Description

Noise handled on both sides of the call

The Yealink UH48 is the only model in the UH4x range with hybrid active noise cancelling, and in two depth levels at that, so the user can choose between silence and staying aware of the room. The far end is protected by Acoustic Shield 3.0 technology. Of the six microphones, four are dedicated to noise cancelling.

A flagship, not a lightweight

The UH48 weighs 169 grams, the highest weight in the whole UH4x family, where the UH42 is 116 and 160 g, the UH44 125 and 162 g and the UH46 127 and 166 g. That is the price of six microphones and the active noise cancelling electronics. The headset is meant for a fixed workstation with calls all day, not for a user looking for the lightest model.

Controls and hearing protection

The controls cover answering, ending and rejecting a call, volume, play and pause, and microphone mute by lifting the boom. A dual busylight shows colleagues the status from either side. The headset has hearing protection through Peak Block Protection to EN50332 and Australian G616.

Strengths and limits

Strengths

Hybrid ANC in two depth levels, the only one in the UH4x range
Six microphones, four of them dedicated to noise cancelling
A dual busylight, colleagues see the status from either side
Hearing protection to EN50332 and Australian G616
A 1.7 m cable, the longest in the UH4x range
One code covers both USB-C and USB-A, the adapter is in the box

Limits and what to tell the customer

At 169 grams it is the heaviest model in the UH4x family. Against the monaural UH42 at 116 g that is 53 grams more. For users who wear the headset all day it is worth trying beforehand.
The headset is duo only and covers both ears, and we do not carry it in a monaural version. Where the user must hear the room at all times, the UH46 Mono is the right answer.
The speaker is Ø 30 mm, smaller than the 35 mm on the UH42, UH44 and UH46. In call mode it covers 100 Hz to 8 kHz, against 100 Hz to 20 kHz on the other models in the range.
The Teams or UC branch is fixed by the order code, not by a setting. For a Microsoft Teams environment, order 1308151.
In the UH4x range, only the UH42 has memory foam. The UH48 cushions can be replaced, and we confirm the right part for your delivery at order time.
The headset is corded, so the user stays within the reach of a 1.7 m cable. Where leaving the desk is needed, the WH DECT range is the answer, where the WH68 has ANC.

⚑ atlantis note

The UH48 is the only corded headset with ANC

Remember it as a decision rule. When the customer wants the user not to hear the office, the answer in our corded range is the UH48. The UH42, UH44 and UH46, and the UH35 and UH37, have no active noise cancelling; they handle noise on the microphone side, that is for the far end. It is the most common misunderstanding when choosing a corded headset and it pays to clear it up at the start.

Weight and speaker size

The UH48 is not a lightweight model. At 169 g it is the heaviest in the UH4x family and its speaker is smaller, Ø 30 mm against 35 mm on the rest of the range. Both follow from the design of the active noise cancelling. For users who wear the headset all day we therefore recommend lending a sample before ordering for a whole team.

Two ANC depth levels

Active noise cancelling has two levels, not just on and off. The lighter level leaves the user aware of the room, the stronger one damps the office. Show it to users during training, otherwise most people stay on the default setting and never notice the difference.

Who it suits

Recommended deployment
Manufacturer positioning	a corded USB headset for the office and the contact centre, the top of the UH4x range
Place in the portfolio	corded USB headsets, the only model with active noise cancelling
How it differs from the UH46	the UH48 has six microphones and hybrid ANC against three microphones without ANC; but it has a smaller speaker (30 mm against 35 mm), is heavier (169 g) and comes only as a duo
How it differs from the WH68	the UH48 is a corded USB headset, the WH68 is wireless on DECT with a range of up to 185 m; both have hybrid ANC

Good fit

An open-plan office with noise around. A contact centre where concentration has to last a whole shift. A fixed workstation with the computer on the desk. Users who are bothered by the hubbub and want to choose the level of cancelling.

Verify

Whether users are comfortable with 169 g worn all day. Whether duo, that is both ears covered, suits them. Whether the customer runs Microsoft Teams, because of the code branch. Where the computer sits, because of the 1.7 m cable.

