asterisk users - Jan 2007 - OT: High Quality Wireless Headset for Cisco IPPhones and *

Tom - here are a few suggestions

Plantronics 510SL Bluetooth - they make a bundle that comes with a
Bluetooth transceiver and a handset lifter.  This is nice if you have
users that already have Bluetooth headsets for their mobile phones, as
it allows you to sync with their office phone as well.

GN Netcom - GN 9350 - also uses DECT and supports wideband audio

Has anyone found a high quality wireless headset that works well with
Cisco 7960 IP phones on an asterisk system?

I tried the vxxi offering but the sound quality was pretty bad.

Since these are pricey, I don't want to sample blindly.

Experience appreciated.

Thanks,

Tom

We use this on Snom 360's in CAP positions and they work well although the
lifter is a bit of a Rube Goldberg contraption. However, the receptionists
are extremely happy with it, she can walk around almost the entire building
with it and answer calls. One issue we found out if you have a demanding
user then ergonomics come into play. One particular receptionist rejected no
less than a half dozen headset solutions for ergonomic reasons. Two that
stick out were (I kid you not):

1. Over-the-head headset would not be acceptable because it would mess up
her hair. She has really big hair. 
2. Most in-ear Bluetooth headsets she rejected because the answer button in
her opinion was too small and she kept missing it. The reason? Her inch-long
fingernails. Brutal. 

Another one she rejected was because the ear insert hurt her ear. The insert
would press against the inside of her hear and irritate the multiple, chunky
earrings she insisted on wearing.
