Description
The only model in the range with active noise cancelling
The Yealink WH68 handles noise on both sides of the call. For the user it is damped by hybrid active noise cancelling, for which four of the six MEMS microphones are dedicated. The far end is protected by Acoustic Shield 3.0 technology, which works on the microphone side. Within the WH6x range the WH68 is the only model with active noise cancelling.
DECT to the desk, Bluetooth to the mobile
The earpiece holds its link to the WHB680 base over DECT with a range of up to 185 m, the highest figure in the range. The base also carries Bluetooth 5.3. Battery life is up to 16 hours of talk time on DECT and up to 32 hours on Bluetooth, with 19 and 48 hours for music. A charge takes 1.5 hours.
Base, dongle or dock, depending on the workstation
The same earpiece is ordered in three versions. With the WHB680 desk base for a fixed workstation. With the WDD60 dongle weighing 4.5 g on the Hybrid version, where DECT range is 150 m and Bluetooth 50 m, that is for a user who travels with the headset. And with a dock carrying an LCD display on the Workstation version, where the dock also handles a speakerphone function. The version is fixed by the order code and does not change afterwards.
Strengths and limits
Strengths
Hybrid ANC with four dedicated microphones, the only one in the WH6x range
Range up to 185 m, the highest figure in the range
Up to 32 hours of talk time on Bluetooth and up to 48 hours of music
Bluetooth 5.3, the newest version in the WH6x range
A dual busylight in the earpiece and a carry case in the box
Limits and what to tell the customer
The headset is stereo 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 WH64 Mono is the right answer.
This is not a light, portable headset. The earpiece weighs 155 g and the desk base another 178 g, and it needs a power adapter. For carrying around, the Hybrid version with the WDD60 dongle is the one.
The BHC74 charging stand is not in the box, it is an optional accessory. The earpiece charges in the base.
For code 1208741 we will confirm the box contents of the "with Charging Stand" version at order time, and the platform branch as well. We confirm both before ordering.
For the Workstation version (1208738) we confirm the box contents and the Teams or UC branch at order time. Do not put it into a bid that requires a certification without our confirmation.
⚑ atlantis note
When to reach for the WH68 instead of the WH64
Noise in the room decides. The WH68 is the only model in the WH6x range with active noise cancelling, and a hybrid one at that, with four of its six microphones dedicated to it. The WH64 has three microphones and noise handling on the microphone side, that is for the far end, not for the user. In an open-plan office with noise around, that is the main argument. Where noise is not the main topic, the WH64 offers the same 185 m of range, monaural and duo versions and a lower price.
Base, dongle or dock
The WH68 (1208655, 1208713) has the WHB680 desk base and 185 m of range. The WH68 Hybrid (1208714) has a WDD60 dongle weighing 4.5 g in its place, 150 m of DECT range and 50 m of Bluetooth, and a carry case and a USB-A to USB-C adapter in the box. The WH68 Workstation (1208738) has a dock with an LCD display and a speakerphone function, 548 g. One cannot be added to the other later.
The BHC74 stand is an accessory
On the WH68 with the desk base the earpiece charges in the base and no stand is needed. The BHC74 charging stand is an optional accessory, that is not part of the box, including on the Hybrid version. For code 1208741, which carries the stand in its name, we confirm the box contents before ordering.

Good fit
An open-plan office with noise around. A user whose day is mostly calls and meetings. Operations that switch between the computer and a mobile phone. Workplaces where users move around the floor.
Verify
Whether the customer runs Microsoft Teams, because of the order-code branch. Whether stereo, that is both ears covered, suits the users. Whether they want a base, a dongle or a dock. How many hours a day the headset will be in use.
Consider another model
The WH64 where noise is not the main topic and a monaural version is needed. The WH66 where the base should offer a touch display and a speakerphone. The WH63 where weight on the head decides. The UH range for a corded connection with no battery.
The "Verify" and "Consider another model" cards come from the experience of the atlantis team.

What to check before ordering and deploying
Platform branch: Teams or UC, fixed by the order code and not changeable afterwards
Base, dongle or dock: the WH68, WH68 Hybrid and WH68 Workstation are three different codes and cannot be swapped later
Stereo: the WH68 covers both ears, we do not carry a monaural version; for one ear the WH64 Mono is the answer
Active noise cancelling: check that the users really need it, otherwise the WH64 with the same range is enough
Range: the range is up to 185 metres as a single figure, obstacles in the space shorten it
Charging stand: the BHC74 is an optional accessory and is not in the box
Codes 1208741 and 1208738: we confirm the box contents and the platform branch before ordering
Management: firmware updates and settings through Yealink USB Connect
The atlantis team will help with every point. On the WH68 we most often help decide between the WH68 and the WH64, that is establish whether noise in the room really is the issue, and lend a sample so both headsets can be compared on site.
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 WH68 has hybrid active noise cancelling and dedicates four of its six MEMS microphones to it. It also carries Acoustic Shield 3.0 technology, which works on the microphone side, that is for the far end. The WH68 is the only model in the WH6x range with ANC.
Is there a monaural version of the WH68?
The Yealink WH68 comes in a stereo version only, that is duo, which covers both ears. We do not carry a monaural version. Where the user must hear the room at all times, the WH64 Mono with 185 m of range is the right answer.
What is the difference between the WH68 and the WH68 Hybrid?
The Yealink WH68 has the WHB680 desk base with a DECT range of up to 185 m and the earpiece charges in it. The WH68 Hybrid has no desk base, a WDD60 dongle weighing 4.5 g takes its place, the DECT range is 150 m and the Bluetooth range 50 m, and the box holds a carry case and a USB-A to USB-C adapter. The earpiece is the same on both.
Is a charging stand in the box?
The Yealink WH68 has no stand in the box, the earpiece charges by resting in the WHB680 base. The BHC74 charging stand is an optional accessory, including on the Hybrid version. For code 1208741, which carries the stand in its name, we confirm the box contents before ordering.
What is the range in a partitioned office?
The Yealink WH68 has a single range figure, up to 185 metres, and obstacles in the space can shorten it. For a specific floor we recommend a sample and a check on site.
Is the Workstation version certified for Microsoft Teams?
The Yealink WH68 Workstation is carried under code 1208738. We confirm the Teams or UC branch for this code at order time, and the box contents as well.
