The CS540 Wireless Headset System by Plantronics is destined to be the new standard in DECT (digital enhanced cordless telecommunication) wireless headsets. DECT technology provides superb audio and eliminates interference from Wi-Fi networks.
The CS540 has all the features you could ask for in a wireless headset starting with its elegant, contemporary design and lightweight 0.74 oz (21 g) headset with one-touch call/answer, volume, mute and flash controls all at your fingertips. The headset provides up to 350 feet of hands-free operation with a replaceable battery which charges in three hours and lasts up to seven.
If that wasn’t enough, it also offers a noise-canceling microphone which reduces background ambiance ensuring exceptional audio quality and easing listener fatigue. While you’re the one listening, SoundGuard technology protects against sound levels above 118 dBA and Anti-startle technology detects and eliminates large and sudden increases in signal level.
Setup is simple. The CS540 base connects to any desk phone with the included telephone interface cable. To answer, simply press the call/answer button on the headset or for touchless operation, enable the auto answer feature allowing you to accept incoming calls by a simple lift of the handset. Once connected, you’ll experience high definition voice quality with advanced wideband audio technology and enhanced DSP (digital signal processing) making speech sound clearer and more natural.
New headsets can be connected to the base by simply docking them. Once a headset has been docked, you can then begin using it right away with the system. Conference in up to three additional headsets for enhanced collaboration and use the optional Electronic Hookswitch Cable or Handset Lifter for remotely answering or ending calls (each sold separately).
Please note! This headset is designed to work with most desktop phones on the market. For specific compatibility, please check the Plantronics website, where you can enter the make and model number of your phone.

Love this headset and the folks at Plantronics were great to deal with.

We are trying the newer version as the older one did not last very long barely a year

I purchased this to replace an older Plantronics headset with a failing, no longer supported battery. The CS540 lasts all day and has a far greater range than the one it replaced. It is a little difficult to find the right and most comfortable ear gel piece but I can wear it all day and not have a problem.

In our business it is great to have our hands free while we are on the phone with our customers. We often need to get up to obtain a loan file, or to walk across the office to speak with another colleague while we are on the line. Our new Plantronics CS540’s work great for our team, and make us more efficient in our work. We loved the CS line and wanted to stay with Plantronics because it is a local company, and my perception is that Plantronics is the industry standard. I receive catalogs in the mail from other companies, but I don’t perceive the same quality that I recurrently have had with Plantronics.

nice to have wireless so I can close my office door. Ability to adjust volume to minimize feedback is great.

Bought two of these headsets to replace units from Jabra, that had developed an echo/delay and strange sounds form the earpieces. Priced reasonably for the functionality. The over-the-head option for the headset is a bit lightweight for the use it will get in the office. The sound quality seems to be good and the controls are easy to access and understand. Plantronics’ online compatability checker is useless, had to call customer support to check if this unit would work with our phone system. Have only been using them for about a month, but the sales department seems to like them. I would recommmend them for light to medium use in a relatively quiet office environment.

I read the reviews before purchasing my unit, glad I followed my heart and made the purchase. The ear bud was a bit difficult, but turned the rubber piece around that actually goes into your ear around and it fits just fine. Also there were size options with my set. I also got the head set as well as the ear bud, so there was an option that suites anyone’s preference. The on off button is different that my old set but I am sure that i will get used to it. I read that someone had difficulty hearing – under the unit itself is where you can turn up the listening and speaking volume, etc. Al in all, I think I am going to love this set as much as my old set. I do agree that the ear piece on the old set was extremely comfortable. But it’s just a matter of getting used to this one. It feels like my cell phone bluetooth (just a bit bigger…ok alot bigger).
