Does this product have beep/ring sounds coming through the headset when receiving incoming calls? Or is that only wireless headsets?

Yes, but I don't know if this is the headset or it's something on the line.

No beeping or ringing sound comes through the headset, only through the phone itself.

I'm not sure how that is with this headset. But I know what you're talking about - because I hear folks doing that on conference calls sometimes. I generally mute my phone when I'm not speaking on a call for that purpose (and because my dog randomly barks at things). I'll have to ask someone if they hear the stalker breath or not... good question.

No there is, you press on the "lower volume" button on the headset for 2 seconds until it beeps = mute, 2 more seconds = unmuted. It's written there in black and white on the manual!

It does when I get a text. Not a phone call though. Calls are strictly vibrate. But texts are voice and you can respond with just your voice or choose ignore right now.

My set of P253's will reset their connection with the phone every 10 minutes or so. It gives two short beeps as it does so and I can be distracting. It never does this while the headset is in use for music or phone, only when idle. It's possible that the P311 doesn't have this "bug". I thought it was just my phone, but I have a couple of friends with them as well and it beeps for them too.

Just an FYI - Another responder mentioned the bells beneath the base, but those bells are for decoration and ring only when you use the crank on the side - it has nothing to do with the actual ring when someone calls. When someone calls, the ringer sounds like any other corded phone. It is not antique sounding.

Yes, the headphones have a nice ring when there is a phone call. the phone also rings, but there is an extra, different ring in the headphones

Thank you very, very much for all the help. The annoying chime is history, thanks to you. I'm sorry to have taken so long to get back to you, but I will explore the wireless headset option. I already have 2 types of headsets, but no wireless.

I have not had any problem with that. I have used it extensively while walking through the house and doing projects in the garage. I've asked the people that I've spoken with if they hear any interference because of the headset and they say that I have been crystal-clear. I'm actually going to buy a second one for the garage handset

Hi, no it doesn't, it only beeps once in my ear when I mute hit the mute button. The person I'm speaking with cannot hear the beep. My biggest complaint with this headset is when I am using the headset and place my call on mute (via the button on the headset) there is no way to tell it's muted. No light flashes, or the base does not show mute either so, sometimes I don't know if I'm muted or not. Cheers.

I don't really know. I don't wear the headset unless I make or receive a call.

No....the voice prompts are basic pre-recorded prompts..."Headset connected, power is high....what would you like to do....." Confirmations are usually with a ping or a beep. Good reception and sound.

I have only had 3 or 4 calls wih the headset so far and have not had any complaints about the mic quality but i hav not heard it from the other end so im not sure.

Guess it is noise cancelling, according to other users. I use the headset at least once, sometimes several times a day, to interview people, talk to friends hands-free, etc. Plantronics has been an industry leader for decades and occasionally puts out a product I've not liked for some minor flaw, but generally this company is the best.

No, all phones ring during incoming calls, but each phone has independent ring volume adjustment.

Yes when you get a call, it ring through the unit. And it does mute the audio. The sound is very clear too.
