Do I have to use a Plantronics headset with this?

No, any headset will work as long as it has the phone jack/clip plug. Sorry these aren't technical terms but it won't work with the type of jack that you would put into a phone, it needs to be the type of jack that you would plug into a wall. Any headset that has that type of jack will work. They also make adapters so you can use the type of headphones that you can plug into an iPod or phone.

I do not know. I purchased the head set by Plantronics to forgo any compatibility issues.

The headset is "wireless" in that you wear the receiver on a belt. It comes with the receiver that you lug into an existing sound system. If you do not have a sound system this will not work.

As long as your Plantronics device is Bluetooth compatible I see no reason for this not to work with it. Bluetooth is a communication standard and as long as you device is Bluetooth compatible it should be fine.

this is a loop system for hearing aids. The way it works is a wireless connection from the loop to your hearing aid the other end you would have to plug in to a quarter inch Jack with mic and speakers out from the phone you would not use a headset at all

I have a Plantronics headset with mic and it has worked fine for me; though I have only used it for Go To Meeting calls.

Yes, you will have to have the headset on to answer, there is unfortunately no speaker function. I wish there was.

I use an older Plantronics CS50 headset that plugs into the handset jack on the phone. The handset then plugs into the Plantronics headset. It works great.

No. The base does not have a provision for headset. The handsets do have them. Thanks

Yes, you can use a headset with these, but ONLY a Bluetooth one. These phones do NOT have headset jacks. Note that a Bluetooth headset will link to the base and not to the handset, so range may be limited.

A headset cannot be used. This is just like any other land line phone, but I am using it with a VoIP provider like Vonage. It still uses the standard phone cord, but that cord connects to a small converter that then connects to my internet router.

The phone has a headset jack and the button to switch to headphone use. As long as Plantronics headset has the standard jack it should work. I have not tried a headset with the phone.

Yes, according to the user's guide you can use any industry standard 2.5mm headset. They recommend to use an AT & T 2.5mm headset. There website address is www.telephones.att.com or call 1-800-222-3110. Hope this helps

You will need to get a regular telephone cord attach it to the Plantronics headset and int the telephone outlet in the wall. It has really good volume but not sure if it is good enough for the hard of hearing.

Yes. You have to turn on the headset (slide a little switch) to activate the noise cancellation. Otherwise it can just be a passive headset.

No. I unsuccessfully tried it in my new office with Avaya phone. It's a good think I had kept Plantronics headset.

Yes, you do not have to wear the headset. But the speaker must be pointed toward the audience to be effective.
