RIP, Conference Curator! The fantasy of the conference curator is dead. Instead, let conference attendees choose conference content.

Ich habe dieses Jahr ungefähr 700 Euro für #Headsets ausgegeben. Angefangen hat alles mit der Idee, dass ein gutes #Bluetooth-Headset doch wohl für hochwertige #Meetings unter #Linux, #Windows, #Android, #Teams und Co. reichen müsste – Spoiler: tat es nicht. Das #Bose-Headset ist am Handy großartig, am Laptop aber leider ziemlich unbrauchbar.
Also kam fürs #Homeoffice ein #DECT-Headset von #Yealink dazu. Mit Basisstation, stabil, zuverlässig – eigentlich genau das, was ich gesucht habe. Blöd nur: Eine Basisstation heißt auch, dass man fürs #Büro ein zweites braucht. Also habe ich jetzt zwei davon. Die hat die Firma bezahlt. Zweimal das gleiche, jeweils mit ANC und Mikrophonen die Hintergrundgeräusche aktiv rausfiltern.
Und weil ich schon lange ein #OpenEar-Headset fürs Spazierengehen und #Fahrradfahren wollte, ist danach noch ein #Shokz dazugekommen.
Fazit: Jetzt bin ich zufrieden. Und ich habe gelernt, dass man am PC offenbar wirklich ein dediziertes #Headset nur dafür braucht – alles andere ist Kompromiss. 😉🎧 -
