Wireless Headset for personal communicator

Happy Monday ---
Which brand/model headset is being used outthere for personal communicator/soft phone? I am using USB headset Logitech, but I have been asked to get wireless instead. Need to alert users to check their laptop for Bluetooth capabilities.
Many Thanks,
A

I strongly recommend Plantronics headsets, also Jawbone is highly recommended and supported by Cisco:

Recommend headset for IP communicator

Just doing some research and wondering if there is a choice set up that everyone uses? Looking for a usb based wireless headset for softphone. Let me know if there is a tried and true combo.

Hi Mike,
Just to add to Greg's good info;
About Choosing Headsets and Handsets for Cisco IP Communicator
Even though internal testing of third-party headsets and handsets for IP Communicator has been performed, Cisco does not certify or support products from headset and handset vendors. Because of the inherent environmental and hardware inconsistencies in the locations in which IP Communicator is deployed, there is no one best solution that is optimal for all environments. Cisco recommends that customers test the headsets and handsets that work best in their environment before deploying a large number of units in their network.
The primary reason that support of a headset or handset would be inappropriate for an installation is the potential for an audible hum, either a hum heard by the remote party, or by both the remote party and the IP Communicator user. Causes for the hum range from electrical lights near the PC to the PC power source itself. In some cases, a hum experienced by a user using an audio device that is plugged directly into the PC USB port may be reduced or eliminated by using a powered USB hub.
In some instances, the mechanics or electronics of various headsets can cause remote parties to hear their own voices echo back when they speak to IP Communicator users. The IP Communicator user will not be aware of the echo.
Finally, some analog headsets do not match the electrical characteristics for which some soundcards are designed. The microphones on such headsets are frequently too sensitive, even when the input levels in IP Communicator are reduced to their lowest values; the voices of users on such headsets will sound distorted to remote parties.
It is important to ask IP Communicator users whether a particular headset sounds good to them. In addition, remote parties should be queried as to the reception from IP Communicator when using a particular headset.
Testing performed in Cisco labs has shown that the Plantronics DSP 300 and Plantronics DSP 400 have performed well with IP Communicator, but it remains the customer's responsibility to test the headsets in their environment.

Wireless headset for iPhone

Hi !
I´ve just converted from a ordinary SoneEricsson-user to now a iPhone 3GS-user. I´ve now concluded my new step and found out that I´m satisfied with everything beside that I´m missing my bluetooth headset from SonyEricsson - a headset with earplugs like the one you use for iPod but without wire connection to the phone. Up to now I´ve only found wireless headsets for the iPhone you must put on the ear all the time - you look like you are working with telephone support or CSI-gards
I´d be greatful if someone could recommend me a website where I can order my typ of headset for my new iPhone.

The BT profile that might accomplish this is not on the iPhone, but even if it were you would not be happy with the results. Go for a good wireless microphone.

Is there a "Cisco Recommended" wireless headset for the SPA 504G Phones?

Hello, Is there a "Cisco Recommended" wireless headset for the SPA 504G Phones?
Please let me know. Thank you, Paul

Hi Paul,
My recommendation would be the "Plantronics Savii 700 series" which have worked consistently and without issues, you need the HL-10 Handset lifter with them which work with the SPA-500 series.
The Savii series come as DECT for when you are using it with a phone (Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better reception than Bluetooth) and Bluetooth for when you have it synced with a computer at the same time, it also comes with combination headset connectors so you can have one over the head, or around the neck or even just hanging over the ear.
I fully recommend them with the 500 series phones.
Cheers,
David.

Wireless Headset for my MacBook Pro

Dear Friends,
I need a Wireless Headset to make and receive VOIP calls (skype, ichat, SJphone, etc.) in my MacBook Pro 2.33 (MacOS 10.5.2)...
At home I have a “GN Netcom GN 9330 USB wireless Headset” that is very good but it is not portable and needs an AC Power Adapter.
I try the “Microsoft LifeChat ZX-6000 Wireless Headset” of a friend of mine that is a USB Wireless Headset, but this doesn’t work with MacOS.
I already tried several bluetooth headsets but all have a very poor audio quality. The sound comes and goes out with interference and with interruptions like “cuts”.
I have heard about “Plantronics Voyager 510-USB Bluetooth Headset System” as a good option, but I am afraid of spending money with it and then becoming a bad option.
Can anybody tell me something about this device??? As the MacBook has Bluetooth can I only buy the Plantronics Voyager 510 Bluetooth instead of Plantronics Voyager 510-USB Bluetooth???
Can anyone recommend me a good Bluetooth headset to pair up with my Macbook Pro for VOIP use. OR a good wireless USB headset???
Sincerely,
Paulo
(sorry for my bad english)

For charity, no soul can answer me?
Please...
Thanks,
Paulo

I want to buy a wireless headset for my iPad that will allow me to lissen to a video while blocking out any other sounds in the room yet is comfortable. I do not have any experience with headsets so I do not know what to expect.

I want to buy a wireless Bluetooth headset for my iPad that will allow me to listen to a video while blocking out any other sound in the room. I tried a philips 6000 earplugs but it was not good at blocking out sound. Can anyone give me some suggestions. I see lots advertised but do not know which one to chose.

Take a look at HeadRoom (headphone.com). It's a fabulous resource for all types of headphones, with great guides and useful reviews.

