VXi could be considered a "niche player" in the headset business. Many potential buyers have never heard of the company; but VXi is not a newbie, and is not new to HeadsetHouse.

The company is our neighbor here in New England, and has been in business since the 1980s. HeadsetHouse has been selling some VXi models for several years, and we recently decided to expand our selection. VXi makes fewer models than its big competitors, but they make important products, and make very good products.
  • Unlike Plantronics, VXi did not supply a handful of headsets to go to the Moon. However, VXi has made thousands of headsets for use by by NASA mission control people here on Earth. If VXi is good enough for NASA, it should be good enough for you.
  • The company has innovative technology. They developed the industry’s first telephone line-powered amplifier, able to work without batteries or AC power.
  • VXi vocal quality is second to none. In fact, VXi has produced headsets for Dragon Systems, maker of Naturally Speaking speech recognition software. If you don't want your computer to type "her" when you say "herd," a sensitive and precise VXi headset can make the difference. Of course, VXi vocal fidelity also helps to avoid misunderstanding in people-to-people conversations,  whether you are speaking to someone a mile away, or up in space.

Here's what impresses us (and should impress you) about VXi headsets:
  1. Voice Quality. Transmission and reception have higher fidelity than most headsets. VXi's noise-canceling microphones are particularly effective, so people hear your voice, and not other voices or noises around you.  The VXi  BlueParrott®  wireless Bluetooth® headset, designed specifically for high-noise environments, has become the #1 headset for professional truck drivers. It's also great for noisy convertibles.
  2. Build Quality. Even before you put a VXI headset on your head and start to speak and listen, you'll be impressed. Just try adjusting the microphone boom angle, set the gooseneck, adjust the headband, and you know you're handling a high-quality device -- not something that will start to fall apart in a few months.
  3. Warranty. VXi headsets are built to last for a long time, and most models have a generous two-year warranty. VXi will repair or replace any in-warranty VXi headset or amplifier with a like-new remanufactured VXi product of equal or greater value – complete with new ear cushions and windscreens – free of charge.
  4. Comfort. Designed for all-day comfort in the workplace. You can keep a VXi headset on your head all day long, with no need to remove it to "take a break." It becomes part of your body, and you'll use it without thinking about it.
  5. Compatibility. VXi headsets are compatible with VXi, Plantronics and GN Netcom/Jabra amplifiers and direct connect cords. The VXi feature-filled Everon amplifier/switchbox works with VXi, Plantronics or GN Netcom/Jabra headsets.
  6. Value. VXi headsets are generally less expensive than equivalent models from the "big two" headset brands, but offer features and performance they can't match.

It will take a while to finish adding products to this section.
