Can I plug a hands-free headset to the phones (handsets)?

I don't see a place to plug in a headset, but somewhere I think it said it was blue tooth compatible. Don't bother with that at home so have not investigated that further.

No, you can't. No capabilities at all (something I miss a lot from my last set). The speakerphone isn't bad, but not the same. I've been happy with this set (especially at $90), but I'm already looking at something new. I recommended it when first purchased (2012), but wouldn't now.

If you ordered the phone lifter then you can answer it with your headset. If you don't then you will have to lift the handset.

Depends. If you have an APS-11 ESH adapter cable, and your phone is compatible (note: your phone may need its own (additional) ESH cable to connect to the APS-11), then you can answer from the headset. It's also possible to answer from the headset using a HL10 handset lifter instead of the APS-11/ESH cables, but this method is clunky and often unreliable - I don't recommend it.

No, only the cordless phone. You have to lose the handset if you want that jack to connect a headset

I've never tried to do so. However, there is a cover on the sides of the handsets that has a headset symbol on it, and under the cover there is a jack. I don't know what size the jack is, but it is smaller than the standard jack such as is used to plug a set of earbuds into an iPod or iPhone. There doesn't appear to be such a jack on the base station, only on the handsets.

Yes, you can plug in a headset--the main reason I wanted this unit--that feature is getting hard to find.

Yes it can. It even comes with a belt clip for hands free use with the headset.Some available models bellow:Panasonic KX-TCA60 Hands-Free Headset with Comfort Fit Headband for Use with Cordless PhonesPanasonic KX-TCA400 Over The Head HeadsetPanasonic KX-TCA430 Comfort-Fit, Foldable Headset

The headset piggybacks on the handset cord, so anything that you can do with a handset can be done with the headset. I use multiple lines on my phone with this.

I don't see a headset jack on the handsets at all. The was a time long ago that I would have looked for that but never thought about it when I bought these. I don't think you can pair any type of headset to these phones. The retro handset has no purpose that I can think of, aside from maybe trying to sell it on ebay, if I can remember where I put it.

No, it is a speakerphone. You might could unplug the handset and plug in a headset there.

Hi, I too got the same question since this is an important info missing in the technical details and top reviews.. However when I checked all the reviews here , I saw two customers wrote of having been able to connect headset with this fone. But the most helpful to me was this : "I use a headset for handsfree work but the problem was that could not connect both cell and headset simultaneously. Thus, could only answer cell calls with handset or landline calls with headset. Get most of my calls to cell number so it was a big inconvenience to lose the headset/handsfree."

The headsets get their power from the USB cable, so no you can't listen to music on your phone without it being plugged into a computer.

Both are connected, but not cannot be used simultaneously. At least on my phone there is a button to push if you wish to use the headset. While using the headset the corded headset and speaker phone are inoperative.

From the manual: Headset (optional)Connecting a headset to the handsetallows hands-free phoneconversations. We recommend usingthe Panasonic headset noted on page5.

I don't think the phone comes with handsfree earplugs but I would think it would work with a hands-free headset or blue tooth. Mine is connected to the blue tooth in the car

I own a headset that connects directly to the phone jack, in place of the receiver. If you don't own that kind, you will likely require an adaptor or splicer.

Hi, Sharon ~~ Yes, there's a place to plug in a headset on the lower left-hand side of each handset. However a headset does not come with the phone; you'd have to buy it separately. I'd never even looked at that until now. We don't have a headset so I can't tell you how well that works but in general the phones seem to be good quality so I'm assuming it would work well, too. Hope that helps!
