Simply Headsets FAQ

In most cases, a wireless headset will work with any office phone. You just need to consider what you want your headset to do, and what wearing style you prefer (see question 4 for more information on this).

If you simply want a wireless headset to use while working at your desk (non-remote answerable), all you will need is the wireless headset.

If you would like a solution that lets you answer and end phone calls from the headset itself while you are away from your desk (remote answerable), you will need either a handset lifter or an electronic hook switch (generally not included with the headset). This is the most common and most effective way to use your wireless headset. Check out the most popular wireless headsets.

Corded headsets work with most desk phones, either through the use of an adaptor cable or an amplifier (not included with the headset). Please note though, some phone handsets will not work with a corded headset. Therefore it’s often best to go with the wireless option. Why not take a look at our most popular corded headsets.

We will need to do some compatibility checks on your phone handset to see which is the most effective method of connection, so please make sure you have the make and model of your handset (eg. Avaya 5410, LG Aria LDP7024D) available for our Headset Expert. This information is normally found on the base of your handset or in your handset manual.

The most common type of headset for most mobile phones is Bluetooth. These headsets connect wirelessly through the Bluetooth software installed in most modern mobile phones. Some are even able to connect to your mobile, PC and desk phone (ask our Headset Expert to tell you more about this). Check out our most recommended mobile phone headsets.

Wearing style for many people is a personal choice, but here are some pros and cons to help decide which is best for you.

Over the head: Over the head is a very comfortable and secure wearing style. Many people who use headsets for extended periods of time choose this wearing style. Staff who are going to be away from their desk or moving around a lot (often receptionists) also favour this wearing style because of its security. The most popular headsets in this style are the Plantronics WO300, Plantronics CS351N and GN Netcom 9120 headsets.

In ear: Over the ear is a much more discreet (and often more modern) looking design, but there are some drawbacks. This style is sometimes less secure than an over the head design, and we have found that many people who wear glasses find that this style actually pushes their glasses out of alignment. The most popular headsets in this style are the Plantronics WO200 and Plantronics CS70.

Over the ear: Similar to the in ear style, but with a hook that goes over the ear for added wearer security.

If you’re still not sure which wearing style is for you, don’t worry! We have many headsets available which can be worn in both over the ear and over the head styles. This means that you can wear the headset in whichever style suits you best from hour to hour.
