VoIP Phone Compatible Headsets

VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phones are now more and more common in the office than the traditional analog (PTSN) phones.  Major phone manufacturers like Cisco, Avaya, Nortel are now selling more VoIP phones than all the previous models combined! What all these VoIP phones have in common is they are “intelligent” and have built-in “headset” ready jacks equipped with built-in amplifiers for the corded headsets as well as software for EHS (electronic hook-switch) remote answering capabilities for the wireless headsets.

What does that It means?  With these new VoIP phones, if you want to use a headset, you don’t need to purchase an amplifier in conjunction with with a corded corded headset like the old days.  You can simply purchase a direct connect headset, already pre-packaged with a RJ-9 (RJ-22) jack that will plug directly into the “headset” jack of your VoIP phone.
