Problem: Where can I find Plantronics accessories for my Plantronics headset? I have tried looking for Plantronics accessories in stores and no one seems to carry them. I have also looked on the Plantronics web site for Plantronics accessories but they don’t show the parts that I am interested in.
Solution: We get lots of calls from people who have purchased a Plantronics headset and they need Plantronics accessories, or replacement parts, but the store where they purchased the headset doesn’t carry them. We feel your pain, and at Headsets Direct, we believe it is important to carry Plantronics accessories for every headset we sell. We are a large, stocking distributor and we do our best to keep them in stock for the convenience of our customers.
On our website at www.headsetsdirect.com, we try to make it easy for you to locate the Plantronics accessories or replacement parts you are looking for. The “key” to quick and easy shopping on our web site is to know what Plantronics headset you have. On our home page there is a teal green column on the left side of the page. At the top of the column is a “google custom search box”. Just enter the model number of the headset you have and hit search. A page will open offering several matches to your search. Select the best match; click on it and it will take you to an entire page that is all about your headset. You will find all of the Plantronics accessories and replacement parts for your headset at the bottom of the page. If you aren’t certain which accessory or part you need, you can click onto the part number at the left and (for most parts) there will be a picture of that part available to look at.
However, if you would rather talk to a real person, rather than order off the computer, just give us a call! We have real, live, customer service specialists available Mon-Friday from 7:00 AM to 4:30 PM, and they will be happy to assist you and answer any questions you may have. If we don’t have the Plantronics accessories you are looking for in stock, we can get it from Plantronics for you.

Question: I’m looking for a good wireless Bluetooth headset that is really comfortable, what would you suggest?
Solution: Now-a-days, there are many states and municipalities with laws requiring drivers to wear headsets for their cell phones, so they can have both hands free to drive. The majority of drivers prefer wearing the wireless Bluetooth headsets so they don’t have to deal with a cord hanging from their headset which could easily get caught on things. Plantronics offers an excellent selection of high quality wireless Bluetooth headsets for you to choose from.
The majority of wireless Bluetooth headsets come in one of two styles: the first is worn in the ear, using only an ear bud placed inside the ear, and the second style is worn over the ear using an ear hook along with an ear bud resting inside the ear. If you prefer a light weight, discreet, ear bud type of wireless Bluetooth headset, take a look at the New Plantronics Discovery 975. This unit comes with its’ own sleek rechargeable case which not only displays battery levels and connection status, but it can triple your talk and standby time. The Plantronics Discovery 975 has a classy, modern look, and only weighs 8 grams, but it offers a ton of high tech bells & whistles including: WindSmart technology to block intrusive wind noise, Multipoint technology which allows you to pair one earpiece to two phones (like a Smartphone and a cellphone) and the innovative, dual-mic Audio IQ technology so your callers will hear only your clear natural sounding voice without invasive background noise.
Would you rather have the security of an ear hook over your ear, in addition to the ear bud inside your ear? If that’s the case, then take a look at the Plantronics Voyager Pro because this headset is made of soft, flexible materials that conform to your ear, providing the secure, comfortable fit that you’re seeking. However, comfort is not the only attribute of this little Bluetooth gem. The Voyager Pro wireless Bluetooth headset also comes with a full range of technological advancements such as: Dual-mic Audio Q2 noise cancelling, WindSmart technology to cancel out wind noise, Multipoint technology which allows two phones to be connected to one headset, and a full 6 hours of talk time so you can enjoy it all day long!
If you have any questions regarding our wide selection of wireless Bluetooth headsets, you can contact us at headsetsdirect.com

In the search for a wireless phone headset, you will have various options to choose from. First of all, it would depend on if the wireless phone headset will be used on a corded phone or if the wireless phone headset will be used on a cordless phone, because Plantronics has different wireless phone headset models for different phone applications. If you are using a single line cordless phone for home use, you can use the Plantronics CS55H wireless phone headset. Unlike the regular office wireless phone headset models, the CS55H does not plug directly into the cordless phone base. The CS55H wireless phone headset comes with a splitter that can be plugged into the phone jack at the wall and then you run the one phone line cable to the cordless phone (just like normal) and then run one phone line to the CS55H wireless phone headset base. You can also just plug the CS55H directly into the wall jack without the splitter, if you have another phone jack available. The Plantronics CS55H wireless phone headset is used in conjunction with the cordless phone to make a call, but does not rely on the cordless phone to answer an incoming call, you just press the button on the headset to answer and hang up.
If you are using a corded phone (has a corded handset receiver), it does not matter if it is a single line $20 phone from a retail store or if it is a commercial phone system that has multiple lines like Cisco, Avaya, or Nortel, you can use a wireless phone headset such as the Plantronics CS55, CS70N, CS351N, CS361N, WO100, WO200, WO300 and WO350 models. However there are a couple of phone models such as the AT&T 3 digit model phones and GE phones that do not work as well with headsets, for some reason, these phones can make headsets buzz.
When researching a wireless phone headset, you will also see mention of an optional device called a Handset Lifter, the model is “HL10”. The Plantronics HL10 Handset Lifter is an optional device which is used with a wireless phone headset to answer and hang up calls remotely away from your desk. With the HL10, you just press the “call control button” on the actual wireless phone headset itself to answer and end a call. When you press the call control button on the wireless phone headset, the handset lifter will physically raise the top portion of the handset receiver, allowing the little button to “pop up” and give you dial tone. When you press the call control button again to end a call, the handset lifter will lower the handset receiver, pressing the little button down to hang up the phone. And just remember that if you choose not to get the optional HL10 Handset Lifter to go with your Plantronics wireless phone headset for a corded telephone, you will physically need to lift the handset receiver, set it off to the side, and then hang it up after each call. So when purchasing a wireless phone headset, a handset lifter is definitely a worthwhile accessory to add on. For more information on a Plantronics wireless phone headset or any other Plantronics products, please browse our website or give us a call.
