Headsets Direct developed a product several years ago that allows you to use your Plantronics wireless headsets for training purposes. This little device, part number 03929-63, will work on just about any office phone that your Plantronics wireless headset works on. It’s really very simple to set up and use. It allows you to choose which headset you would like live and which headset you would like muted. With two Plantronics wireless headsets each person could be sitting at their own desk while on the same call, just keep in mind the headsets need to be within range of both bases and the two bases will be on one desk connected to one phone. You could also leave both headsets live (maybe for a mini conference call).
HDI’s wireless training adapter can be used on a wide range of Plantronics wireless and corded products. Note: I’m not sure if other brands of headsets will work with this wireless training adapter, as Plantronics is the only brand we sell. In most scenarios the training adapter plugs into the HANDset Jack on your phone.
Here are a few examples of Plantronics products that can be used on the wireless training adapter:
1. Wireless headsets; two are needed.
2. Some of Plantronics corded products without a quick disconnect: Like the S11 and S12 units; in the past there was not a way to train on either of these units with two headsets in use. (There are a couple different ways to set up the training adapter when using the S11 and S12 units.)
3. Use one wireless headset and your telephone’s HANDset receiver.
4. Use one wireless headset and one vista amplifier with headset.
Note: If using one vista amplifier and two H-series headsets, it is best to go with the Plantronics
Y-Training adapter.
If you have any questions about the Headsets Directs training adapter please give us a call, any of our sales team will be more than happy to help you — 800-914-7996.

Are you looking for an inexpensive way to use one headset with your computer and your office phone without needing two different headsets on your desk? Take a look at Plantronics MX10 multimedia amplifier. This amplifier will work on your single or multi-line office telephones and computers. It delivers excellent audio quality for Skype, Windows Live or Yahoo Messenger Internet calling and is compatible with popular PC sound cards. The SoundGuard Plus sound compression protects you from harsh noises, like fax tones. On the computer side you can listen to music, record a call, use it for voice recognition, and sound recording.
Headsets Direct offers a large selection of Plantronics H-Top Headsets that are compatible with this amplifier.
It’s just a push of a button to switch back and forth between your computer and your office phone. You can choose to use the handset or the headset. For use on office phone: Just keep in mind, to answer or place a call on your office phone when using the headset you will need to lift the phone’s handset off the cradle and place it on your desk, then place the handset back in the phone’s cradle when you are finished with your call. Also note: The Switcher amplifier is not designed to work on telephones that have the dial pad in the handset or on cordless telephones.
The MX10 multimedia amplifier comes with some great features; like a mute button for when you need a moment, volume control for you to be able to hear your caller loud and clear, and volume control for your microphone, which increases/decreases the sound of your voice. You can also use the MX10 amplifier for training purpose if using a Plantronics Y-Training adapter (p/n: 27019-03). You can make adjustments on the MX10’s default settings to make sure it’s compatible with your phone.

Plantronics has announced a new design for the legendary CS family of wireless headsets. The new CS500 units have a sleek new look and improved performance with the same great reliability as the older CS series headsets. Plus Plantronics has added brand new features that make them more intelligent than ever. The new CS500 family will have a longer distance in range, better clarity for a more natural sounding voice and ease of subscribing a new headset to base. Check out some of the new or improved upon features listed for the new Plantronics CS500 wireless headsets. I think you will like what you see.
- The CS540 (will be replacing the CS55) is the lightest wireless headset on the market today.
- Roaming Distance is now up to 350 feet.
- Choose between Narrowband Mode to preserve talk time or Wideband Mode for clearer conversations.
- You can now conference in up to 3 additional headsets.
- Subscribe new headsets to base by simply docking the headset.
- DSP: Digital Signal Processing*provides more natural sounding voice.
- Dect 6.0: New voice-dedicated DECT technology eliminates Wi-Fi interference from other networks.
- Adaptive power system optimizes for range and talk time.
- Advanced wideband audio using CAT-Iq technology enables clearer conversations.
- Update: EHS (Electronics Hook Switch) adapters for the older CS-series models are not compatible (as previously thought) to the new CS500 series but the EHS adapters for the Savi series are compatible with the new CS500 units.
