Wireless Headset Offers Non-Mechanical Call Control

Throw away your rubber-band’s (at least that’s what we use at VoIP Supply). The age of the non-mechanical wireless headset adapter for ip phones is here. If you have ever used a wireless headset adapter with your ip phone, you know what a pain the mechanical headset lifter can be. The headset lifter does not work correctly (hence the use of rubber bands to fasten the handset to the lifter). Leave it to snom, who is continuously on the bleeding edge in VoIP endpoint technology to release a non-mechanical wireless headset adapter for desktop ip phones.

About the Snom Wireless Headset Adapter

The snom Wireless Headset Adapter has an EHS, non-mechanical interface between the snom ip phone and wireless headset, conforming to vendor-specific as well as DHSG standards. It allows for electronic reception of calls on the headset itself, offering users the convenience of using a stationary phone while roaming freely throughout the home or office.

According to snom, when a phone receives an incoming call, the ringing tone is signalled through the wireless adapter to the headset. While some traditional headsets require the activation of multiple buttons on both the portal and the actual phone, users of snom’s Wireless Headset Adapter can answer and terminate calls with the touch of a button on the headset itself.

First Impressions on the snom Wireless Headset Adapter

This is exactly what I (and many like me from what I hear…no pun intended) have been wanting for quite sometime. The only problem? It only works for the snom 320, 360, and 370 phones. So for those of us who do not use a snom desktop ip phone we are out of luck. Here’s hoping the release a universal version.
