We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want one headset that keeps both ears open to the road, the office and the world around you while you talk, choose ZIOCOM Open Ear Headphones; if you need a Teams-first work headset with a charging case that stretches talk time across days, choose Delton Headset.
These two look like they belong in the same shopping cart, but they solve very different problems. One is built around open-ear awareness and a boom-style ENC mic for people who are constantly half-listening to their surroundings. The other is a platform-certified-style office headset with a docked charging case and a genuinely enormous talk-time figure. Let me break down where each one actually wins.
• ZIOCOM's biggest strength: open-ear bone conduction design that leaves your ears uncovered, plus ENC noise cancelling and a physical mute button on the mic — you stay aware of traffic, coworkers and doorbells while you talk.
• ZIOCOM's biggest trade-off: 10 hours of play or talk time per charge and a 2-hour recharge, so it's a one-shift headset, not a multi-day one. It's also plastic-bodied and open-ear, so it leaks sound and doesn't isolate you from a loud room.
• Delton's biggest strength: 108 hours of total talk time via an 18-hour earbud plus a charging case that adds 90 more hours, with DSP noise cancellation and touch call controls designed around Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, Slack and Skype.
• Delton's biggest trade-off: it's an in-ear bud with a 13 mm driver, so it seals your ear canal — you lose the ambient awareness that makes the ZIOCOM appealing on a road or a shop floor. Charging the case itself takes 3 hours.
• Who ZIOCOM is for: truckers, drivers, delivery riders, warehouse and field workers, and anyone who needs to hear what's happening around them while taking calls.
• Who Delton is for: remote and hybrid office workers, call-heavy professionals and meeting-hoppers who live in Teams or Zoom and hate recharging mid-week.
The ZIOCOM LK06 is an open-ear Bluetooth headset — 22 grams, black, plastic-bodied, with a bone conduction driver and a 48 ohm impedance rating. That last spec matters more than it sounds. Bone conduction sends vibration through the bone in front of your ear instead of firing sound into a sealed canal, which is exactly why the ear placement is listed as "Open Ear" rather than in-ear or over-ear. Your ear stays physically open. You hear your call and you hear the truck behind you.
The call side is where I'd steer a buyer's attention. It uses ENC (Environmental Noise Cancellation) to reduce background noise around your voice, and there's a dedicated mute button on the microphone you can tap when you need to say something to the person in front of you without the person on the line hearing it. That's a genuinely useful detail for anyone who takes calls in a shared cab, a shared office or a customer's driveway. The multifunctional button handles answer, reject, hang up, track skipping and play/pause, and the connection is Bluetooth with a 10-meter range. ZIOCOM lists Bluetooth 5.1 in the feature copy and 5.3 in the style field — either way, it's modern enough for stable audio.
Audio codecs are the other reason some buyers pick this one: aptX-HD and aptX-LL support means low-latency, near-synced audio, which is why ZIOCOM pitches it for watching TV and gaming as well as calls. If you've ever watched a video with a laggy headset, you know that matters.
The trade-offs are real, though. Ten hours of talk or playback, two hours to recharge over USB-C, 250 mAh battery. That's a full workday for most people, but not two. There's no charging case. And because the ear is open, a loud environment will bleed into your call — ENC helps your voice, not your listening experience.
Skip it if you want sealed, immersive audio, need to block out a noisy open-plan office, or want a headset you can leave in a case and forget about for a week.
Delton Headset: Who It's For
The Delton 95X is the opposite philosophy. It's a single in-ear bud with a 13 mm dynamic driver, a composite body, touch controls and a charging case, and the whole package weighs about 4.9 ounces. It's explicitly built around work platforms: Microsoft Teams for answer/end call, plus Google Meet, Zoom, Slack and Skype. If your calendar is back-to-back video calls, that's the use case it was designed for.
The headline number is 108 hours of talk time — 18 hours from the earbud itself, plus 90 more from the charging case. Read that again against the ZIOCOM's 10 hours. If you're the kind of person who resents plugging a headset in every single evening, this is the spec that decides the purchase. You get two-way charging too: through the case, or directly over USB-C if the case is empty or you left it at home.
On the audio side, Delton uses DSP noise cancellation to clean up your voice for the person listening, and the mic is specifically tuned to cut background noise. It's worth being precise here: the noise control field is listed as "Sound Isolation," not active noise cancellation for your ears. So the bud physically seals your canal and keeps some outside noise out, but don't expect the kind of silence a dedicated ANC headset delivers. The benefit you're paying for is cleaner outgoing audio, not a cone of silence around your head.
What you give up: awareness. A sealed in-ear bud means you won't hear a knock, a horn or a colleague walking up behind you. Bluetooth range is 30 feet, which is shorter than the ZIOCOM's 10 meters (roughly 33 feet), though both are fine for desk work. And the case itself takes 3 hours to charge, so plan around that rather than expecting a quick top-up.
Skip it if you work in or around vehicles, need to hear your surroundings for safety, or prefer something that doesn't sit inside your ear canal.
Side-by-Side: Which Should You Choose?
• Best for situational awareness → ZIOCOM Open Ear Headphones. Open-ear bone conduction leaves the canal clear so traffic, machinery and coworkers stay audible.
• Best for extended talk time → Delton Headset. 108 hours total (18 in the bud plus 90 from the case) versus ZIOCOM's 10 hours per charge.
• Best for heavy video-meeting schedules → Delton Headset. It's purpose-built around Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, Slack and Skype call controls.
• Best for drivers and truckers → ZIOCOM Open Ear Headphones. Lightweight, hang-around-the-neck design plus ENC and a mute button fit life behind the wheel far better than a sealed bud.
• Best for low-latency media and gaming → ZIOCOM Open Ear Headphones. aptX-HD and aptX-LL codecs keep audio and video in sync.
• Best for silencing your own background noise on a call → Delton Headset. DSP noise cancellation is dedicated to refining your outgoing voice.
• Best for charging convenience → Delton Headset. Two-way charging via the case or direct USB-C, with the case doing the heavy lifting between sessions.
• Best for a featherweight, forget-it's-there fit → ZIOCOM Open Ear Headphones. 22 grams and a flexible silicone band you can stretch and sling around your neck.
My Verdict
If I had to pick one for myself, I'd go with the ZIOCOM Open Ear Headphones — because the open-ear design plus the mic mute button covers the two things I'd actually use a headset for: staying reachable without going deaf to my surroundings, and killing the mic instantly when I need to talk to someone in the room. The 10-hour battery is enough for a workday, and the aptX support is a nice bonus for video.
That said, if your job is meetings — Teams all morning, Zoom all afternoon — the Delton Headset is the smarter buy. The 108-hour combined talk time and platform-specific controls are hard to argue with for desk-bound work.
ZIOCOM, in my opinion. The open-ear design keeps your ears clear for road awareness, it weighs 22 grams, and the mute button lets you silence the mic without fumbling for your phone. The Delton's sealed in-ear fit works against you behind the wheel.
ZIOCOM lists 10 hours of talk or music playback with a 2-hour USB-C charge from a 250 mAh battery. Delton lists 18 hours in the earbud plus 90 hours added by the charging case, for 108 hours total, with a 3-hour charge time.
Both. Delton states the 95X is specially made for Microsoft Teams (including answer/end call) but also works with Google Meet, Zoom, Slack and Skype.

On specs alone, Delton gives you dramatically more talk time per charge cycle, while ZIOCOM gives you an open-ear design and aptX codecs you won't find on the Delton. Decide which of those two matters more to your day, then compare what each costs.
