Yealink BH78 Wireless Bluetooth Over-Ear Headset with BT51 USB-C Dongle

There are wireless headsets built for occasional use. And then there are wireless headsets built for professionals who spend their entire working day on calls, in meetings, and switching between devices - and who cannot afford to compromise on audio quality, comfort, or battery life for a single moment of that day.

The Yealink BH76 Plus is built for the second kind of professional.

At the heart of the BH76 Plus is Yealink Acoustic Shield Technology - a five-microphone system that works together to isolate your voice from background noise with extraordinary precision. One directional analog ECM microphone and four analog MEMS microphones combine to create a field around your voice, capturing it clearly while filtering out office noise, coffee shop chatter, traffic, air conditioning, and virtually everything else your environment throws at it. The person on your call hears your voice - and nothing else.

The BH76 Plus does not give you a simple on/off switch for noise cancellation. It gives you three levels of Active Noise Cancellation - allowing you to tune the ANC intensity to match your specific environment. Quiet home office? Light ANC. Busy open-plan workspace? Maximum ANC. You are always in control.

One of the BH76 Plus's most distinctive engineering achievements is its switchable ear cushion system. Two sets of cushions are included - one for over-ear wearing and one for on-ear wearing. Switching between them takes seconds, and the headset's firmware automatically detects which cushion type is fitted and adjusts its audio parameters accordingly. You get the immersive isolation of an over-ear design when you need deep focus, and the lighter, more breathable feel of on-ear when you want more situational awareness. One headset. Two wearing modes. Always optimised.

The retractable hidden microphone arm slides away invisibly when not on a call - preserving the BH76 Plus's clean, premium aesthetic for music, commuting, and personal use. Extend it when you need it. Hide it when you don't.

Up to 35 hours of talk time and 40 hours of music playback on a single charge mean the BH76 Plus does not run out before you do. Qi wireless charging support means you can top it up by simply placing it on a charging pad - or use the included USB-A to USB-C cable for a fast wired charge. A Qi charging stand is also available separately, allowing the BH76 Plus and your smartphone to charge simultaneously from a single unit.

The included Yealink BT51 USB-C Bluetooth dongle provides a stable, low-latency wireless connection to your PC or laptop - giving you the reliability of a dedicated USB connection alongside the freedom of Bluetooth 5.2. Pair up to eight devices in the Bluetooth pairing list and maintain simultaneous connections to two devices at once, switching between your laptop and phone without missing a beat.

Dual-sided busylights on both ear cups illuminate red the moment you are on a call - visible from every direction in your workspace, keeping interruptions at bay without a word.

Compatible with over 100 platforms and operating systems, the BH76 Plus works seamlessly with every collaboration tool your organisation uses - out of the box.

Five microphones. Three ANC levels. Two wearing modes. One headset that works as hard as you do.

KEY FEATURES

Yealink Acoustic Shield Technology - Five-Microphone Voice IsolationThe BH76 Plus is equipped with five microphones - one directional analog ECM and four analog MEMS - working together as a unified acoustic system. Yealink Acoustic Shield Technology uses this array to create a precise voice capture field around your mouth, filtering out everything outside it. Background noise is blocked automatically and continuously, so only your voice reaches your callers - clearly, naturally, and professionally - regardless of where you are working.

Retractable Hidden Microphone Arm - Professional When Needed, Invisible When NotThe microphone arm on the BH76 Plus is completely hidden when not in use, sliding smoothly into the ear cup housing to keep the headset looking clean and premium. Extend it when you are on a call to position the microphone correctly for optimal voice pickup. This design means the BH76 Plus transitions effortlessly between professional work tool and personal headset without any compromise in appearance or audio performance.

Three Levels of Active Noise Cancellation - Tuned to Your EnvironmentThe BH76 Plus offers three distinct ANC levels, allowing you to match noise cancellation intensity to your specific environment. Use light ANC in quieter settings, medium ANC in moderately busy environments, or maximum ANC in loud open offices, cafes, or noisy workspaces. Combined with the passive noise isolation of the memory foam over-ear cushions, average noise reduction reaches 35dB - delivering an immersive, distraction-free audio environment wherever you work.

Switchable Over-Ear and On-Ear Wearing Modes - One Headset, Two ExperiencesTwo sets of ear cushions are included - one for over-ear wearing and one for on-ear wearing. Switching between them takes seconds, and the BH76 Plus's firmware automatically detects the cushion type and adjusts audio parameters to deliver the optimal experience for each mode. Over-ear provides full acoustic immersion and maximum passive isolation. On-ear provides a lighter, more breathable, more portable experience. Choose the mode that suits your environment and your preference - any time, any day.

