Does this cable allow you to use a Plantronics headset such as a HW261N on a desk phone without getting the M22 amplifier.. enough volume?

I'm not sure. I use this with a cordless phone. I wouldn't think it would be any different on a land line type phone. When I researched further on different sites, it did say amplifier was required. Now I'm just going to deal because I'm not carrying an amp around my house. Haha. I would recommend getting the amp because unless it's pretty quiet where you are, you will have a bit of a hard time hearing the other person. I have volume turned all the way up on my phone and if the tv is on, I have to leave the room. But it's a super comfy headphone and it is wider than others.

I use it with the hw216n headset paired with the plantronics ct-14 phone, works great.

Bonnie, that will depend on the hardware available with your corded desk phone. This headset requires a headphone "jack". Most desksets utilize a variation of the standard 4-wire handset cord to connect the phone base unit to a headset base unit, into which both the headset and handset are then plugged. This will not work for that arrangement. The jack is either 2.5mm or 3.5mm (I don't have it here with me at work) and so requires that type of receiver socket in the phone. I use this on my wireless phone at home, but I discovered that the jack is too small to work with my cell phone. Hope this helps.

Just bought this specifically because of the answers provided here. Using my plantronics headset and my Galaxy S4, this doesn't work.

I bought this cord because I have headsets with no volume control and it was my solution. Good luck!

There is an audio (analog) out socket, but not specially for headsets. I think the other answers give more information than I have.

All I can tell you that I have used a 2.5 mm adapter with another brand (Plantronics) and it works ok with my cordless phone. I use the Sennheiser for high quality Audio. For low quality phone audio,any cheap Headset should work.

We have plugged our Plantronics Headset (marked as T10 inside the boom) into a our Mitel 5212/5235 VoIP desktop phones. You have to program the phones to accept a "Headset" button, though. Talk to your Mitel Server Specialist about that. From experience, it's not hard to do once you know where to look and what to do.The quality is much better, in this configuration, than the Panasonic (KX-TCA400) headsets we just bought. Conversations are clear on both ends, and there is no discernible background hiss/rumble.

This headset does not plug directly into an office phone. It needs the proper adapter and possibly an amplifier.

No, the S12 is designed to be used with the specific headset it comes with. The HW261N does work with the Plantronics M12 or M22 which connect Plantronics headsets to just about any modular single or multi-line phone.

Yes, but you won't be able to control the volume from your headset. It worked for me for 2 days, then stopped. Cheap product.

You will need to use a headset amplifier, there is no direct headset plug. I am using this phone with a Plantronics Vista M22.

This headset is made for use with a standard amplifier. Now I'm not familiar with this particular broadband phone setup, but if this model has the ability to plug in a headset, then it would be reasonable to assume you could use this without the need for an amplifier. If it does not, you would also need an amplifier, to which, I would assume this phone would also have a headset like a traditional land line phone. With this, you would just re-wire to have the amplifier and headset in addition to the phone's handset. Hope this helped.

It's just a 3.5mm (1/8th inch) jack on either side, so as long as you can get audio into it then the source doesn't matter. I have not tried to use something like a microphone headset with it, but I don't imagine that would pass the signals through, and you would need a 4-connector cable on the other end, which I've never seen.It has its own volume controls (which is why I got it, to use with a console's line out) so even if the volume control on your headphones don't work, you can adjust the volume on the amp itself.

Yes, it works quite well. I use it with the Plantronics .Audio 326 Stereo PC Headset since Macs do not have a mic in.

This cable allows certain phones to output their stereo audio via their micro-USB port to a standard 3.5mm headset jack. If your speakers or amplifier are compatible with a 3.5mm headset/headphone jack, they should work fine.

I did not use it for that, although on Skype I was coming through loud and clear so probably...be warned, my volume/mute feature on the headset was delivered in a "not working" condition (no apparent shipping damage) and I ended up returning this unit.
