Third Party Headsets

Cisco Systems performs internal testing of third-party headsets for use with Cisco IP Phones. But Cisco does
not certify or support products from headset or handset vendors.
Headsets connect to your phone using either the USB or the auxiliary port. Depending upon your headset
model, you have to adjust your phone's audio settings for the best audio experience, including the headset
sidetone setting.
If you have a third-party headset, and you apply a new sidetone setting, then wait one minute and reboot the
phone so the setting is stored in flash.
The phone reduces some background noise that a headset microphone detects. You can use a noise canceling
headset to further reduce the background noise and improve the overall audio quality.
If you are considering a third-party headset, we recommend the use of good quality external devices; for
example, headsets that are screened against unwanted radio frequency (RF) and audio frequency (AF) signals.