Dynamic EQ - Automatic Switching Between Music and Call ModeThe BH76 Plus supports dynamic EQ that automatically switches its audio profile between music mode and call mode. In music mode, the full 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency range is active for rich, full-spectrum sound reproduction. In call mode, the profile switches to 100 Hz to 8 kHz - optimised for voice clarity and intelligibility. The transition is seamless and automatic, so you always hear exactly what you need to hear without manually adjusting settings.

Ambient Sound Mode - Hear Through the HeadsetAmbient Sound mode allows you to hear your physical environment through the headset while it is on - letting you have face-to-face conversations, hear important announcements, or stay aware of your surroundings without removing the headset. Ideal for open offices and shared workspaces where you need to switch between call focus and environmental awareness instantly.

Up to 35 Hours Talk Time and 40 Hours Music PlaybackThe BH76 Plus delivers up to 35 hours of continuous talk time and 40 hours of music playback on a single charge - enough to power through an entire working week and beyond without reaching for a cable. Standby time extends to an impressive 360 hours - approximately 15 days - so the headset is always ready when you are.

Qi Wireless Charging and USB-C Wired ChargingThe BH76 Plus charges wirelessly via Qi wireless charging - simply place it on any Qi-compatible charging surface and it tops up effortlessly. USB-C wired charging is also fully supported, with a full charge via cable taking under two hours and wireless charging within three hours. A Qi charging stand for the BH76 Plus is available separately, allowing simultaneous wireless charging of the headset and your smartphone from a single unit.

BT51 USB-C Bluetooth Dongle IncludedThe included Yealink BT51 USB-C Bluetooth dongle plugs into your laptop or PC's USB-C port, providing a stable, dedicated Bluetooth connection optimised for PC call performance. The dongle pairs instantly with the headset and delivers consistent, low-latency audio without the variability of built-in laptop Bluetooth. A USB-A adapter is also included for compatibility with standard USB-A ports.

Bluetooth 5.2 with 45-Metre Wireless RangeBluetooth 5.2 delivers a reliable wireless connection with a range of up to 45 metres - giving you genuine freedom of movement throughout your workspace. Pair up to eight devices in the headset's Bluetooth pairing list and maintain simultaneous connections to two devices at the same time.

Multipoint Connectivity - Laptop and Phone SimultaneouslyThe BH76 Plus supports simultaneous connection to two Bluetooth devices - typically your laptop via the BT51 dongle and your smartphone via direct Bluetooth pairing. Switch seamlessly between a PC call and a mobile call without disconnecting either device or manually re-pairing.

Dual-Sided Busylight - Visible from Every AngleBoth ear cups feature an integrated busylight that illuminates red when you are on a call or in a meeting. Visible from every direction in your workspace, the dual-sided busylight signals your status clearly to colleagues and visitors without interrupting your conversation - reducing unwanted interruptions and helping you stay focused.

Wearing Detection - Auto Pause and ResumeThe BH76 Plus features intelligent wearing detection. When you remove the headset, audio pauses automatically. When you put it back on, it resumes. Intuitive and seamless - you never lose your place in a track or a meeting.

Memory Foam Ear Cushions - Biometrically Engineered ComfortThe ear cushion design of the BH76 Plus is the result of biometric research across hundreds of different head sizes and shapes, ensuring a comfortable, fatigue-free fit for virtually every user. The memory foam cushions conform to the contour of your ear over time, distributing pressure evenly and preventing the hotspots that develop during long wearing sessions.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: What is Yealink Acoustic Shield Technology and how does it work?

A: Yealink Acoustic Shield Technology is a multi-microphone voice isolation system built around five microphones - one directional analog ECM microphone in the retractable boom arm and four analog MEMS microphones in the ear cup housing. Together, these microphones create a precise acoustic field around your voice. The system identifies your voice signal specifically and separates it from ambient background noise - office conversations, air conditioning, keyboard sounds, traffic, and other environmental sounds. The result is voice transmission that is consistently clean and professional regardless of where you are. The system operates automatically and continuously throughout every call.

Q: How do the three ANC levels work and when should I use each one?

A: The BH76 Plus offers three distinct levels of Active Noise Cancellation. The lowest level provides light noise reduction suitable for quiet environments such as a home office or private office. The medium level is designed for moderately busy spaces - shared offices, cafes, and environments with a moderate level of background activity. The highest level provides maximum ANC intensity for loud, busy environments such as open-plan offices, transport hubs, or any space with significant ambient noise. You can switch between ANC levels using the headset's physical controls or via the Yealink Headset App. Combined with the passive isolation of the memory foam cushions, the maximum ANC level achieves an average noise reduction of 35dB.

Q: How does the switchable over-ear and on-ear mode work?

