Intertel 8560 Wireless Headsets
-
Looking for a a decently priced wireless headset that is compatible with these phones. Jabra has a few headsets that aren't horribly priced, but I'm not very familiar with any of the these and would like some feed back. Here's a list of headsets that I've done a brief search for, looking in the ≥$100 if possible.
A few key things, we want the headsets to as minimal in appearance as possible.
Several phones will be in close proximity to each other as well.

I'll look at your list, but wanted to state that the Jabra Pro I have connected to the Yealink TP20 has been great. I did add the GN1000 handset lifter as well.
-
I have used and setup some Jabra and GN1000 headset lifter in the past with these phones. I have also used some of the higher end Plantronics wireless ones which are just great, but cost like $400 each.
WIth these type of phones you need the lifter to get them to work properly if you arent at your desk, which adds some bulk and cost. -
I had a plantronics wireless headset for use with my Mitel (Inter Tel is dead) 8660 phone that the headset also supported BT for use with your cell phone - it never worked well.
-
We have a couple of Jabras (Pro 9450 mono) here that have been great. Excellent sound quality and battery life, but well over $100. I would recommend them as a brand though, nice kit.

@momurda Thanks for the comments.
As for the headset, we're looking for something small, and not super obvious. Think Steve Jobs on stage.
-
As far as tiny ones go, check out VXI. We have one of their Reveal Pros, it's tiny and the user likes it.
-
@RojoLoco this one looks pretty good, is small, and the price is reasonable.
These support the Intertel 8520/8560 phones, correct?

When I did the beta test, they asked me what phone it was for and included the proper adapter cable, so they probably have something that would make it work.

@DustinB3403
Ah i though you meant bulk as in adding bulk to the phone and the separate holder for the headset, not the actual headset. -

Of course I completely miss the compatibility guide....
The V200 is in fact compatible.

huh, you're phone are as old as mine. I don't think they make this phone anymore.
-
@momurda I'm not sure I follow you on this.
We have people who will be on screen, and want something slick looking. Rather than the classic corded over the hear headset.
The "Steve Jobs" reference was because you barely notice the mic in front of his mouth. Something like this if at all possible (while still allowing our person to hear the call)
-
@Dashrender That's not the issue, we have the phones (in surplus)

Oh I know - I was just making an off handed comment.
I'm sure any headset that works with that old model will also work with the new models as well.

I did this beta also. The unit is small and works well but the audio sucks. It is horribly tinny IMO.
Want to buy my unit?

I haven't used the VXi unit myself. Our project manager was using it until he left, now it's a spare. He never complained about the audio though, and he had been using a similar Plantronics before.

I use the Plantronic CS520? I think? love it.
I did just test a new VXi device and the sound quality was great.

Why would I want to purchase a unit that you yourself said sounds awful?

Because your users apparently did not think it sounds bad.
