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.

We purchased this product to replace an older version, it has excellent range in our giant metal building, the design is visually appealing and sound quality is very good. We will be purchasing a few more now that we know we like it.

Love everything, except, I wish there was a way to put callers on hold while I am running back to the desk.

Had this about 10-12 hours and battery life is terrible. They advertise 7 hours talk time and it is more like an hour or two at best.

We purchased these headset for our customer service and sales staff and they have worked wonderfully. Comfortable to wear for extended periods of time and good range if you need to step away from your desk for something. Controls are simple and easy to employ, the mute in particular is great as it gives a clear audio response for activation. We have had no issues with battery life ,dropped calls or any other problems commonly associated with wireless headsets. I would recommend this headset to anyone who spends extended periods of time on the phone and enjoys having both of their hands free.

The website did not have enough details on the product specs but it works great with an execption that the phone handles has to be raised as well when using the bluetooth headset

This devices has great range for roaming while talking. Making it easier to do tasks further away from the base station while on a call. Voice quality is better than the previous model. Making it easier to do tasks further away from the base station while on

I use my headset roughly 8 hours a day and I have been very pleased that it is comfortable and has great sound. Would like it to have 2 different ringtones for incoming calls and in office calls.

Although we had to tape it together after year one of use, the headset functioned for three years with no problems. It is sadly now dead, but three years isn’t too bad!

The CS540 Headset is a popular product for our clients who are looking for mobility in their Office and Team areas. The headset connects faultlessly to the Unify OpenStage telephones and with remote answering (via Headset lifter) and freedom of movement, it enhances their communication with clients and team members. Getting to the call on time, first time.

I purchased this Plantronics in December (replaced my old one that was no longer made nor could be refurbished), while I thought my old one was great, I am very impressed with this new product and have recommended it to may of my constituents to utilize in their office.

The unit is compatible with the Shoretel 230 phone. However it does need another accessory to allow the headset to let you know you have an incoming call when you are away from your desk.

Purchased (4) sets a couple of weeks ago for dispatchers at our trucking company. So far they all love them and I have heard no complaints.
Godfrey Jaskolski (verified owner) –
The first day I used it, the battery lasted all day. I returned it to the charger before I left. The next day, and subscequent days thereafter, it lasted about one hour before beeping in my ear to indicate low battery. Huh??? I leave it on my ear all day because it is awkward to get to fit my ear, and taking it on and off is impractical.

Been using it for about a week. It works well. Looking forward to using it a lot more.

Valerie Klein (verified owner) –
Very happy with the headset only wish we could put calls on hold with it.

Easy to operate and adjust to your hearing level. Stays connected 100 ft away from base. If I have any complaint; it would be the over the ear hook could be more like the CS55 model.
