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."

Actually if you use a Blue Tooth convergence phone like the AT&T; EP5632 you can have 2 devices paired to it. One of those devices can be your BT headset. You can then answer both your land-line and cellular calls through the BT headset.

You can't have two phones paired to the same bluetooth headset in the same room. Simple solution is to get another bluetooth headset so that your ATT phone and Cell phone can each pair with a headset.

My Bluetooth headset works with my mobile phone linked to base. I would assume you could use a Bluetooth headset linked to base directly as there is provision for that but I do not know if there is more than one Bluetooth channel for headset on the base. I only have one Bluetooth headset.

As far as I know, it can't be plugged directly into a landline phone. If the phone signal is being fed into an audio amplifier that has a microphone & headset JACKS, then you can plug the unit in those jacks. I use it with my desktop PC, equipped with a mike & headset ports. Try contacting Sennheiser Technical Support for advice.

Not only does this headset support voice dialing (assuming that your phone does also) but it will last-number redial too. The instructions in the manual are vague, but if you hold the control on the earpiece for just 2 seconds, it will connect. The headset control requires a firm press to activate its features and if you hold it too long, it may simply turn off. I'd prefer a confirmation beep or two so I know for sure what it's doing.

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.

Hello, Re calling out- that is done from your mobile phone or computer. I suppose if you had voice recognition on your cell/computer, you could call out but I think you'd still have to touch your phone. There is no keypad on this headset.Re incoming calls- push the silver button on side of headaet or use your phone to answer.Instructions so good I didn't need to use them. :)

Dear Joe, Many thanks for your kind inquiry. In fact, the bluetooth headset can be used for any bluetooth we're familiar with, such as bluetooth smartphones, PC and other devices. Thanks a billion. Please feel free to let us know if you've any fuether questions.

it is a landline that comes with the headset....it is just different in that you use the headset to place or receive a call.

Yes, it connects like any bluetooth device, using the Bluetooth menu on your phone. The instructions will tell you how, but you probably will figure it out just by going to that menu on your phone. There are also online support sites. You pair it to the phone, then it will connect automatically when you turn it on. It's easy! This is a very good bluetooth headset, in my opinion...and the price makes it even better. Best wishes!

In most models, there is an additional phone jack in the back of the phone for the headset plug. It should NOT replace the handset. It's in addition to it. So, once you plug the headset into the back of the phone, there will be a button on your phone's keyboard that looks like a headset. When you press that, it will enable the use of the "headset". To disconnect the call, just press the "headset" button again. You can switch back and forth between the headset use, speaker phone, and the handset. You'll get used to it very quickly.

Yes, you need the phone with you and within a certain range of the Bluetooth device. I don't see in the directions where it says you need to answer the call on your phone. The purpose of a Bluetooth is so you don't have to do that! You click on the headset to answer the phone. Read the directions again carefully. It says "to answer a call press and release the [Call] button or press the answer key on your mobile phone. It says "OR".

If you have optional handset lifter all you do is press answer button on headset. Just got it yesterday. .works like a charm. If no handset lifter option then you must lift handset...did that for couple weeks.

I have not had any direct experience but I would assume it is similar to pairing with a bluetooth mobile phone. I would read your owner manual for the landline phone to see what it says about pairing with a bluetooth device. Between the two instructions (phone and speaker), you should be able to get them together.

Yes. The voice dialing works the same with the headset. In fact you can tell it to dial numbers as well as names, i.e. "Dial 3-2-1-5-5-5-4-6-3-2". The only problem I've encountered is with voicemail as I haven't figured out how to get it to dial my pass code once I'm in the voicemail system.

You can, but it requires an audio cable. These headsets are not bluetooth compatible. I believe that it came with a short audio cable. Long enough cable to keep my phone in my pocket to listen to music. It is usually frowned upon in industrial settings to listen to audio (OSHA regulations), and the cord is a dead giveaway.
