[cisco-voip] 500 series headsets

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

I like the part about the guy who thought 51% was a monster discount, only to be followed up by someone saying, 51% is not a monster discount. lol

Seems like most of the complaints so far are on features for the price, as compared to established headset vendors out there.  When has Cisco ever been the cheaper option?  Seriously, when?  I've always thought of Cisco as the higher cost option, but maybe that's a perception that is incorrect.

I’m using a 532 with a DX80 and have been pretty happy with it.  I’ve gotten good feedback on audio quality and background noise as well.

For those not on CUG these are the headsets.

I played around with them at Enterprise Connect.  They seemed pretty nice especially with the phone menu integration to adjust settings and test audio.  I wasn't a fan of how small the in-call indicator is.  I think they should have made that a full ring.

Having the deep integration into Jabber and the phones will be really nice, but I've heard they are going to open this up to other headset vendors as well in the future most likely.

For softphones, I always have customers complaining of different software taking control of the headset and breaking audio for CIPC/Jabber.  If this can address those issues, it's definitely worth the premium price point and will help me to start pushing customers more towards softphones.
