After testing more than four dozen popular headsets, we’ve found that the Poly Voyager Focus 2 is the best wireless headset and the Jabra Evolve2 30 is the best wired headset. If you’d prefer an old-school monaural Bluetooth headset that wraps over one ear, we like the Poly Voyager 5200 UC.

If you want the top noise-cancelling headphones, opt for the Bose QuietComfort Ultras, or if you prefer water-resistant earphones for working out, check out the Jabra Elite 10 Gen 2. Whatever your preference, PCMag's headphone reviews provide all the details you need to make an informed decision.

This list is my pick of the best headsets and headphones for the home office. Sony 's WH-1000XM5 is my favorite overall, closely followed by the Cleer Enduro ANC for the best value. If you're locked into Apple's ecosystem though, then you can't get better than its AirPods Max.

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless is our top pick for wireless headsets thanks to its excellent sound quality, active noise cancellation (ANC), support for two USB audio sources, and hot-swappable battery. On the wired side, the Razer Blackshark V2 is affordable, sounds great, and has a fantastic microphone.
