Plantronics CS50 Wireless Convertible Headset
Casey Martinez - Staff Reviewer

The CS50 is like the best friend I never knew I needed or wanted, but once I had I couldn’t let go.

Before I had been introduced to the world of wireless headsets I had a misconception that they’d sound horrible, not be versatile, not get a lot of range, and die frequently. I was immediately proved wrong after my first meeting with the CS50.

After the quick setup that took me less than 10 minutes, I discovered that first of all, it was comfortable to wear.

Ear hooks that come in three different sizes instead of a one-size-fits-all type ear hook immediately sold me on the comfort factor.

Add to that the option that I can wear it over my head on those bad hair days (and blame it on the headset) and I saw my opinion of the headset start to change.

What about the technical side of it? How would I sound to my callers and how would they sound to me?

Imagine my surprise when I realized the sound quality was crystal clear and upon quizzing people I spoke with, they had no idea I was even on a headset.

The range was great and the talk time was perfect for my eight-hour day.

I let the headset charge over night and it’s ready to last with me the very next day throughout my whole shift.

I had grossly underestimated technology, and I was thoroughly impressed with the CS50.

The one drawback of it is that there may be interference, static, or buzzing when used close to other wireless products, but otherwise I’d recommend this headset to anyone.

True productivity

Just wanted to say thanks and let you know the Plantronics Wireless Headset is really awesome. My productivity has gone up because:
1) I'm missing fewer calls and
2) I'm able to do more while on the phone. Can't thank you enough for your help.

CS50 Wireless Headset - WOW!!

I have had the CS50 for just over a week! It is incredible. It offers me mobility and allows me to answer the phone when I am not at my desk (I also bought the handset lifter). I have moved up to 300 ft. with it and there is no fuzziness or break up in the conversation. The nice thing as well is the battery last 8 hrs. I am on the phone all day so I don't ave to worry about the phone dying on me. All I do when I leave is throw it on the charger and the next morning it is good to go. There is one little thing that can be improved upon. It is hard to hear the headset ring when you are away from the phone. If I don't hear the handset ring then I wouldn't know the phone is ringing. Other than that this headset gets 2 thumbs up. I really enjoy using it!!

Nifty nifty CS-50

The CS-50 is ultra stylish and very lightweight. It does however take a significant adjustment period and tweaking to get the sound quality up to par- sounded like I was in a tin can during a windstorm. The amp is way powerful- had to crank our system down to use it ultimately. It was very sensitive to exposure to fluorescent lights or computers- 60hz hum very apparent. But you expect this to some degree with a 900MHz product. Overall, overpriced still, but will be the leader.

CS50 WOW!!!

I have been using the CS50 Headset for 3 weeks now. I can answer the phone and walk all over our 2 story building without any problems. This headset is so clear. It is the best headset I've ever used. I am thrilled with it. It even works in the elevator. The only problem is that the earpiece does not fit flush on the ear. So I secured an old earpiece cushion from my old headset to it. Now it fits flush against the ear canal and I can turn the volume down. I was surprised how much better it is now. That would be the only thing I would change. WOW!

Plantronics CS50 Wireless Convertible Headset

So far we love this product. We are an audiology clinic and most of the people we talk to on the phone have hearing loss. I was expecting to have people tell me that they could not hear me with the headset, but it hasn't been a problem at all. The only thing we were disappointed about was that in order to use a second microphone, we have to go through the re-synching process at shift changes (2 people job share and we didn't want to use the same microphone).

The included accessories are well thought out. Four sizes of ear hooks, foam pads, and over the head adapter. The instructions are easy to follow.

Since multiple people use the same headset, it would be better if the larger adjustments for hearing and listening would be easier to access readily.

Plantronics CS55 Completely Wireless Headset System with Con

While I like the hands free format, I do not like the over the ear piece that goes with the CS55. the small, hard plastic pieces have no instructions showing how they should be worn. The pieces (many sizes included, which is nice) are painful against the ear, even with the earmuff to cover the center portion of the piece. I have yet to receive my behind the head piece to ascertain how it will work.

CS55 Completely Wireless Headset System

I do like the product and the ease it provides me to multitask. It was easy to set up. The only negative thing is the pressure I feel on my ear. At the end of the day my ear is a little sore. It would be great to have some cushion to protect the ear.

