Cisco 7940 Headset Buying Guide
Choosing a headset
for your Cisco 7940 series IP phone that you will use everyday can be difficult as there are a ton of choices and different features as well as different styles to choose from.
Each type has its own pros and cons, but in this guide we will demystify all of the options and help you choose a headset that
is right for you.
The Cisco 7940 series IP phones include a modular headset connection on the back
of the phone. True to Cisco's name the 7940 series IP phones are built
remarkably well. It includes plenty of built in amplification for most
environments, making an external amplifier usually unnecessary. In fact, the
7940 is known as one of the loudest phones on the market.
Voice tube headsets While voice tube headsets provide excellent voice clarity with very little
weight. The problem with these is that they do not provide noise
canceling and therefor will pickup background noise so using these in a
noisy office environment can be a problem. For home workers or people
in their own office, these can be an excellent choice. Most people will
need to replace the voice tube every 6 to 9 months or so.
Noise Canceling headsets Unlike
the lightweight voice tubes, a noise canceling headset will have a
microphone on the end of a boom arm. Because these headsets contain
more electronics to handle the noise cancellation, these are bulkier and
heavier than voice tube headsets. Since these will filter out
background noise these are best used in areas with medium to high
background noise. These headsets typically are more expensive than
voice tube headsets.
Single Ear or Dual Ear Style This
is really more a choice of comfort than anything else unless you happen
to be in a high noise environment, then a dual ear may allow you to
hear the conversation better. Many of the newer single ear designs do
not require the old headband hook and work more like bluetooth phone
headsets and fit "over the ear".
Most of the dual ear headset
have an over-the-head band which most people think is pretty
uncomfortable (not to mention causing headset hair) but some newer
designs have a behind-the-neck band which is quite comfortable and does
not have the same hair-flattening feature as an over-the-head design.
Wired or wireless? For the ultimate in cool-factor,
nothing beats a wireless headset with a huge range allowing you to
stroll around the office, go refresh your coffee, and still look like
you are talking to yourself and being able to avoid office
conversations simply by pointing at your ear and pretending you are on
a call. For other people, being able to walk away from the desk while
on the phone may actually have a huge productivity advantage as well.
Of course the downside to being uber-cool is that the cost of wireless
headsets is about three times as much as a wired headset. With wired
headsets you also don't have to worry about recharging the headset or
dealing with batteries.
Do you need an amplifier? The
Cisco 7940 series IP phones natural sound is quite remarkable and typically an
external amplifier is not necessary. In
louder or call center environments an amplifier may be needed to combat
background noise.
What cord do I need?
The Cisco 7940 series IP phones use a modular headset jack on the back of the
phone. Voiplink includes this cable free of charge with your purchase. If you have any questions please
