A:AnswerIt connects to my PC via its own wireless USB adaptor-- it is not Bluetooth. I don't know of any phones with standard USB sockets like that..so my answer is No-- this was not made for phones. It works nicely on PCs and laptops for internet voice chat apps like Ventrilo or Discord.
A:AnswerNot with that specific program. But I use the headphone in conjunction with Skype, Whatsapp and Vsee for communication all over the world, including various language translators, with no distortion whatsoever. The program should have nothing to do with audio quality.
A:AnswerIt will! Since Nuance picks up on background noises, you will want to stay within the recommended 33-foot range of the wireless receiver for the headset.
A:AnswerDon't know what you meant by "soft phone".
The headphone and mic have no controls. I am using it with Discord (and have used other multiuser chat programs) and you use settings in the chat programs to specify PTT (push to talk) button/key or Voice Activated (and set the sound level that activates it). PTT is what I use-- so I do have to walk back to PC to reply. Others I know are using voice Activation....they can walk around. Sometimes VA is set too low, so you hear furious keyboard clacking...etc. you may find yourself wishing that others used PTT because they have no "filters" and you hear far more than you ever wanted to hear...
A:AnswerNot sure if this helps but my desk top piggy backs off the polycom ph and I connected the headset to the computer and make the calls through Skype. The wireless bit is a USB port.
A:AnswerYES...THIS HEADSET HAS A MUTE BUTTON ON THE RIGHT SIDE STEM, JUST BELOW THE ON/OFF BUTTON.
They also work well on my Dell and Apple Laptops.
