Hybrid work is now the norm, with 51% of workers adopting a hybrid model, 43% working fully in-office, and 6% working remotely. Yet, this flexibility comes with challenges—constant noise, distractions, and the struggle to maintain professional, high-quality calls in any setting. Whether answering a call from a bustling café or trying to focus in a noisy open-plan office, clear communication is crucial.
Recognizing these evolving needs, Yealink has designed two headsets to fit every work scenario. The UH48 (wired USB) and BH74 (wireless Bluetooth) models provide Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation and advanced four-microphone technology, ensuring uninterrupted productivity wherever work happens. With a single button press, users can activate hybrid ANC to block out distractions and stay effortlessly professional—no matter their surroundings.
Let’s explore what makes these headsets a good fit for hybrid workers seeking comfort, focus, and ease of use.
Comfort, Focus, and Crystal-Clear Calls
When it comes to hybrid work, a headset isn’t just a device—it’s an all-day essential. Whether you’re hopping between meetings, taking calls on the go, or tuning out office noise to get things done, noise cancellation, call clarity, and comfort are non-negotiable. That’s why Yealink’s BH74 and UH48 are designed with these three key priorities in mind.
Hybrid ANC: Silence the Distractions
With hybrid work come unpredictable environments—open-plan offices, coffee shops, and busy households. That’s where Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) comes in. Both models use four microphones and a custom-fit ear design to block out external noise twice as effectively as standard ANC headsets.
“This means that with a single button press, users can instantly tune out distractions, maintaining focus regardless of where work takes them,” explains Ming Lee, Product Manager at Yealink.
Four-Microphone Noise-Canceling: Make Every Call Professional
Background noise isn’t just a distraction for the speaker—it can also affect how professional they sound on calls. That’s why the UH48 and BH74 are equipped with four advanced microphones and Yealink’s Acoustic Shield Technology 3.0 (using an AI-powered voice isolation algorithm) and are also certified for Microsoft Teams Premium Open Office.
“This ensures only the user’s voice comes through—loud, clear, and distraction-free,” Lee notes.
“While the hybrid ANC functionality offers peace and quiet for the user wearing the headset – the four-microphone noise-cancelling also ensures they are heard loud and clear by all other parties on the call.”
All-Day Comfort
Yealink engineers analyzed extensive user data to create lightweight headsets with an ergonomically balanced design and pressure-relieving headband.
“Wearing comfort is a top priority for us, since unlike music headphones – work headsets are often worn for long periods of time,” Lee says.
Soft memory foam ear cushions adapt to each user, ensuring a balance of support and breathability, and the materials are water-resistant, sweat proof, and even environmentally sustainable.
The Extra Mile: Other Valuable Features
Beyond comfort and noise cancellation, both the BH74 and UH48 models offer additional perks for seamless hybrid work. The UH48’s plug-and-play USB-C design with USB-A adapter ensures instant connectivity, while the BH74 boasts an impressive 30-hour battery life—so most users only need to charge it once a week. Dual busy lights signal when the user is in a call, minimizing distractions; and premium 30mm speakers with adaptive EQ enhance sound quality. Built with durability in mind, the headsets also feature replaceable ear cushions in addition to hydrolysis-resistant leather. Finally, both models are UC-certified, with a Microsoft Teams-certified variant available for effortless professional communication.
“Our goal in designing these two models was to offer a simple solution that caters to the most burning needs of hybrid workers,” Lee says.
“By combining premium noise cancelling capabilities with ultimate wearing comfort, they allow for hours of interruption-free productivity,” she concludes.
