Yealink BH71 Pro Wireless Bluetooth Mono Headset with Charging Case

A professional headset should fit into your life - not impose on it. It should be light enough to forget you are wearing it. Portable enough to drop into any pocket or bag without a second thought. Battery life that outlasts even the longest working day. And noise cancellation precise enough to make a busy street sound like a quiet office to your callers.

The Yealink BH71 Pro delivers all of this in a headset that weighs just 18 grams.

That is lighter than a standard pen. Lighter than a single car key. Lighter than almost anything else you carry in your pocket. At 18 grams, the BH71 Pro is one of the lightest professional wireless headsets ever produced - and the featherlight earhook design means it stays in place and stays comfortable through an entire working day without any accumulated ear pressure.

The BH71 Pro is an earhook-style Bluetooth headset - a design choice that prioritises portability, discretion, and all-day comfort over the bulk of an over-the-head headband. The earhook is adjustable - pull it out to your preferred length and it conforms securely to your ear. Wearable on either the left or right ear. Gone in seconds when you do not need it.

At the microphone, four MEMS microphones work together in a beamforming array with multiple noise cancellation algorithms, eliminating up to 90% of background noise before your voice is transmitted. This is not a single-microphone noise filter. Four microphones capture your voice from multiple positions while beamforming focuses the sensitivity toward your mouth and the algorithms remove everything else - street noise, office noise, air conditioning, transportation sounds. Whether you are at a desk, in a car, on a train, or navigating a busy street, your callers hear your voice clearly.

The 13mm speaker delivers a high-quality audio experience across the full 100 Hz-20,000 Hz range in music mode, and an optimised 100 Hz-8,000 Hz voice profile in call mode.

What makes the BH71 Pro distinct from the standard BH71 is the portable BHC71P charging case. This compact, pocket-sized case does two things simultaneously: it protects the headset in transit, and it charges it while it is inside. The headset delivers 10 hours of talk time on its internal 160mAh battery. The charging case adds a further 20 hours of talk time from its own battery - giving you 30 hours of total talk time from the headset-and-case combination before you need to find a power socket. Charge the case via USB-C or USB-A. The case provides more than enough power for the entire working week without any mains charging required.

The included BT51A Bluetooth dongle plugs into a USB-A port on your laptop or PC, providing a dedicated, stable Bluetooth connection for PC calls - more consistent than relying on a laptop's built-in Bluetooth in congested wireless environments. Bluetooth 5.2 with a range of up to 40 metres, connecting simultaneously to two devices (laptop via dongle + smartphone via native Bluetooth), with up to eight paired devices in memory.

18 grams. Four microphones. 30 hours total. The headset that goes everywhere you go.

KEY FEATURES

18 Grams - One of the Lightest Professional Wireless Headsets in the WorldAt 18 grams, the BH71 Pro headset is lighter than a pen, lighter than a car key, and lighter than virtually every competing professional wireless headset on the market. This is not simply a specification - it is the defining characteristic of the BH71 Pro's wearing experience. An 18-gram headset with an adjustable earhook exerts negligible force on the ear. There is no accumulated pressure over hours of wear, no earhook discomfort after a long shift, no heaviness at the end of the day. For professionals who wear a headset for many hours and have found heavier over-the-head models uncomfortable, the BH71 Pro's 18-gram frame is a genuine revelation.

Adjustable Earhook - Secure, Comfortable, Wearable on Either SideThe BH71 Pro uses an adjustable earhook design rather than an over-the-head headband. The earhook wraps around the outer ear to hold the headset securely in place during physical activity, movement, and the daily demands of a working day. The hook is adjustable - pull it out to your preferred length to find the most comfortable fit for your ear shape. The headset is wearable on either the left or right ear, making it suitable for all users regardless of ear dominance or preference.

