Microphone Usage

The boom microphone can be rotated up for listening only, or rotated down to take a call or participate in a video conference. Ensure the microphone is positioned close to your mouth for optimal voice pickup.

Bluetooth Multipoint

When a dongle connection is not available, the Go Work Gen 2 supports Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity with a range of 30+ feet. With Bluetooth Multipoint technology, you can connect to any two devices simultaneously (e.g., a laptop and a mobile phone). This allows for seamless transitions between devices without needing to adjust settings.
