Headset Information

Although Cisco Systems performs some internal testing of third-party headsets for use with the Cisco Unified IP Phones, Cisco
does not certify or support products from headset or handset vendors. Because of the inherent environmental and hardware
inconsistencies in the locations where Cisco Unified IP Phones are deployed, there is not a single “best” solution that is optimal
for all environments. Cisco recommends that customers test the headsets that work best in their environment before deploying
a large number of units in their network.

In some instances, the mechanics or electronics of various headsets can cause remote parties to hear an echo of their own voice
when they speak to Cisco Unified IP Phone users.

Cisco Systems recommends the use of good quality external devices, like headsets that are screened against unwanted radio
frequency (RF) and audio frequency (AF) signals. Depending on the quality of these devices and their proximity to other devices
such as cell phones and two-way radios, some audio noise may still occur.

The primary reason that a particular headset would be inappropriate for the Cisco Unified IP Phone is the potential for an
audible hum. This hum can be heard by either the remote party or by both the remote party and you, the Cisco Unified IP Phone
user. Some potential humming or buzzing sounds can be caused by a range of outside sources, for example, electric lights, being
near electric motors, large PC monitors.

Audio Quality Subjective to the User

Beyond the physical, mechanical and technical performance, the audio portion of a headset must sound good to you (the user)
and to the party on the far end. Sound is subjective and Cisco cannot guarantee the performance of any headsets, but some of
the headsets on the sites listed below have been reported to perform well on Cisco Unified IP Phones.

Nevertheless, it is ultimately the customer's responsibility to test this equipment in their own environment to determine suitable
performance.
