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.

The headset works okay, but it fails to keep a charge after 3 hours, I hear a beeping sound and then it just clearly cuts off the caller without more warning. Then I need to plug the headset into the base and let it charge back up again. And again, the headset can only hold up for 3 hours and it fails again, and again. Not a buy if you are someone like me who is clearly on the phone all the time.

Replaced one that I had used for several years. Nice upgrade.

It is really fragile, breaks easily and it doesn’t work after 2 months of purchase !

Great sound and classy looking. The best headset I have ever had.

I use this headset for my job. I’ve been through 2 in less than 2yrs. For $350 a pop they should get more life out of them. The base stops charging and the headsets lose their charge too quickly.

We had to warranty our first purchase, love the product though.

This product works great for that busy worker who needs to talk on the phone and work at the same time.

Plugged it in right out of the box and was using it within a half hour. Great sound quality. Love having the option to use this using the over-the-head or over-ear styles. Great having volume controls and on/off button right on the ear piece. I didn’t buy the auto answering accessory because I don’t roam far from the phone base when using the headset, so this is perfect as a stand-alone solution. Easy and quick to switch between using the handset or headset.

The CS530 Model is a great product. The range is amazing with very good clarity. People on the other end of the call can hear me clearly and I can hear them very well. The over the ear headset is comfortable and lightweight. The microphone is a little long but it really isn’t an issue. The mute function is much improved over older models (you can do it easily with one hand).

Range is excellent, clarity is great, user-friendliness up to par of what I’ve come to expect from Plantronics. Phenomenal all-around product.

I purchased this through my company. When I tried to set it up, the microphone did not work and the microphone setting switch on the base unit was broken.

The worst part about this headset for me is that the battery doesn’t last for my full work day. I spend the first hour answering phones without it so I can get through the rest of the day without it beeping in my ear that last hour. I’ve asked my workplace to order something else for me and everyone else that might need a headset. A product should at least be able to make it through an 8 hour work day.

My first one lasted 9 years, but I guess this one was a lemon. I have requested a replacement since it’s only been 2 months since I purchased but I highly recommend this product. It’s just one of those things.

I have been using the headset for about three weeks. I has the CS70 before and loved it, but it died after several years of use. I get a ton of complaints that the volume is too low on the callers side and have tried adjusting it a number of times to no avail. The earpiece is not comfortable ( I don’t like the over-the-head style). It is a stiff plastic piece compared to the soft cushioned headset on the CS70.

I started using the CS530 about 3 weeks ago and I really liked it but 2 days ago the headset completely died. I have put in for a replacement so I’ll have to see how that goes.

This is my secon plantronics headset and love it. Very easy to setup and volume adjustment is very nice. Love this headset! It helps me and other users to conduct business and talk at the same time, while needing to use both hands.

Bought this to be able to answer phones when our part time receptionist is not here. Very lightweight and easy to use. Great improvement over our previous headset that was connected by a wire to the handset lifter device.

I have had this product less than a week & the longest it will hold a call is maybe 5 minutes even with a full battery charge. It just hangs up on people mid sentence.

I just received this but I don’t know how I can answer a call without lifting the desk phone up, I used to do it with an old Plantronics headset.
