CS55: Complete Holiday Package

The holidays are coming and it is time to start thinking about what gift to give the person who has everything already! We all have a few of those people on our lists.

A gift certificate is too impersonal, a bottle of wine is too “done there been given that” and a puppy is just too inappropriate. We would like to suggest an awesome alternative that is sure to please anyone with a home office. The world’s number one selling headset!

You can purchase a CS55 Complete Headset Kit for under $500!

 

The CS55 Complete Headset kit has a ton of new features and includes ear hook, headband, handset lifting device, and an online indicator.

The CS55 Complete Headset kit is the perfect gift for the small business owner and / or home office worker. Of course, that does not mean that you cannot get one for other people on your list. I bought one for my mother-in-law. I can write that because she doesn’t read my blog!

Ergonomics is Economics

Two recent independent field studies show that the frequent problem of neck and back pain experienced by office workers can be significantly reduced and even eradicated by replacing telephone handsets with headsets.

 Ergonomics is Economics

Interest in office ergonomics has radically increased in the past decade, boosted by rising costs associated with ergonomic injuries among office workers known as musculoskeletal disorders (MSD). The importance of organizing office workplaces to match human physical abilities is now widely acknowledged, and traditional desks, chairs and computers are being replaced by new ones that better comply with the human anatomy and working routines performed by today’s knowledge workers. The time has now come to take a closer look at the role ‘phone ergonomics’ plays in this context. …

Gaming Headsets: An Awesome Gift

Well, all I can say is thank goodness that school is back in session! I think I heard a collective sigh from all of the parents at the Headset Express office on September 2^nd!

 

Of course, now that the monumental event of getting our children off to their first day back to school is over, it is time to turn our attention towards preparing for the holidays… I know, I know, it is only September but December has the habit of creeping up pretty fast.

 

I would like to suggest a unique gift idea for pre-teens and teens on your shopping list this year: Gaming Headsets. What is great about giving a gaming headset as a gift to someone in your household is that it is practically a gift for yourself as well. Imagine the  peace, quiet and no more yelling “Turn that noise down or turn it of!!!!”

 

 Headset Express is well known for offering a complete range of telephone office equipment at a great price and with great service. What is not so well known, however, is that we also offer great deals on gaming headsets and equipment. We have some great Plantronics, Coby, and LG gaming headsets so, if you are in the market, check us out.

Office Ergonomics Tip of the Week

This week’s office ergonomic tips come to you straight from a site called The Helping Hand. The Helping Hand is an excerise tool that helps people who are suffering from isssues like carpel tunnel syndrome or burning, tingling, pain, and fatigue in the hand / wrists.

Rest your hands frequently, especially when any tingling, numbness, pain, cramping, etc. occurs.

Try and control your mouse with the lightest possible grip.

Rest your palms, not your wrist, on a wrist-rest or the desktop.

When using a keyboard/mouse, your hands should be even or slightly lower than your elbows. An adjustable keyboard tray mounted under the desktop may be necessary.

Keep your hands in-line with your forearms as much as possible, not bent in/out or up/down at the wrist.

Rest your elbows on your chair’s armrests and adjust them so the weight of your arms is supported by the armrests, not supported by your shoulders.

Use a foot rest if your feet aren’t flat on the floor.

The top of your monitor should be about eye level so you aren’t bending your neck up or too far down.

Sit upright so your head is above your shoulders. Don’t slouch forward.

Take frequent breaks and do stretching exercises to replenish blood flow which is restricted by continuous muscle use, especially involving your hands.

Alter your posture from time to time but keep within the guidelines of correct sitting most of the time.

Sit so the natural hollow stays in your lower back. A good adjustable chair should allow this.

Position your monitor and keyboard in front of you, not to the side.

Use larger barreled pens (1/2″+ diameter) to make them easier to grasp.

Don’t wear wrist splints for extended periods during the day. Some muscles may atrophy.

Don’t type with long fingernails.

Cut back or discontinue the use of tobacco products.

The Helping Hand site has many more ergonomic tips and suggestions so feel free to check them out.

If you want to improve the quality of the time you spend at the office, consider purchasing a CS55 Wireless Headset System. The complete CS55ex complete kit is on sale now at Headset Express.

 

Why Choose the Wireless CS 55 Headset

Among other things, my last post pondered the key reasons people choose wireless headsets. 

After writing that entry, I was reminded of a recent conversation I had with one of my favourite customers. We were discussing his CS 55 wireless headset. He told me that one of the reasons he chose the CS 55 headset because of the handset lifter, which is an option that allows you to answer the phone from anywhere in the office. The main reason that he chose the CS 55 headset, though, was actually the incredibly long continuous talk time. Believe it or not, the CS 55 headset offers 10 full hours of continuous talk time.

There are lots of other benefits to this particular wireless headset, including an incredibly comfortable earpiece, those were simpy the key benefits for him.

Visit Headset Express for more reasons to choose the CS 55 wireless headset.

Workplace and office safety issues

An interesting blog entry was posted not too long ago on the Norsteel Buildings blog about workplace safety issues. The short entry included a Top 10 workplace injuries list, with number one being overexertion. I have to be honest, although it seems obvious to me now, I would not have thought “overexertion” would be the number one cause of prolonged sick days.

To me, overexertion in a warehouse or commercial building site is the equivelent to ergonomics issues at the office. It is a major and very preventable cause of time off, stress, and general unhappiness, yet both employers and employees do not seem to think much nearly as much as they should.

As a provider of wireless headsets for the home office, I am constantly talking to my customers about the ergonomic benefits of headsets in the office  place. Most of my customers, however, seem to want to gloss over that part and talk about other benefits, such as price savings, clarity / quality of sound, etc. I am not complaining, mind you, I am simply surprised.

If you happen to have a wireless headset, please leave a comment on what your main priority was when making the purchase.
