On most headsets, you have to speak loudly to be heard, or turn the volume way up to hear. Both are uncomfortable and unhealthy solutions.

Shure's QuietSpot® headsets solve these problems:

  • You can hear clearly; ambient noise is reduced by the NoiseBlocker earphone.
  • You can be heard easily; the microphone focuses on the sound of your voice.

Sound-Isolating Earphone
Utilizing the same studio-grade components as our award-winning E2c earphones, the QuietSpot sound-isolating earphone delivers crisp, clear audio while fitting snugly and securely inside your ear. This in-ear design reduces background noise by 80%, roughly the difference between a busy city street corner and your office.

Reducing the background noise lets you hear better. With a QuietSpot headset, you'll never have to push the earphone uncomfortably against your ear, or turn up the volume at a risk to your own hearing, just because you're in a noisy environment.

High Energy, Studio-Quality Speaker
Even when noise isn't a problem, most headsets and earbuds just sound bad - either too boomy and muddy, or too thin and tinny. Either way, poor quality makes it difficult to understand what's being said, and quickly causes fatigue.

A QuietSpot headset's earphone uses a studio-quality speaker that delivers clear, consistent sound. Words are clear and distinct. You'll be able to hear callers and voicemail messages easily - so you won't miss important details of the conversation.

Noise-Canceling Boom Microphone (QSHB3/B4)
A headset not only has to sound good to you, it also has to make you sound good to the person at the other end of the call.

The Right Mic
QuietSpot Boom headsets utilize a directional noise-canceling microphone, a microphone that is designed specifically to pick up the sound of your voice while rejecting the noise around you. This microphone rejects 70% of extraneous noise, so the person on the other end of the conversation hears you loud and clear. It simply isolates your voice.

The Right Place
QuietSpot Boom headsets create excellent sound quality by placing the microphone close to your mouth. The sturdy, flexible boom arm lets you position the microphone in the best-sounding location. A foam windscreen is included enabling clear communications even in windy conditions.

VoicePortTM Inline Microphone (QSHI3)
The exclusive VoicePort technology is designed to optimize vocal intelligibility for cellular communications by filtering out background noise and minimizing interference caused by wind—ensuring that you'll be heard in all situations.
