USB headset From Plantronics will work fine.

In addition to the above headset working fine (Model DSP-100) you can adjust the mic volume, unlike the headset packaged with the full Nortel i2050 kit. Every installation using the full kit had very low mic volume.

The only thing I've found the (Nortel issue) headset good for is unplugging the headset itself from the DSP module and using it as a straight 3904 headset. In that respect it's way cool.

or you might want to try a Clarysis Handset. It looks just like a phone that you plug a regular 2.5mm jack headset into. It is pretty cool. You can also use it as a speaker phone.

I agree with all here. The Headset shipped with the i2050 is not very good - Expensive though. Nortel could have gotten a better supplier for that.

I personaly use blue tooth adapter plus jabra headset connected to that. I was surprised about the quality of this "wireless" solution. Big advantage I use this jabra headset for my mobile as well.

I wondered if blue tooth would work. If you have 50 ppl sitting in a row there shouldn't be a problem - it should bind to its adapter...right??????

 

[SL1User]

Thats correct.

Every blue tooth connection is secure due to the fact that you have to follow a log on procedure + you have to enter a pin in the first time you connect. Every blue tooth had set has its own ID.

I use the GN Netcom 6210 over-the-ear Bluetooth Headset. It's completely "wireless", sits in a changing cradle next to my telephone. It comes with an additional charge cable that I keep at home when I switch to my cell. Not "cheap", but very liberating. I'd be lost if I had to go back to a corded headset.

what audio settings are you using for the bluetooth adapters.
thx

The unit comes with instructions on how to pair the headset with the base in four languages. No special switch settings are necessary. GN Netcom's website has all of the support information:

I hope I never have to go back to a wired headset.
