Headset
Although Cisco performs internal testing of third-party headsets for use with the Cisco Unified IP Phones,
Cisco does not certify or support products from headset or handset vendors.
We recommend the use of good-quality external devices; for example, headsets that are screened against
unwanted radio frequency (RF) and audio frequency (AF) signals. Depending on the quality of headsets and
their proximity to other devices, such as mobile phones and two-way radios, some audio noise or echo can
still occur.
An audible hum or buzz may be heard by the remote party, or the remote party and the Cisco Unified IP Phone
user. A range of outside sources such as electric lights, electric motors, or PC monitors can cause humming
or buzzing sounds. (In some cases, hum can be reduced or eliminated by using a local power cube or power
injector.)
The Cisco Unified IP Phone 7931G supports wideband headsets.
Note
These environmental and hardware inconsistencies in the locations where Cisco Unified IP Phones are deployed
means that not one single headset solution is optimal for all environments.
We recommend that customers test headsets in their intended environment to determine performance before
making a purchasing decision and deploying en mass.

Audio Quality
Beyond physical, mechanical, and technical performance, the audio portion of a headset must sound good to
the user and to the party on the far end. Sound quality is subjective and Cisco cannot guarantee the performance
of any headsets. However, a variety of headsets from leading headset manufacturers are reported to perform
well with Cisco Unified IP Phones.
