Cisco does not certify or support products from 3rd party headset vendors. While
Cisco does perform some basic testing of third-party headsets for use with the
Cisco Unified IP Phones, it is ultimately the customer's responsibility to test this
equipment in their own environment to determine suitable performance. Due to
the many inconsistencies in locations where Cisco Unified IP Phones are
deployed, there is not a single "best," optimal headset solution for all customers.
Since sound is subjective, Cisco cannot guarantee the performance of any
headsets, but some of the headsets on the websites listed below have been reported
to perform well on Cisco Unified IP Phones:

Configuration window for the phone, check the
Disable Speakerphone and
Headset
check box.
