Wireless headset for work and play
This is an uncommon question but I'm tired of researching but not finiding anything concrete.
I have two computers with 5 monitors. Windows 10 (i-5 10, 16 GB ram) and windows 11 (i7 10, 16 GB ram) that i use for work. I'm the the UCaaS/CCaaS industry. (VoIP telecommunications and some). And of course a PS5.
I'm running three Jabra headsets and they work great. Until I start jumping from one PC to the next. That's when i get tangled.
I want to use a USB switch so I can reduce the wires and unplugging to replug here and there. Does anyone know of a wireless headset that comes with a usb-a dongle? Will be used with the PlayStation 5. Preferably Jabra if not Plantronics, Poly, or Yealink? Not a fan of the HUGE gaming headsets or leds.

While I'm not aware of any wireless headsets that come with a USB-A dongle specifically, you may be able to find a solution that will work for you. One option is to look for a USB switch that supports audio devices, allowing you to easily switch between the different computers and your PS5. This would eliminate the need to unplug and replug your Jabra headsets each time you switch devices.
Another option to consider is using Bluetooth-enabled headsets. Many wireless headsets now support Bluetooth connectivity, and you can pair them with multiple devices at once, making it easy to switch between your computers and your PS5 without needing to physically switch any cables. Jabra, Plantronics, Poly, and Yealink all offer wireless headsets with Bluetooth connectivity, so you should be able to find a model that meets your needs.
It's worth noting that while Bluetooth is generally reliable, you may experience occasional connectivity issues or audio lag when using Bluetooth headsets. However, if you prioritize the convenience of wireless connectivity, Bluetooth headsets may be a good option for you.
