Solution for Open Workspaces
For years, I sat in a private office and used a speakerphone for most of my meetings. Everything changed drastically when my team and I moved into an open workspace. The new work environment presented a new set of challenges. There was noise coming in from all directions.
When I spoke with our customers, I realized you too have been struggling with this shift. So, I knew we needed to help.
We sell millions of IP phones every year. We know that many of these IP phones go into open workspaces. And we want to deliver the best collaboration experience for these noisy work environments. This is why we created the Cisco Headset 500 Series.
Amplifying sound quality
We are excited to announce a new professional range of headsets for Cisco IP phones and soft clients. Cisco meticulously designed the headsets to help you stay focused in noisy environments. They are ideal for people who work side by side in contact centers and open spaces.
“What sets these headsets apart in the market is the quality of the audio experience given the lightweight design. These reliable headsets offer superior audio quality, noise-isolation technology, and lightweight comfort. ”
–Richard Bayes, Liberty Technology, beta tester
Now you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your headset is compatible with Cisco IP phones and soft clients.
Promoting collaboration
When you connect your Headset 500 Series to your Cisco IP phone, the phone automatically detects the headset. Match the Cisco Headset 500 Series with your Cisco IP Phone 8800 Series and the interface guides you through a simple set-up process.

Hi,
When will wireless be available
Regards
Wireless will be available mid year!
Those are nice looking headsets……take my money!
Cool! need lil more diversity in the ad tho. @_@
Hopefully tested with each new Jabber Version, Windows etc. service pack and driver compatibility also after coming from standby mode to active again….
They are tested to be compatible with Jabber and phones – if you look at the data sheet they call out compatible versions. That's obviously not for the part that it is a headset as much as it is the USB driver, call control, and presence indication.
Sounds like a pretty cool option for open workspaces.
It would be nice if these were offered in a Bluetooth option to integrate with the 8845-8865 models.
Hi Jeff, wireless headsets will be available mid year. Stay tuned for more info coming soon!
Seems like a tough haul to compete against established headset partners such as Jabra, Plantronics, Sennheiser, etc. What advantage would new Cisco headsets have over these seasoned and compatible devices?

Can we subscribe to get info on the release date for these headsets? Thanks
Is there a link to purchase?
Thank you
have the price points and release dates been confirmed? We are moving more than 250 of us from offices to an open floor plan in late summer early fall and have been looking at headset options, both wired and wireless. We will be using the 8800 model of phones.
