Accutone Technologies Limited is a manufacturer and marketer of telephone and computer headsets.

Its mother company started out manufacturing loudspeakers in 1969. It is the only headset brand in the region to focus solely on telephone headsets.Fact|date=February 2008 Their original products, the TM333 telephone headset and 1100 telephone amplifier, received popular response from start-up companies and small call centers which cannot afford other relatively expensive brands.Fact|date=January 2008

Accutone's operations started out in Hong Kong, and have since expanded to local headquarters in the United States, United Kingdom, Israel, Mexico, Japan, and Singapore.

Product positioning

One of the main differences between Accutone's headset and other brand names is its price competitiveness.Fact|date=February 2008 The company positioned its products to be much more affordable, meanwhile keeping many key features demanded by professional users: noise-cancelling microphones, acoustic shock protection (ASP), quick-disconnecting cables, sound pressure level (SPL) limits, etc. This was a breakthrough in the market; prior to their products, telephone headsets have always been regarded as high-priced office equipment.Fact|date=February 2008 But since then, headsets are now seen more as a standard communication tool.

Ergonomics

Along with other developers like Plantronics, work safety is one of the primary concerns promoted by Accutone. They have in the past been highly involved in educating office workers in headset ergonomics.Fact|date=February 2008
