Jabra Biz 1500 Cisco bundles
The Jabra Biz 1500 Cisco-ready bundles are the most affordable professional corded option for Cisco 69xx, 79xx, and 89xx series phones, starting at $119.96. Each includes the Cisco-specific QD cable pre-configured for these phone families — connect it and it's ready to go, no separate cable purchase or configuration needed.
- Jabra Biz 1500 Mono Cisco — one ear, noise-cancelling microphone.
- Jabra Biz 1500 Duo Binaural Cisco — both ears, for louder environments.
Despite the budget price, these carry the same core features as headsets costing well over $200: a noise-cancelling microphone, Quick Disconnect (QD) cable, a 270-degree rotating boom, wideband audio, and all-day wearing comfort. Both include a full 2-year Jabra warranty (free replacement if it fails within that window) plus lifetime technical support from HeadsetPlus.
Poly EncorePro Cisco bundles
If you prefer Poly, the EncorePro HW510-CIS (mono) and HW520-CIS (binaural) are a step up in build — bulkier and longer-lasting — while remaining fully compatible with Cisco 69xx, 79xx, and 89xx series VoIP desk phones via the included Cisco-specific cable and standard Poly Quick Disconnect end tip.
One genuine differentiator at this price point: both are hearing aid compatible (HAC) with telecoil support, making them a solid option for anyone who needs a corded headset that works alongside their hearing aids. See our full HAC headsets guide for how telecoil compatibility works.
Features include wideband audio, SoundGuard technology that protects against sudden noise spikes, a 2-year warranty, a flexible noise-cancelling boom, and upgradable ear cushions.
Which one should you buy?
Choose the Jabra Biz 1500 if budget is the priority — it delivers professional-grade features at the lowest entry price for Cisco compatibility. Choose the Poly EncorePro HW510/HW520 if you want a bulkier, longer-lasting build, or specifically need hearing aid compatibility. Both are genuine professional headsets, not consumer-grade compromises, and both connect directly to Cisco 69xx, 79xx, and 89xx phones without an amplifier.
For newer Cisco phones (69xx, 78xx, 88xx, 99xx) or for wireless options and EHS remote-answer cables, see our full Cisco IP phone compatible headsets guide.

What is the most affordable Cisco-compatible headset?
The Jabra Biz 1500 Cisco bundle (Mono or Duo) is the most affordable professional Cisco-compatible corded headset, starting at $119.96. It includes the Cisco-specific cable pre-configured for 69xx, 79xx, and 89xx series phones, with a noise-cancelling microphone, QD cable, and a 2-year Jabra warranty.
Is there a hearing-aid-compatible headset for Cisco phones?

Do these headsets need a separate cable for my Cisco phone?
No. Both the Jabra Biz 1500 Cisco bundles and the Poly EncorePro HW510/HW520-CIS bundles include the Cisco-specific cable already configured for 69xx, 79xx, and 89xx series phones — connect the bundle and it works, with no separate cable purchase needed.
What's the difference between the Jabra Biz 1500 and Poly EncorePro for Cisco phones?
The Jabra Biz 1500 is the more affordable option starting at $119.96, with a lighter build. The Poly EncorePro HW510/HW520 costs somewhat more but offers a bulkier, longer-lasting build and hearing aid compatibility. Both include noise-cancelling microphones and a 2-year warranty.
Affordable doesn't have to mean compromised — both the Jabra Biz 1500 and Poly EncorePro Cisco bundles carry professional-grade features at a fraction of premium pricing. Pick based on budget (Jabra) or build and hearing-aid compatibility (Poly), and either connects straight to your Cisco 69xx, 79xx, or 89xx phone.
