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 just bought our twelfth Plantronics headset and we only buy Plantronics at my company because of the reliability experienced over the years. We bought our first CS540. Excellent quality. I think the earpiece pivot feature is a bit stiff and sometimes the entire headband wants to move when pivoting the earpiece..Otherwise, it’s great.

Purchased several for our cube farm. Everyone likes them after the correct settings were found. I like the CS540 better than my old CS50 and my lifter plugged right into the CS540. Others are asking for the CS540 now.

I needed my ear piece replace because it appears the permanent battery had worn out. The company was very quick to replace the unit after i mailed in the headset. I needed the headset for my business so it was important that it was replaced quickly and the company delivered.

I received the headset and plugged it in. I could hear the people calling me but they couldn’t hear me. I made three calls to tech support before one guy finally figured out the headset was not wired correctly for my phone. I have been using a GN Netcom headset for over ten years with no problems. I don’t understand why a Plantronics headset will not work.

The company I support needed an additional phone for a new employee. I went to your website, found the product I needed and boom – 5-minutes later I was finished. Received the product three days later

I use this as an over-the-head set and I don’t use the little silicon ear insert, I use the over-the-ear cushion, and it is very comfortable. I spend 3-4 hours on the phone per day as I telecommute: comfortable; good battery life for my use; great range throughout the house. My only gripe keeping this from a 5 is the Mute button. The mute should have been a separate button from the volume control. Pressing down on it can something create a double-click, and you aren’t always sure if it is enabled or not. I sometime have to press it several times to make sure it is engaged. On the CS55, there was a faint little beep to tell you Mute is engaged, on this head set none.

The ear piece does not hold tight to ear and it doesn’t sit well into ear canal. Very easy to knock off as it’s quite big/long. Great sound, nice charging, too bad it’s such an uncomfortable fit.

I’ve had this for a month and just love it. The way it connects to the phone makes it easier for my co-worker to use the hand set more comfortably w/out pulling the phone. The head set is light weight and fits well over my head and does not hurt my ear.

This product is rubbish! The whole unit is too flimsey – it would blow over if you coughed too hard – and the earpiece is very temperamental.

I opened the box and when to attach the headset instead of the earpiece and it broke. Haven’t been able to use it yet. I called the tech support and they do not have replacement parts and then told me I would need to go to the website for replacement. I now have 2 hours in to the thing and haven’t even been able to use the thing.

I bought this two years ago and the return was hassle free. I am very impressed at how easy it was to return the equipment and was very satisfied with the replacement cost.

These headsets are a big hit in our office and I only order from B&H because they seem to be less expensive that other vendors. Easy set-up, clear sound, and arrived in just a few days.

Just started using the CS530 headset, call clarity is great and very comfortable over the ear design, may have gone with another style had I known it was this cumbersome to get it on and off. I typically don’t wear the unit all day long and putting it on just to answer the phone is not very convenient.

It goes on my ear first thing in the a.m. and is only removed for lunch and evening departure. The battery lasts thru it all!