A: The BH76 Plus comes with two sets of ear cushions - one set designed for over-ear wearing, where the cushion fully surrounds the ear, and one set designed for on-ear wearing, where the cushion rests on the ear. Switching between them requires simply removing one cushion set and attaching the other - a process that takes only a few seconds. Once the cushion is in place, the BH76 Plus's firmware automatically detects which type is fitted using sensor recognition and adjusts its internal audio parameters to deliver the optimal performance for that wearing mode. Over-ear mode provides deeper passive isolation, more immersive audio, and maximum ANC effectiveness. On-ear mode provides a lighter feel, better breathability, and a more compact profile.

Q: What is the retractable microphone arm and why does it matter?

A: The retractable microphone arm slides smoothly into the body of the ear cup when not in use, completely hiding it from view. When you need it for a call, you extend it into position in front of your mouth. The practical benefit is twofold: first, the hidden arm gives the BH76 Plus a clean, premium appearance when you are not on a call - making it suitable for personal music listening, commuting, and social settings. Second, positioning the microphone closer to your mouth when extended provides superior voice pickup quality compared to embedded microphones.

Q: What is Dynamic EQ and how does it improve the audio experience?

A: Dynamic EQ is a feature that automatically detects whether you are in a call or listening to music and switches the audio profile accordingly. In music mode, the full 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency range is active, delivering rich, full-spectrum audio. When a call begins, the profile switches automatically to a voice-optimised 100 Hz to 8 kHz range for maximum voice clarity and intelligibility. When the call ends, it switches back to music mode. This happens seamlessly and automatically - you always hear the optimal audio for whatever you are doing.

Q: What is Ambient Sound mode and when is it useful?

A: Ambient Sound mode uses the headset's microphones to capture and feed your surrounding environment into the speakers, allowing you to hear what is happening around you while the headset is on. This is particularly useful in open offices where colleagues may approach you, in environments where you need to remain aware of safety announcements, or any situation where full acoustic isolation would cause you to miss something important.

Q: Does the BH76 Plus support wireless charging?

A: Yes. The BH76 Plus is Qi wireless charging compatible. Place it on any Qi-compatible wireless charging surface and it tops up without cables. A dedicated Yealink Qi charging stand is available as a separate accessory - it holds the BH76 Plus for storage and charging, and allows simultaneous wireless charging of a compatible smartphone from the same unit. USB-C wired charging is also fully supported and charges the headset in under two hours.

Q: What is the BT51 USB-C dongle and why is it included?

A: The Yealink BT51 is a dedicated Bluetooth USB dongle that connects to your laptop or PC's USB-C port and pairs automatically with the BH76 Plus. Rather than relying on your laptop's built-in Bluetooth - which can vary in quality and interference resistance between different laptop models - the BT51 provides a dedicated, optimised Bluetooth connection that consistently delivers stable, low-latency audio for PC calls. A USB-A adapter is also included for use with standard USB-A ports.

Q: How many devices can the BH76 Plus connect to simultaneously?

A: The BH76 Plus supports simultaneous connection to two Bluetooth devices - typically your laptop via the BT51 dongle and your smartphone via direct Bluetooth pairing. You can receive a call on your mobile while connected to a meeting on your laptop, and switch between them seamlessly without disconnecting either device or manually re-pairing. The headset's Bluetooth pairing list stores up to eight devices for instant reconnection.

Q: What does wearing detection do?

A: Wearing detection uses sensors in the ear cups to detect whether the headset is being worn or has been removed. When you take the headset off, audio pauses automatically. When you put it back on, audio resumes from exactly where it stopped. For music and podcasts this means you never lose your place. For call environments, it provides a natural interaction pattern that does not require manual pause and resume.

Q: How does the dual-sided busylight help in an open-plan environment?

A: The busylights are integrated into both the left and right ear cups and illuminate red the moment you are on a call or in a meeting. Because both sides light up, the signal is visible from every direction - whether a colleague approaches from the left, right, or straight ahead. In open-plan offices where interruptions are common, the busylight provides a clear, non-verbal signal that you are engaged and not to be disturbed.

Q: Is the BH76 Plus comfortable for all-day wear?

A: Comfort was a core engineering priority for the BH76 Plus. Yealink conducted biometric research across hundreds of different head sizes and wearing styles to design an ergonomic fit that works for virtually every user. The memory foam ear cushions conform to the shape of your ear over time, distributing pressure evenly and preventing the hotspots that build up during extended sessions. At 285 grams, the headset has a solid, premium feel while remaining comfortable for full working days. The two wearing modes - over-ear and on-ear - also allow you to switch between a more immersive or a lighter feel depending on your preference.

Q: What is the warranty on the Yealink BH76 Plus?

A: The Yealink BH76 Plus is covered by Yealink's standard manufacturer warranty. Please confirm current warranty terms with your retailer at time of purchase, as warranty periods may vary by region and authorised reseller.