4-Mic Beamforming - 90% Background Noise EliminatedFour MEMS microphones in a beamforming array, combined with multiple noise cancellation algorithms, eliminate up to 90% of background noise from the transmitted voice signal. Beamforming focuses microphone sensitivity toward your voice while the algorithms process the combined input from all four microphones to identify and remove ambient sounds. Office noise, street noise, transport sounds, air conditioning, and background conversation are all addressed. The 90% figure is not a laboratory metric measured against a single noise type - it reflects performance across the diverse, unpredictable noise environments of real-world professional use: commuting, open offices, home environments, and on-the-go calls.

Portable BHC71P Charging Case - 20 Hours of Extra Talk TimeThe BHC71P charging case is the feature that distinguishes the Pro version from the standard BH71. It is a compact, pocket-sized case - small enough to carry everywhere - that charges the headset automatically when the headset is placed inside. The case has its own battery, providing up to 20 hours of additional talk time to the headset's internal 10 hours, for a combined 30 hours of total talk time from the headset-and-case combination. The case charges via USB-C or USB-A. For professionals on multi-day business travel, the BH71 Pro case can power the headset through the full working week without requiring a mains socket.

10-Hour Talk Time - 11-Hour Music - 9-Day StandbyThe BH71 Pro's 160mAh lithium-ion internal battery provides 10 hours of continuous talk time, 11 hours of music playback, and 9 days of standby on a single charge. A full charge of the headset takes up to 90 minutes via the charging case. Combined with the case's extra 20 hours, the BH71 Pro system provides more total wireless talk time than most full-sized professional wireless headsets deliver from their internal battery alone.

13mm Speaker - Full-Range Audio, Optimised EQThe 13mm speaker driver outputs at 110 dB sensitivity across the 100 Hz-20,000 Hz frequency range in music mode, with an optimised 100 Hz-8,000 Hz voice profile in call mode. The compact 13mm driver is engineered for the specific acoustic requirements of the earhook form factor, delivering clear, natural voice audio on calls and genuinely enjoyable music playback between sessions.

Bluetooth 5.2 - 40-Metre Range, 2-Device MultipointBluetooth 5.2 provides a stable, low-power wireless connection with a range of up to 40 metres - sufficient for free movement throughout any home office, corporate floor, or retail environment. Multipoint connectivity maintains simultaneous connections to two devices - laptop via the BT51A dongle and smartphone via native Bluetooth - both live at the same time. Up to eight paired devices stored in memory for instant reconnection.

BT51A Bluetooth Dongle IncludedThe included BT51A Bluetooth dongle plugs into a USB-A port on your laptop or PC, providing a dedicated, optimised connection for PC calls. More consistent and interference-resistant than built-in laptop Bluetooth in busy wireless environments. Plug in, pair, and take calls from your laptop and smartphone simultaneously through the same headset.

Compact and Pocket-Sized - Always Ready, Always with YouThe entire BH71 Pro system - 18g headset, charging case, dongle - is designed to fit in a pocket, a bag compartment, or a jacket pocket without taking up meaningful space or adding meaningful weight. The total package (headset + charging case) weighs under 100g. For hybrid professionals who carry a laptop between home, office, and client sites, the BH71 Pro adds almost nothing to what they are already carrying.

Works with All Major PlatformsCompatible with all major collaboration and communication platforms - Zoom, Google Meet, Cisco Webex, RingCentral, and 100+ UC platforms and operating systems - straight out of the box. Also compatible with Yealink SIP phones via direct Bluetooth connection.

Yealink YUC - Device ManagementManageable via Yealink USB Connect software for individual configuration, firmware updates, and settings management.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

• Hybrid professionals constantly on the move - between home, office, client sites, and public spaces - who need a headset that genuinely fits in a pocket and charges from the case rather than a wall socket
• Commuters and travellers who take calls on trains, in cars, in airports, and in busy public spaces, and need 90% noise cancellation to sound professional regardless of the environment
• Professionals who find over-the-head headsets uncomfortable for extended wear and prefer the earhook form factor for its lower weight and absence of headband pressure
• Professionals needing full-week battery life - the 10Hr headset + 20Hr case = 30Hr total covers five full working days of two hours of calls per day without touching a power socket

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: What is the difference between the BH71 Pro and the BH71 Lite?

