I HATE having to hold a phone to my face for hours while being ignored by tech support!

No, but.........

two things: (ha! whooooooosh!)

1. Ask around the users before buying to ascertain if any of them have any hearing difficulties. Someone may be wearing an "in ear" aid that you can't see..... If anyone DOES have hearing difficulties, you will need to ensure they get a headset with a "T" setting.

2. Don't go anywhere near Plantronics. They are the biggest load of rubbish I've ever used. Have used their wired and wireless kit and both are totally useless, badly designed and go through batteries piecemeal....

HTH!

:^0 -- my previous headset

by The Scummy One · 12 years ago In reply to No, but.........

was a Plantronics. And although it worked (mostly) I had to reset it often and re-calibrate it with the base unit often. Since I moved to the Netcom, all of my issues went away

Agree on Plantronics

by Maevinn · 12 years ago In reply to No, but.........

I have a CS50 series from them currently. The headset is uncomfortable and the piece that should attach to the phone to lift the receiver doesn't. I don't use it, though, since my phone rings maybe twice a week and I'm usually not at my desk for at least one of those times.

Not my experience with plantronics

by JJFitz · 12 years ago In reply to Agree on Plantronics

I have supported many Plantronics wireless headsets (mostly CS50's) and have not had any significant problems with them aside from replacing the battery every 18 months or so. They have great range, isolation from other plantronics headsets, and excellent sound quality.
I recommend getting the headset lifter (HL10) too so you can answer the phone when you are away from your desk.
We still have some Plantronics headsets in use that are more than 5 years old.
I switched from the CS50 to the Voyager 510S because of its dual use. It works for my desk phone and my cell phone via bluetooth. It automatically switches to cell when I get out of desk phone range and goes back to the desk phone when I return as long as I am not currently in a call. That would be bad design! :)
I just like the convenience of having one device for both phones.
The other nice thing is that some of the equipment is interchangeable. That is, the same headset lifter works for both CS50 and 510S. So I didn't have to buy a different one.
I get them from cdw. Cost ~$250

Thanks luv

don't think anyone has a hearing aid, but will confirm.

would probably buy in lots anyways, get a few key people one first, and then go from there if they work out. (read "key = ME" )

B-)

The problem with that then

by The Scummy One · 12 years ago In reply to Thanks luv

is interference with each other. If you have more than a certain # in a certain area, many problems arise, from disconnecting calls to being heard on anothers call :0

We used to recommend no more than 20 of any brand on the floor.
