What headsets work with Polycom Phones?

If you are looking at getting a compatible wired or wireless headset for your Polycom phone then the first thing you need to be aware of is there are many different types of Polycom phone models and each come with many different types of headset connection. Polycom use 4 types of headset connection across the whole series:
  1. RJ9 square type jack (this headset connection works with all Polycom phones)
  2. Wireless or cordless using DECT technology (this headset connection works with all Polycom phones)
  3. Wireless or cordless using Bluetooth (only Polycom VVX 600 VVX 601 has Bluetooth compatibility)
  4. USB type A (this headset connection works on VVX 401, VVX 410, VVX 411, VVX 450, VVX 500, VVX 501, VVX 600 & VVX 601)

 

So the good news is: All Polycom phone models are headset compatible (for both wired & wireless headsets) So now you know which headsets work with Polycom phones - prety much all of them! The main series of phones are:

Polycom VVX – latest series (uses all 4 connections across the range but each model varies on how many types of headset connection there are on each individual model – *see below)

Polycom SoundPoint (will accept standard wired RJ9 and DECT wireless headsets only)