A: The headset hardware - 18g weight, 4-mic beamforming, 13mm speaker, 10-hour battery, Bluetooth 5.2, 40-metre range - is identical between the Pro and the Lite. The difference is what comes in the box. The BH71 Pro includes the BHC71P portable charging case (which provides 20 extra hours of talk time) and the BT51A Bluetooth dongle for PC connection. The BH71 Lite includes a carrying case only (no charging case, no extra battery) and no dongle. Choose the Pro if you need full-week battery life from the case and/or PC connectivity via the dongle. Choose the Lite if you connect to your laptop via native Bluetooth and manage charging via cable rather than a case.

Q: How does the charging case work?

A: The BHC71P charging case is a compact, pocket-sized case with its own built-in battery. When the headset is placed inside the closed case, it charges from the case's battery automatically - no cables required. The case provides up to 20 hours of additional talk time to the headset's internal 10 hours, for a combined total of 30 hours. The case itself charges via USB-C or USB-A cable. For professionals who travel without reliable access to power sockets, the case means the headset can be kept fully topped up from a standard power bank.

Q: How does the adjustable earhook work?

A: The earhook is a flexible arm that wraps around the outer ear to hold the headset securely in place. To adjust it, pull the hook outward to increase or decrease the size of the loop to match your ear shape and size. Once adjusted, the hook holds the headset firmly and comfortably in position during movement, physical activity, and extended wearing sessions. The headset can be worn on either the left or right ear - position the headset module over the preferred ear, wrap the hook around that ear, and adjust the hook length for a secure fit.

Q: Can I use the BH71 Pro with both my laptop and my smartphone at the same time?

A: Yes. Connect the BT51A dongle to your laptop's USB-A port for a dedicated PC Bluetooth connection, and pair the headset to your smartphone via native Bluetooth. Both connections are live simultaneously. When a call arrives on your phone while your laptop is connected, you hear it through the headset and can answer directly. Switching between a laptop call and a phone call is handled automatically by the headset when a call begins on the second device.

Q: How does the 4-mic beamforming achieve 90% noise cancellation?

A: Four MEMS microphones are positioned around the headset. In a beamforming configuration, the combined signal from all four microphones is processed to focus sensitivity in the direction of your mouth - capturing your voice strongly - while mathematically suppressing sounds arriving from other directions. Multiple noise cancellation algorithms process this focused signal further, identifying and removing the specific acoustic characteristics of background noise. The combined effect of physical beamforming and algorithmic processing achieves up to 90% reduction of background noise in the transmitted signal across diverse environments.

Q: Is this headset suitable for daily commuting use?

A: Yes - the BH71 Pro was specifically designed for professionals who use it across multiple environments throughout the day, including commuting. The 4-mic beamforming handles transport noise (traffic, train noise, engine sounds) as effectively as office noise. The earhook design stays securely in place during physical movement. The compact, pocket-sized charging case means the headset is always charged and protected in transit. The 18g total weight means it can be worn continuously from leaving home to returning without discomfort.

Q: Does the BH71 Pro have a busylight?

A: No. The BH71 Pro does not include a busylight. The compact earhook form factor does not accommodate a visible busylight in the same way larger over-the-head headsets do. If a busylight for do-not-disturb signalling in a shared workspace is important to your requirements, the Yealink BH70 Mono (which includes an integrated busylight) may be a more suitable choice.

Q: What warranty does the Yealink BH71 Pro come with?

A: The Yealink BH71 Pro is covered by a 2-year manufacturer warranty. Please confirm current terms with your retailer at time of purchase.
