Dell Pro Wireless ANC Headset WL5024

The Dell WL5024 headset is a wireless ANC over-ear headset for South African professionals in open-plan offices who need clear audio for calls.

Dell WL5024 Headset — Wireless ANC Professional Audio

The WL5024 uses active noise cancellation to reduce ambient sound from open-plan office environments. This enables clearer focus and more intelligible call audio in noisy surroundings. The USB 2.4GHz dongle provides low-latency audio for video conferencing. Bluetooth enables simultaneous pairing with a mobile phone for call handling. The headset is certified for Microsoft Teams, with Teams button integration for answer, mute and call control. The microphone includes noise suppression to reduce background noise picked up during calls. Find details at the Dell website.

ANC Headsets for South African Open-Plan Offices

South African professionals in open-plan offices with ambient noise from colleagues will find the Dell WL5024’s ANC a meaningful productivity improvement. ANC reduces the cognitive load of filtering out background noise during calls and focused work. The wireless design eliminates cable clutter and allows movement within the desk area without disconnecting. The dual-connection (2.4GHz for PC and Bluetooth for phone) enables answering a mobile call without switching headsets. Browse professional headsets in the Peripherals section at Briggi Tech.

ANC vs Passive Noise Isolation

Active noise cancellation electronically reduces low-frequency constant noise (air conditioning, office hum, traffic) through destructive interference. Passive noise isolation physically blocks higher-frequency sounds through the ear cup seal. The WL5024 combines both. For very loud environments such as manufacturing floors or call centres, a dedicated noise-isolating or wired headset with a boom microphone may provide better isolation than ANC alone.

The Dell WL5024 charges via USB-C and provides up to 39 hours of battery life per charge. Daily charging is unnecessary for most users. It supports Teams and Zoom call controls from the ear cup buttons. This reduces the need to interact with the PC during active calls.
