as lowering the boom into position to start your call.  To mute during a call, simply raise the boom ― no more fumbling around to find the mute button! Two dual busy lights, one on each side, let others around you know you're on a call and shouldn't be disturbed. 

The headset also features automatic wear detection. If you are listening to music, the headset automatically pauses when you remove it. When you put the headset back on, the music resumes.  Volume, mute, play/pause, and power buttons are ergonomically placed for easy one-touch control.

Additional high-tech technology

Using the Yealink Connect app for Android and iOS mobile devices or Yealink's USB Connect software for PCs, you can personalize your audio experience with preset or custom adaptive equalizer settings and a host of other parameters.  

The BH74 offers one of the longest battery life in the market for devices of its kind.  With up to 32 hours of talk time and 65 hours of music playback, you can use your device for days on a single charge. In a pinch, you can get 45 minutes of battery autonomy with a 5-minute quick charge, or fully charge your device in just 45 minutes or less.

The BH74 has two charging options, one that can be charged using a standard USB cable and another that comes with a charging stand. Use the stand when the headset is not in use to ensure it's always fully charged and ready to go.

The headset can connect to two devices simultaneously and can be paired with up to 8 devices, connecting to each as needed. Bluetooth connectivity provides a high level of mobility with a wireless range of up to 50 meters.

Device compatibility

The BH74 has been tested with over 100 platforms and operating systems, ensuring seamless connectivity and effortless collaboration. Platforms such as Zoom, Google, RingCentral, Genesis, 8x8, and Mitel have all been tested and supported.

It is also highly compatible with virtually any IP phone that supports Bluetooth or a USB Bluetooth dongle, such as the BT51-C, with or without a USB-C/A adapter. Phones such as Yealink, Cisco, Avaya, Poly, Snom and Grandstream are compatible with the BH74.

In addition, the BH74, with or without a stand, is available in a Unified Communications (UC) variant and a Microsoft Teams Certified variant. The latter has a nifty Teams button that allows users to join a meeting with a quick tap.

Microsoft Teams integration

For organizations and individuals that have invested in Microsoft Teams as their primary collaboration platform, the Teams variant is an excellent investment. The BH74 is certified for Microsoft Teams Premium Open Office, an advanced offering that builds on the traditional Teams experience. 

Teams Premium includes additional features that help organizations reimagine flexible work and make Teams meetings and calls smarter, more engaging, and more secure. The Open Office component of the certification confirms that the headset is designed for open office environments and meets very specific and stringent standards for microphone quality, noise reduction, and voice pickup.

Conclusion

The Yealink BH74 Bluetooth headset is an excellent choice for professionals who require exceptional audio quality, comfort, and advanced features for unified communications. With industry-leading noise cancellation, ergonomic design, and long battery life, it ensures an excellent experience for mobile, hybrid, and remote workers alike. Whether for business calls, music, or Microsoft Teams collaboration, the BH74 is a versatile and reliable headset that can enhance productivity and comfort in any work environment.
