Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Plantronics CS50 Wireless Office Headset
Customer Review: Unreliable - voice unit keeps breaking
Summary: 1 Stars
My company supplies these cordless headsets to its employees so I have alot of experience using headsets. This is the latest upgrade and it is the worst unit I have ever used. It works great for about 3 or 4 months on average. After that, the voice unit stops working. I can hear others speaking to me but no one can hear me. I have gone through 4 of these units in 13 months and the longest lived unit lasted < 5 months. One broke after < 2 months. Other colleagues have complained about the same thing happening with their units. After the experiences I have had with this piece of junk, I would never buy anything from Plantronics with my own money. Avoid this rubbish.Customer Review: Not for a home office
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm in the middle with dealing with what seems to be a common problem with the CS50 - compatability. I had this same headset in my office connected to a Cisco phone and worked great. I bought one recently for my home office and it's not compatable with my 2 line ATT phone. I looked into buying another phone but can't find a home office phone that is compatable with it. The more I think about it, I'm wondering if it's worth the $200-300 while my $79 phone is working just fine. Beware, you may have to buy an expensive phone for this model to work. I may try upgrading my phone and going with the CS55, which looks like has more phone options.Customer Review: Great product but no remote answering capability as described.
Summary: 3 Stars
In the product description they clearly state "While away from the main station, it only takes one button to answer or end a call." What they don't tell you is that you will need to purchase a handset lifter that costs $52.59 to be able to answer the call with one button while away from the main station. I was careful to purchase a headset with this remote answering capability and read the description very carefully to make sure that the headset I was buyin had this feature! They need to change the desciption.
BTW, I love the headset but would have purchased same brand with with remote lifter in box.
Customer Review: Plantronics CS50 900 MHz Wireless Office Headset System
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very nice nice headset. We are using it with Cisco 7960 ip telephones. If you want to be able to answer and end calls from the headset, you will need the handset lifter along with the headset. The battery life is pretty close to what is advertised and the range is about 200ft inside a concrete and steel building. I would recommend it to anyone who has a large call volume and reception staff with other things to do besides sitting at their desks. Productivity at our reception area has increased because of this purchase, which offsets the high cost for me.Customer Review: Wireless Headset
Summary: 2 Stars
I enjoy the freedom that a wireless headset provides. For years I used a wired headset and I can't say how many times I dragged the base unit off the desk by reaching for something nearby. However, it's difficult to find a comfortable head position with this headset and the earphone doesn't easily settle into place on my head. Also, there's an echo of some kind of my voice if I turn up the volume loud enough to comfortably hear the person I'm speaking with. I'm always trying to make adjustments both to position and volume with this set but haven't found the ideal yet.
