Q: Will this headset work with Avaya desk phone model 9611G? If not, then what headset here at Best Buy will work with this phone?

A: Hello! Yes, the CS520 is compatible with an Avaya 9611G desk phone. If you would like to have remote control feature to answer/end calls from the headset itself, you would need an APV-63 EHS cable (PN: 38734-11). Please note not all phones support EHS and APV-63 is designed for some Avaya phones including the 9166G. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact our Customer Care Team at: 1-888-363-0726.

Q: Is this compatible with the Cisco 8841 office phones.

A: Hi Dallas! Yes, this wireless headset system is compatible with that phone to talk and listen through phone calls. If you'd like to have call remote control feature to answer/end calls by just pressing a button on the actual headset, you'll need an APC-43 EHS cable, which is the one your phone supports. Please note If you're using the key expansion module 7914 cable 85638-01 or 40287-05 (Europe) from Plantronics is required. Callmanger needs to be at version 4.1(3) or greater.

Q: Is this headset compatible to be used with verto communicator program which is what we use at the call center that I work for from home?

A: Hi there! The CS520 was designed for office desk phones; However, there is a way to make it PC compatible, just by getting the APU-75 cable which provide USB connectivity to the charging cradle. As long as the APU-75 is selected as default under sound settings (playback devices and recording devices), you should be able to listen and talk through conference calls. As for having Remote Call Control, most likely you won't be able to answer/end/mute calls directly through the headset. Some programs/soft phones provide this feature by default, and some have been integrated and certified to provide this feature by installing our Hub Software on the PC. In this case, Verto Communicator is not listed: https://bit.ly/3lIEaja. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact our Customer Care Team at: 1-855-765-7878