Consider another model

The UH46 where noise handling for the far end is enough and weight decides. The WH68 where the headset should be wireless and carry ANC. The UH42 where price decides. The UH46 Mono where the user must hear the room.

The "Verify" and "Consider another model" cards come from the experience of the atlantis team.

Platforms and connection

To a computer

By USB-C cable

The cable is 1.7 m long, the most in the UH4x range. The adapter to USB-A is in the box, so one code covers both port types.

What to check before ordering and deploying

Weight: 169 g is the most in the UH4x family, for all-day wear let users try a sample
Duo only: we do not carry a monaural version of the UH48; for one free ear the UH46 Mono is the answer
Platform branch: Teams (1308151) or UC (1308152), fixed by the order code
ANC levels: show users both depth levels during training
Speaker: Ø 30 mm and 100 Hz to 8 kHz in call mode, while the rest of the range has a 35 mm speaker
Computer ports: the cable is USB-C and the adapter to USB-A is in the box
Cable length: 1.7 m, the longest in the range, but the user still stays at the desk
Management: firmware updates and settings through Yealink USB Connect

The atlantis team will help with every point. On the UH48 we most often help by lending a sample so users can try the weight and both cancelling levels, and by comparing it against the wireless WH68, which also carries ANC.

Management and services

Yealink USB Connect: the manufacturer's tool for managing Yealink USB devices, that is headsets, speakerphones and webcams. It handles firmware updates, feature settings and collecting diagnostic data.

atlantis services for partners

atlantis is a direct importer and distributor, and we supply through a network of specialist partners. The services below are therefore offered to the partner, not to the end customer. The partner sets the scope, according to their own capacity and skills, from a consultation alone to taking on the whole deployment.

Before the decision: a consultation on the model and the order code and a comparison of the suitable variants. We base the recommendation on the user's role, because a contact centre agent, a manager on the move and a shared workstation each need a different headset. We arrange a sample to try so the customer can check comfort, audio and range before ordering for a whole team.
Deployment and configuration: bulk settings and management of the headsets, connection to the communication environment, and advice on linking third-party software and hardware.
Training and documentation: training prepared to match the user's role, plus preparation of the user documentation.
Service and support after the sale: our certified team in Czech, available to the partner throughout the equipment's life. We handle a warranty claim with the manufacturer on the partner's behalf.

Warranty

The standard warranty on Yealink products is 24 months.

FAQ

Does the headset have active noise cancelling?

Yes. The Yealink UH48 has hybrid active noise cancelling (ANC) in two depth levels and dedicates four of its six microphones to noise cancelling. It also carries Acoustic Shield 3.0 technology, which works on the microphone side, that is for the far end. The UH48 is the only model in the UH4x range with ANC.

Is the UH48 lighter than the other models in the range?

No. The Yealink UH48 weighs 169 grams, the highest weight in the whole UH4x family. The UH42 is 116 g monaural and 160 g duo, the UH44 125 and 162 g, the UH46 127 and 166 g. The higher weight follows from the six microphones and the active noise cancelling electronics.

Is there a monaural version of the UH48?

The Yealink UH48 comes only in the duo version, which covers both ears. We do not carry a monaural version. Where the user must hear the room at all times, the UH46 in its monaural version is the right answer.

Why does the UH48 have a smaller speaker than the rest of the range?

The Yealink UH48 has a Ø 30 mm speaker, while the UH42, UH44 and UH46 have Ø 35 mm. In music mode it covers 20 Hz to 20 kHz and in call mode 100 Hz to 8 kHz.

What is in the box?

The Yealink UH48 box holds the headset in the duo version, a water-resistant zip pouch, the USB-C cable with an adapter to USB-A and a quick start guide. The adapter in the box applies across the whole UH4x range; a USB-A-only SKU is not carried here.

When does a wireless headset make more sense than the UH48?

The Yealink UH48 is corded and the user stays within the reach of a 1.7 m cable. If the customer wants active noise cancelling together with freedom to move around the office, the WH68 on DECT is the answer, as it also has hybrid ANC and six microphones, with a range of up to 185 m.
