HW291N EncorePro Headset

When I use this headset I can relax, it is easy on the ear with the leatherette earpad.  This headset comes with a noise-cancelling microphone that has an adjustable and extendable boom for exact positioning.  The HW291N Headset lets you hear conversation around you so you know what is going on, but at the same time the noise-cancelling microphone will eliminate the background noise so that your client doesn’t hear.  This headset features a quick disconnect and can be used with either a cable that is compatible with your phone, or an M22 amplifier. This headset supports AudioIQ and Clearline audio technologies.   You have the assurance that this headset will give you precise listening level, sophisticated hearing protection and superior audio performance.  This headset offers great balance, fit and comfort, and can be worn on either the right or left ear.

When you pair this up with an M22 or AP15 amplifier, the HW291N EncorePro Headset will give a better performance.  You have more options for microphone, hearing, and phone compatibility.  This headset is used in call centers across America based on the phone type and model; you can use either a cable or amplifier.

Plantronics Compatibility Guide

With this information you can determine which cord or amplifier works best with your phone.  This headset can easily be used with a quick disconnect and USB cord for those who have soft phone or computer calling.

With the wideband audio provided in the headset, this will extend the frequency radio range of audio signals transmitted over telephone lines, resulting in better quality speech. Traditional or narrowband telephone calls limit audio frequencies to the range between 300 Hz to 3.4 kHz.  Wideband audio increases the bandwidth limitation and transmits in the audio range to 50 Hz to 7 kHz or higher.

OK, now you have the headset and your cable or amplifier, you are ready to talk. No more shoulder and neck pain from squishing them together to hold the phone in place.  You really are hands free with this headset. Free to be able to type, rummage through files, write notes, all while on the headset with your client.

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.

The Plantronics HIC Adapter Cable was developed by Plantronics specifically for Avaya/Lucent phones.  It has the Plantronics trademark QD (quick disconnect) on the end of the cable, which allows you to quickly disconnect while leaving your headset on to move away from your desk. On the other end is the phone-type plug that works with most Avaya/Lucent phones. For a compatibility reference you can use this link:  Plantronics Compatibility Guide.  Simply follow the directions, and the phone and model number will give you the correct information you need.

Just when you think you have it figured out, you probably do.  This cable from Plantronics is designed to fit almost all Cisco phones.  If you’ve checked on the model number of your phone and picked out your corded headset, then the cable you will most likely need is the Cisco Direct Cable part number 26716-01.  Cisco phones are used in many call centers across America.  Most often the work force is people like you and me. We are not bound by switchboards and holding a phone between our shoulder and neck.  By using a headset such as a HW261N corded with a quick disconnect (this is a trade mark of Plantronics) and add the Cisco Direct cable 26716-01, you now are set to open the center.
