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.
