1990s: With the introduction of mobile phones, the evolution of headsets reached to its next stage. The headsets now become hands-free and wireless to allow the users use it on the move. As time evolved, the Bluetooth technology was aided to headsets to make it more casual. The only thing disturbing the users were surrounding noise that used to affect the communication.

2000 onwards: The technology did not stopped its steps with wireless headsets but went further to make it more comfortable for office uses. The advancement of technology reaches to its next level when it realized that normal headsets are not a good fit for office environment. Continuing the trend of invention, noise canceling headsets arrived. These headsets were equipped with great noise cancelation technology that cancels the surrounding noise while the user uses it.