Cisco Model 870 router for home office connected to WRT160NL wireless router for personal use

I am using a Cisco Model 870 router for home office. I just bought a WRT160NL wireless router for home use. I setup the personal wireless router off the personal port of the 870 and can connect with my PC but not with my MAC machines. It can see the Network but when it asks me for passwords, it says they are wrong, which after several attempts I know they are correct.
The new router is setup as WPA2 personal. Can you advise?

I think I answered my own question. I tried downloading something on my desktop and checked my cellular usage afterwards didn't go up so it's using my home internet and not my data plan.

Can I purchase a wireless headset for Nano

I am interested in purchasing the newest version of the iPod Nano, but does it work with a wireless headset? If so, any recommendations on the most compatible model?

i hear ya when it comes to working out and getting the wire in the way...its a pain.
there are bluetooth headsets for talking only...
you have to get an A2DP transmitter to connect to your iphone then get bluetooth headset that goes with that transmitter, but can be expensive.
thanks to another member of these forums, i looked at the INFINXX AP23 by Brando cost $62US...its the smallest transmitter i could find and according to the website i was on, the MOTOROLA S9-HD bluetooth headset works great with it, which costs $130US.
you wont be able to make or receive calls using this headset though.

Wireless headset for transferring

Has anyone ever heard of a wireless headset that would allow receptionist to transfer calls right from a headset? I assume there's some kind of dialpad that would be attache don a belt. Sounds crazy, but customer says they have that on the old phone system.

yeah that does sound crazy!

Wireless headset for phone and ipod

I want to know what is and where i can find a good headphone for my iphone that works both for the phone and ipod.

If you want it to be a bluetooth (wireless) one i would recommend waiting till the 3.0 update if at all possible as sereo bluetooth will then be built in (assuming you have an iPhone 3G or iPod Touch 2G)
Your options should then broaden greatly once this update comes out

What is going on with the Sony Wireless Gold Headset for the PS4?

Can anyone tell me what is happening with the new Sony Gold Wireless Headset for the PS4? Seen here: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/gold-wireless-stereo-headset-for-playstation-4-and-playstation-3/3353002...
The release date provided by Sony was 2/10/2014. Every other store and website, including Amazon, Gamestop, etc. is selling these now. Best Buy still has them listed as a "Pre-Order". I went to a store today, and they didn't have them out on the shelf. When I inquired about them, they told me that they had them in stock in the back, but were NOT allowed to sell them to customers. No reason was given. I then called the only other store in my area, and they too said that they have them in stock, but due to instructions from corporate, were NOT allowed to sell them to customers.
This flies in the face of everything I'm seeing online, which is that people are walking into other Best Buy locations and buying them without issue. The website still has them up in Pre-Order status, but does say will ship them in 1 Business Day. I would really like to buy these from BB today, rather than waiting for shipping or getting them from Amazon. There is NO reason why these shouldn't be able to be sold yet.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on?

Hello MMcCraryNJ,
This headset looks pretty great! I can certainly understand wanting to pick a pair up as soon as possible.
I’m not sure what may have been going on, but it appears to be resolved at this time since the listing on BestBuy.com now has these as “Add to Cart.” If they were still listed as “Pre-Order” over the weekend, it’s entirely possible that the SKU hadn’t been made available to sell yet in store either. Stores may have had them in stock, but the system may not have allowed the sale. I apologize for any inconvenience that this caused.
I understand that you had been looking at other options for purchasing this headset, but if you’re still looking to buy one you should be able to do so at any Best Buy store that currently has them in stock or through BestBuy.com.

Blackberry wireless headset HS-700 dials one number only

I just got a new wireless headset for my blackberry curve. It's supposed to be new, in box. Now that it's set up and connected, when I command it to dial a call it calls the same number ... An 870 area code number I don't know. No matter what I tell it.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello BobbiOlson and welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
Sorry to hear you are having issues with your Bluetooth® headset and your BlackBerry® Curve™ 9300 smartphone.
Does this mysterious number appear in your Contacts?
If you were to go to your Contacts and select the number to dial, are you able to manually dial the number or does it default to the 870 number?
If you disconnect the headset does this still happen?
Thanks!

Online Indicator for IP Communicator???

I am running the Cisco IP Communicator 2.1.4 and I use a wireless headset for my PC. Does anyone know of a product that functions with the IP Communicator to display online status? With physical handsets you can get online indicators from Plantronics that flash when you are on a call using your wireless headset. I have not been able to find anything of the sort for a PC to use with a softphone. It is irritating for me, and people wanting to talk to me, when I am on a call and people don't realize it.
If anyone know of any such product, I would very much appreciate the heads up about it.
Thanks.
Rob

Hello Sukh,
You need to be able to route to the voice network from the data network. What is the default gateway on your network, the UC or ASA? If it is the ASA, you will probably need to add a static route on that device to the voice network.
Also, you might need to define the TFTP server IP address in the IP Communicator application. Finally, pay close attention to the NIC you are using on the PC. The MAC of the NIC being used must be the MAC associated with the ephone. If you have multiple NICs, ie one for wired and one for wireless, you can set in IP Communicator which NIC to use.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have additional questions regarding this.
Thanks,
-john

IPhone as wireless headset

I know that the iPhone supports Bluetooth wireless headsets, but can the iPhone serve as a wireless headset for my computer? The obvious advantage being the ability to pause the computer when receiving a call or to mix audio sources, e.g. alerts, from both the computer and the iPhone. I can pair my iPhone via Bluetooth with my computer but then it says that no services are available from the iPhone.

No.
The only Bluetooth service currently on the iPhone is the headset.
