VoIP phones with headphone socket?

[helpimcrap]

Can anyone recommend any?

Don't want Bluetooth as the headphones have a cable and want to use them.

Also ideally needs to be a 2nd wireless docking station with headphone socket or headphone socket on the phone.

Has to be this way due to working at home and confidentiality etc.

The internet wireless router is in my office and she needs access to VoIP with a headset in hers.

Any recommendations?

I can't quite follow your requirements, but VOIP phones are moving away from 2.5mm/3.5mm headset sockets to USB sockets that support a wide range of USB headsets, so choices are limited if you need a 3.5mm socket

As for VOIP phones with WiFi and USB Headset support: Yealink T34W is around £65

This is the compatibility list with headsets (from our IT team, so may be out of date!)

Or if you want a DECT headset that is VOIP, the Yealink W74P has a 3.5mm headset socket which might work for you.

The Yealink W74P, a high-performance SIP cordless phone system that can register 10 Yealink DECT W78H handsets, is the ideal solution for small and medium-sized businesses.

You would put the DECT receiver in your office, wired to your router, then the charging station/phone in your wifes office.

You can buy just the DECT gateway (e.g. yealink W70p) and then just buy individual headsets with the features you want (the W70p allows up to 10 headsets), again, the W70p would be wired via ethernet to your router in your office, but each DECT headset would then be in each location you want around the house.

There are other solutions, we just have Yealink in work and they seem to work well enough.

Can confirm what Demon said is correct, my Yealink DECT phone is 'wireless' other than the base station where the router is and has a 3.5 mm headphone jack on the side.

This is what I do. I use Zoiper 5 on my Mac desktop and laptop.

Is she self-employed, surely her company provides a way to use a phone. I actually work for a telecoms company and most people are moving away from handsets to either an app on their mobile, allowing them to work anywhere in the world or an app and headset on PC. I have a home office so am lucky I was able to ditch the headset and use a speakerphone unit connected to my PC instead and its so nice being on a Teams call and not having that headset in the picture.

There are two models of cordless phones we sell, the Poly DECT D230, but this is hard to get now as Poly has replaced with the Rove, which I don't like so I have instead suggested we start selling the W70 base with either the W76 or W79 handset, but I haven't checked either for 3.5mm compatibility as anyone we sell a DECT handset to wants it for the portability and not to be tied down to a corded headset.

I have zoiper5/voip on an iphone - op could get a usb audio interface to then connect with 3.5mm headset, to preserve voip bandwidth/quality,
which I don't think a bluetooth 3.5mm interface would.

 

[pepp77]

I have both Teams with PSTN and 8x8 on my mobile that I use when out of the house, 8x8 is our corporate phone system and teams I use so I can demo it, check functionality etc. You can add a 3.5mm headset to an iphone with an adapter, but bluetooth is a proven technology with phones and as long as you get an actual bluetooth headset and not a set or earphones with mic built in then the quality should be perfectly fine. Hell most of my customers use ipods most of the time anyway.

Our Gigaset phones have a 2.5mm socket and we can use them with headsets. Generic (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gigaset-headset/s?k=gigaset+headset) headsets.

I thought that was exclusively for headphone, not headset with mic, ie 3-pin, but I'm new to their ecosystem

but bluetooth is a proven technology with phones

it works but the quality downgrade it imposes on incoming VOIP/4gHD quality isn't ideal, with current HDP 1.6 standard V, as manifested on car systems,
so would you recommend it in a customer facing setup, or working from home, versus dect/usb.
I had auditioned voip versus regular(non-hd) 4g call for home use and voip wins

hands free phone quality improvement upcoming on android -> 4GHDvoice - making in car as good as speaking directly on phone.

In short, this will expand the range of frequencies reproduced through hands-free devices. The standard in use on the Android OS side dates from HDP v1.6 and is known in the telephony industry as Wideband. It is specified to cover frequencies from 50Hz to 7KHz and is also commercially termed as HD Voice. Delivery happens through a special, HFP-dedicated version of the SBC codec called mSBC.

In making the step from HFP v1.8 to v1.9 — which is still in the drafting stage — Android will upgrade to Super Wideband (50Hz-14kHz) and use the relatively new LC3 codec to make that happen. That's just short of Fullband reproduction (20Hz-20kHz), which most consumer Bluetooth audio gear is capable of.

You might be right about the iphone, ive always bluetoothed

In a customer facing setup we always recommend wired USB or cordless DECT headsets where the base station is also a usb connection, but again no customers who use bluetooth headsets have made complaints about them.