It works quite well, my only complaint is the ear pieces don't work well on my ear, none of them seem to be rounded enough, and they are a little too hard for my comfort

Plantronics CS55 Wireless Convertible Headset

Unfortunately, I'm disappointed with the headset I've ordered because I don't like the way it sits on my ear. It doesn't stay in place the way I thought it would and I don't want to use the one that goes over your head. I will be attempting to return this product.

Plantronics CS50 Wireless Convertible Headset

I am using my new CS50 cordless headset. It is the second one I've had. I loved the first one I had one for about 15 months. that one inadvertently got caught in the long arm on one of my outside potted plants and came off my ear and I didn't know where I lost it. I found it a month later and it had been in the several heavy rains and didn't work anymore. The new one seems as good as the first. Tried a couple of different ones from another brand and they did not match up well.

SO FAR I REALLY LIKE THIS HEADSET. I HAVE IT SET TO GO OVER THE EAR INSTEAD OF THE HEAD AND IT SEEMS TO BE WORKING OUT. I DID GET THE HANDSET LIFTER, BUT HAVE NOT HAD A FREE MOMENT TO GET THE I/T GUY IN TO REPROGRAM THE PHONE TO USE IT. I CAN'T WAIT FOR THAT TO HAPPEN! THEN ANSWERING & DISCONNECTING WILL BE SO MUCH EASIER WHEN I AM AWAY FROM MY DESK!

I love this headset, I can walk around out in our warehouse and talk to someone at the same time. The voice quality and reception distance are fantastic. The folks at Headsets.com were very helpful in helping get this headset set up and adjusted so that voice quality and volume were perfect for me. I would recommend this headset and Headsets.com to anyone looking for this or a similar product.

Plantronics Automated Handset Lifter (HL10)& ear piece

We bought this for our office manager and she hated it. She continually either was too loud or could not be heard. There was static and loud noises in her ear. The lifter did not work to put the phone back on the hook and the whole experience was a nightmare for her. She returned everything.

This headset is being used by one of our triage nurses. She has said that she hears an echo. Also, the first 2 days, the charge only lasted for 5 hours. Hopefully after charging for the entire weekend, this seems to be lasting longer.

The quality if great, but the earpiece is too heavy and very uncomfortable when worn with just the wrap around piece. I do not like over the head headsets, but the microphone is just too heavy to wear with only the over the ear earpiece.

Very easy set up, not complicated at all. I wish I could put calls on hold and answer other calls, that's the only thing I miss. SO far (I've only had it a week) I really like the product. It's funny that the lifter is mechanical, you'd expect something more high tech, but it works.

Plantronics CS50 & CS55 Earhooks (3 normal sizes + 1 extra-comfortable earhook)

Prefer the over the head style. The ear hooks put pressure on parts of my ear that are uncomfortable. I have a Blue tooth for my cell phone that is comfortable because it fits inside my ear and not on the outside.

The CS50 headsets were the perfect solution for our company! Dispatchers can work while on the phone and walk down the hall and still get their calls. Before the headsets, they would use speaker phone to talk and work at the same time and couldn't get down the hall without a page over the speakers for them. It's so quiet now in dispatch that I had to order the on-line indicator so we would know when they were on a phone call. We can't wait until they arrive and try them out.

Plantronics CS50

When I first started using this product I wasn't extremely satisfied. I wear it for 8 hours a day, and using just the ear loop began to hurt my ear and the sound quality wasn't satisfactory. However, after changing from just the ear loop to the head band, I'm overly satisfied. It's comfortable, light, and the sound quality is impeccable.

Ringer volume

I love the flexibility these headsets give you. Light weight, comfortable, sound quality is great except for the ringer volume on the CS50. The ringer volume is great on the CS55, but it doesn't have the range that I need.

Really like the unit and its headset. Everyone that I have given it to (with only one exception) has enjoyed the benefits. I have only one complaint and it is specific with the headset itself. When people use the "on-the-ear" loop it really seems to irritate the back of the ear and cause discomfort.

I love this product. The only problem I see is the ear piece. I can't wear it all day on one side because I also wear glasses and it becomes painful after a period of time. The headset itself is very comfortable, however, it really does a number on my hairdo. So, that is the only dilemma I struggle with everyday.
