Audio Quality Subjective To The User; Connecting A Headset; Disabling A Headset - Cisco 7945G Administration Manual

Chapter 3 Setting Up the Cisco Unified IP Phone
The primary reason that support of a headset would be inappropriate for an installation is the potential
for an audible hum. This hum can either be heard by the remote party or by both the remote party and
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. In some
cases, a hum experienced by a user may be reduced or eliminated by using a local power cube. See the
"Safety" section on page 3-2
Cisco Unified IP Phone 7965G and 7945G support wideband headsets.
Note

Audio Quality Subjective to the User

Beyond the physical, mechanical and technical performance, the audio portion of a headset must sound
good to the user and the party on the far end. Sound quality is subjective and Cisco cannot guarantee the
performance of any headsets. However, a variety of headsets from leading headset manufacturers have
been reported to perform well with Cisco Unified IP Phones. See manufacturer's sites for details.
