That is also what I use it for. It is great. No background noise. Better the the company issued stuff.

I just ordered this headset and the mute button does not sync with Lync. Has anyone else had this problem?

I'm sorry - I can't answer that; i am using this headset in conjunction with Lync as my desk phone and so the answering is through my computer directly and not through a secondary telephone. I used to have a different wireless headset that would work with the handset lifter...but I can't seem to track that version down. Good luck...sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I got it to work for Skype, so I know that it will link up with Bluetooth that has mics built in, so I assume it will. I no longer have this devices, broke in couple months, but I have a similar device and I will check it out with the Microsoft voice recognition, and let you know.I have tested windows 7 speech recognition software with LG Tone HBS700 and got it to work. To get it to work you need to set it to default.

I'm having the same problem. I contacted the company and they said the headset isn't designed for Windows, and that you may not be able to get it to work even with the correct drivers. Annoying!!

I see no problem with it working. If the equipment as USB ports and sound card, it should work. Headset should be stereo, with microphone. I have used it with ear bud style stereo headset/microphone that I got for my smartphone. I use it as a back up for my PC

Yes, I am using them with Windows 8 and Lync 2013 now. They were immediately recognized and appropriate drivers were loaded when I plugged them into the USB port the first time. In addition, they are comfortable and quiet, with good call clarity both speaking and listening. They also work well for listening to music . . . I am very satisfied.

Yes, this headset will work with any VOIP program such as Skype, ventrilo, mumble, etc.

Yes, it has a travel charger and USB bluetooth adapter for your PC, if wanted. Not sure about MS Lync, but I would think so if it can connect via Bluetooth.

It will work: it's the exact same plug the wired headsets use. I had a bodyglove headset made for phones; it worked with Xbox at a good volume and all that, but the bodyglove really made my ears sore (too tight clamping my outer ear). I fell back on the simple platronics gaming headset most like the original Microsoft 360 one, which is louder than the MS manufacture headset and has lasted me like 5 years! I also use it on my cellphone in a pinch, or if I'm talking to my girlfriend (cuz we talk for a long time). Platronics makes a 360 version of this headset called the gamecom x30, but from what I can tell its the exact same headphone with Xbox 360 white, gray, and green accent colors that happens to sell for $30. I only just found this tan one and have put it on my shortlist.

This headset is working wirelessly through the USB device. So the answer to your question then is no.

Sorry no idea, I need the mouth piece which did not work for me. Call manufacturer, if you try and it does not work send back, is what I did. I use a Logitech usb headset, works fine.

Yes, it will answer a Lync call automatically when you pick it up off the charger. You can answer, hangup, and mute a Lync call all from the headset. I use this everyday for may job, working from a home office and it is the best headset I have had.

I did not get it to work for me.. my headset at the time were razer krakens, wgich need power, and that may have been the issue. Im sorry but thats all I can tell you..

Yes, this headset does work with Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 10. In fact I'm dictating this response using this headset and Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 10. You must buy the Plantronics Bluetooth enabled dongle and plug it into a USB port in order for it to work properly with your "Bluetooth enabled" laptop. I originally made the mistake of buying just the headset and not the Bluetooth dongle. The dongle is specifically adapted to work with the headset. (The bluetooth radio that came with your computer is not specifically designed to work with this headset) As far streaming music, I do not know the answer to that.

Not really, I am disappointed of this headset, I got the pro UC to be able to use it with Microsoft UC and Lync, and also with my cel phone, which it doesn't work with my Nokia Lumia 820. The volume is poor. I have seen some jabra headsets for less than 40 tha work better.

Hi Rick. Great question! While I am not familiar with MS Lync, I can say for the record that the Logitech drivers had to be installed for even apps such as OoVoo, TinyChat, etc. to recognize the camera (Linux OS). On Microsoft platform (Vista OS) once the Logitech drivers were installed before the video chat software were installed I had no issue with all software recognizing the camera automatically. So, in a nutshell, depends on the OS you're working with. As a safeguard, install the drivers anyway - newer conferencing platforms like MS Lync might not have the C270 in their own database of compatible hardware so check if there's a feature to import the drivers into Lync's software. Shouldn't be as arduous as I've described, but the aforementioned outlines the worst case scenarios IMHO.
