Plantronics has recently released the new W700 Series models of the "Savi" line of wireless headsets. If you are unfamiliar with the SAVI series; they are NOT your ordinary wireless headset system at all.  Rather than simply hooking up to your desktop office phone, they also hook up to your computer & Bluetooth enabled cell phone (TRIPLE connectivity!).

Replacing the original SAVI models (WO100, WO200, WO300, & WO350) will be the new W740, W730, W710, & W720 respectively.  These new W700 models offer the latest that technology has to offer. Including a new "Modern" design to both the headset itself, as well as the base unit, a MUCH lighter weight, better overall sound quality, conferencing capability (Hook up to 4 headsets to one base unit), & some models even offer a "Hot-Swappable" battery - for around the clock operations (ie. W740
model). There are also several new accessories available that are ONLY offered with the new W700 series.

For Your Phone: Works just like a regular wireless headset. Purchase the optional handset lifter & you'll be able to answer your phone remotely (Right from the headset).

For Your Computer: A USB connection from the base unit allows you to simultaneously plug into your computer as well as being connected to your phone. Select which device you want to connect to simply by pressing a button on the base unit. Great for everything computer audio-related; including Soft-Phone applications, Skype & other chat softwares, as well as music, movies, & games.

For Your Cellphone: The Bluetooth connectivity on these units are from the base itself (Not the headset). So, your cellphone needs to stay within range on the base unit in order to use these headsets on your cell call (You cannot take the headsets out for a car ride).

They're finally here! After much anticipation & a 5 year wait, Plantronics has released the new CS500 Series Wireless Headsets.

Taking over for the older CS55 model, will be the new CS540 version. It still offers the "Convertible" headset option (With 2 wearing styles: Over-the-Ear as well as Over-the-Head). A slightly further roaming range, MUCH lighter in weight, and a new "Modern" design makes the CS540 the new choice for business & casual users alike.

Looking for a more stable Over-the-Head design?  Replacing the older CS351N & CS361N models, will be the CS510 & CS520 respectively.  The CS510 is a Single Ear, Over-the-Head design, while the CS520 is binaural (Dual ear design). These 2 models have a very stable headband, much larger speaker (Great for noisy environments), & a longer range than their predecessors.

Coming out sometime next year (2012) will be the replacement for the long-running CS70N (On-the-Ear) design.  This new model will be called the CS530, and will offer much of the same features that the other CS500 versions carry (ie. longer range, lighter weight, & more modern design).

The best part; All of the new CS500 series headsets are being sold at the same exact price (Or very close to) as the older models - ONLY at Headset-Plus.com!

*PLEASE NOTE: All of the older model Plantronics wireless headsets will be discontinued by the end of this year (ie. CS55, CS351N, CS361N), and followed shortly by the CS70N as well.

Bring Your Office Headset Back to Life

So, you're digging through your office supply cabinet & you see an old headset laying there. Who knows if it's been used or not?  You don't want someone else's cooties do you? Save yourself anywhere from $75-$130 by simply revitalizing that old headset with new replacement parts.

Many people are unaware that you can easily replace those ear cushions, voice tubes, & sometimes even the actual headband itself at a fraction of the cost of a new headset.  With the ear cushions - there are sometimes even a "Leatherette" cushion available (As opposed to a foam cushion), which are also great for situations when multiple users share the same headset (They can be cleaned/wiped off with an alcohol wipe).  It is imperative that you get the right parts, however, since there are several different sized ear-cushions, ear-buds, & voice tubes...& they're all proprietary to certain headset models.

The GN Netcom brand products do not have available replacement voice tubes (Only ear cushions & cables). However, the Plantronics brand has a whole line of products available ranging from wind-screens & ear cushions, to voice tubes, cables & adapters.  Just to reiterate the importance of matching the correct part to the correct headset; each manufacturer in the industry uses "Similar looking parts", but they WILL NOT work with anything other than their respective model headset. Never go off a hunch or the posted photo, since stock images can change or again...even look almost identical to what you need.

If you need to replace a connection cable (For plugging directly into a headset jack on the phone), you'll need one of any number of cables.  This gets a little tricky since there are several different types & models of phones out there.  You can always give a quick call & we'll point you in the right direction!  Please be sure to have your phone's brand name & model number available (It can be VERY important).

And remember...

There's no such thing as a "Regular ol' phone."

Wireless Headset Compatibility

You may be asking yourself, "What type of phone do I need for my wireless headset to work with?"   Well, there's no real quick answer to this...but it's not too complex either.  First let me just say that since there are literally thousands & thousands of phones out there in all different sizes, shapes, functions, & wiring...there just isn't anyway of saying that they will all work with all wireless headset systems.  Although "Most" phones are indeed compatible, there are a few things that you need to be aware of first. 

One of the most common misconceptions, is that a wireless headset system will plug into a telephone's headset jack - FALSE. 

Although there are a couple "Very rare" instances where this will work, 99% of all wireless systems actually plug in to the phone's handset jack (NOT the headset jack).  Your phone's headset jack has a built-in amplifier & is designed primarily for corded headsets.  Since wireless headsets were designed for the primary purpose of being able to remotely answer your phone by pressing the button on your wireless headset itself, they have to go through that handset jack...& in turn, your handset will piggy-back off of the wireless' base unit.

