asterisk users - Oct 2006 - Looking for Wireless Heaset for Polycom 501

Hi

I am looking for a good wirless headset to use with the Polycom Soundpoint 501
phone. I would greatly appreciate hearing from anyone with good experiences
with a specific device.

Thanks

I've used the Plantronics ones, similar to these:
http://www.plantronics.com/north_america/en_US/products/cat29880043/cat29880058/prod5510016and
they work very well with the headset lifter, The range is pretty good
too.

However there are more elegant and complete solutions, with those headsets
you need to be by the phone to see who is calling and to use the keypad.

We've used the Plantronics CS50 wireless Headset with the HL10 Handset
Lifter.  About $240.

The handset lifter leaves a lot to be desired with the 501.
It lifts the handset off the cradle, but doesn't completely hang it up
properly.  We've had to place items under the phone to tilt it back.

Other than that, the headset is great.