The handset "Lifter": This is an optional accessory that is needed for those same 99.9% of wireless headsets, in order to enable remote answering.  What the lifter does is physically lift your receiver & holds it above the cradle for the duration of your call.  Then once you press the button on your headset again, it lowers the receiver back down & hangs up the call.  Without a handset lifter , you would have to constantly place your handset on the desk before the call, then hang it up after the call - for EACH & EVERY call.  You cannot simply leave your handset off-hook...or your phone will never activate the call (It would be like you are on a never-ending call & possibly even "Time out").

Now, for those 1% of headsets that are unique; certain specific AVAYA, Cisco, & Polycom phones have a built in "Hook switch" that (With a special Hook switch cable) will allow your wireless headset system to interface with the phone itself.  This special hook switch cable takes the place of (But essentially does the same thing as) the handset lifter.  Most hook switch cables are sold separately from the wireless headset system, with the exception of the AWH models from Plantronics (Avaya Wireless Headset).

Remote handset lifters work with all phones - FALSE

Due to the various shape & layout of some phones, using a handset lifter could potentially cause a problem.  Lifters will almost always work with a standard "Square" or "Rectangular" shaped phone. However, some of the more "Curvy" & shapely phones out there might not allow for use of the lifter.  Plantronics makes a special attachment for the lifter only, that works with most Nortel phones with the curved side; this device works on several other phones as well.  One last thing to take into account; the "Tilt" of your phone.  Make sure that your phone has the ability to tilt back around 45 degrees or flatter.  If your phone stands too erect, your handset will merely flop off the cradle & on to your desk (It's funny only at first!).

And as I always say, "When all else fails - call us for compatibility"

Plantronics Backbeat 903 & 906 Bluetooth Stereo Headsets

When Plantronics discontinued it's very popular Pulsar 590 Bluetooth headset...it sent a small ripple across the Bluetooth community...since there wasn't really anything else quite like it on the market.  Well, it's been almost a year in waiting since the loss of the Pulsar 590 for Plantronics to introduce it's new babies; the Backbeat 903 & 906.  This new Bluetooth stereo headset fits conveniently around the "Back" of your head, uses very comfy ear-buds (Instead of the ear pads), & has a built in "Dual" Noise Canceling microphone.  This is FAR superior to it's predecessor which used a telescoping voice tube.

The BackBeat series has Dual-mic AudioIQ noise-canceling technology for exceptional call clarity. The 906 model (Only) includes a 3.5mm adaptor to stream music from older iPod and MP3 devices lacking the Bluetooth A2DP stereo profile. This unit also has a bass-boost feature.

Headsets -vs- Headphones - What's the Difference?

Being in the telephone headset industry, we are often asked for headphones by mistake.  So, what's the difference?  Simply put: Headsets are for telephones & have a microphone on them; Headphones are for audio devices & have speakers only (No microphone).

Most headsets have one of 2 different types of plug ends on them.  They either have a 2.5mm single prong plug (Most commonly found on cordless phones), or an RJ9 modular plug (Used on professional business phones like NEC, Nortel, Cisco, etc.).  The 2.5mm versions (Also referred to residential grade headsets) usually range in price from $20 to $50.  The RJ9 type headsets (Also referred to professional or commercial grade headsets) typically range from about $70 to $140 depending upon the style & features.  The Plantronics brand  comes highly recommended for the best sound quality & durability.  Jabra/GN Netcom comes in a close second.

Audio headphones are in an entirely different realm altogether.  Not including the iPhone which uses a special proprietary plug, there are generally only 2 types of plugs...& you can find adapters for either to fit the other.  They are the 3.5mm (1/8") & the larger 1/4" phono style plugs.  There are literally thousands upon thousands of different audio headsets out there with new ones popping up every minute.  What sets them apart is all a matter sound quality, durability, & wearing style. Since BOSE is in a class of it's own...& nothing really compares to it (Especially in price), we'll leave that out of here.  However, my personal recommendation & something that I frequently use to great satisfaction, is the Sennheiser HD Pro Series (The 212 HD in particular).  Unbelievable sound definition, very comfortable & reasonably priced for Pro grade headphones.

Plantronics Professional VoIP Headset Setup

With many modern companies switching their telephony systems over to VoIP applications (Voice Over Internet Protocol) - or "Computer based phone system", lots of people tend to choose "Computer" headsets by accident instead of a traditional "Telephone" headset.  What's the difference? Why does it matter to me? 

Well, for one...computer headsets are primarily designed for multi-media listening (ie. Movies, Music, & Games, etc.).  They enhance certain features like a "Boomy" bass frequency which is great for games & movies, but definitely not for phone calls!  Telephone style headsets on the other hand, produce a sound & experience closer to an actual telephone call.  They enhance the key frequencies needed to understand what your caller is saying to you (Voice frequencies), & help to prevent the constant, "What?  Was that a C or a D?  Oh, it was T!"

If you already have a professional office headset from Plantronics (With the QD quick disconnect) you may be able to use a DA-Series USB adapter cable to make the switch even easier.  The Plantronics professional office headsets (H-series) will all work with the DA-Series USB adapter cables.  So, if you're starting from scratch...click HERE & choose from one of almost 30 different headsets.  Then click HERE & check out the different DA-Series USB cables to see which one suits your needs. 

So make the right choice - are you playing games, or are you making business calls?
