Is there a Passive Headset Adaptor available to use with phone and pc simultaneously? A switch would allow cancelling PC and allow answering phone.

No need for an adapter. Built in functionality. When my cell phone rings, I only hear the cell phone, not the PC. In the Jabra Device Service Preferences tab, there's a feature to 'Pause Windows Media Player when a call is initiated'. Also in the Sound dialog box, "Windows can automatically adjust the volume of different sounds when you are using your PC to place or receive telephone calls'.

Sorry, don't know. I only have one phone. My GF has a Samsung/android phone (don't know the model) and a slightly different Plantronics headset which works fine.

Hi Larry, I'm sorry that I cannot answer your question. I use it as it was sold and really love the headset. I can say that it does not appear that you can plug in a different headset to the base. Plantronics does have many other headset types and probably has something that interfaces with your phone system but may require that you call them to find out what your options are. Best of luck

this headset comes with 2 jacks, one for the speaker jack and one for the mike jack. it will match up to your pc perfectly. to use this with other items (cell phone) you would need an adapter that has a 4 prong (or 4 contacts) connector for the stereo speakers and the mic.

Good question. I only use it attached to phone. There are additional imputs in the base - one for PC(usb) that might work Why do you not contact sennheiser or Headsets CS at 800 432 3738 and ask them.

You WILL need the adapter from the headset to the phone. I could not find the adapter on Amazon, I had to go to the Passport web site to buy one. It is confusing ! I can say that this headset is very nice and you will be very pleased with it.

Sorry, can't answer that question. The headset has the same plug at the end as a telephone handset uses.

Hi, I never saw that problem. Can you answer the call from the phone and use the headset? You only need to quickly tap the multifunction button to answer the call or hang up. Too long can turn it off. If you are doing it correctly and it still turns it off, ask for an exchange before time runs out. Hope this helps.

I believe you can if you purchase an adapter such as the Headset Buddy:PC Headset to 3.5mm Smartphone Adapter - 01-PC35-PH35

Most laptops that have microphone and headphone sockets have them as separate connectors. This headset is made for mobile phones which uses one connector that combines headphone and microphone. I cannot find the right adapter at radio shack, but a quick search on ebay for "Smartphone Headset to PC Adapter" turned up many adapters. I cannot tell you for certain that they will work for you, but if I had to do this, that is where I would start.

In most models, there is an additional phone jack in the back of the phone for the headset plug. It should NOT replace the handset. It's in addition to it. So, once you plug the headset into the back of the phone, there will be a button on your phone's keyboard that looks like a headset. When you press that, it will enable the use of the "headset". To disconnect the call, just press the "headset" button again. You can switch back and forth between the headset use, speaker phone, and the handset. You'll get used to it very quickly.

There are adapters which will convert the plug from the headset to a phone. That said, it won't function as surround-sound and whatnot since that feature comes from the audio hardware in the base. You can use it will a phone though to make calls and whatnot.

I never found an alternative amplifier. What I have now that works pretty well is a Plantronics H3.A355 headset, which I ordered from Hello Direct as their model number "Plx Audio 355 Hdst". It seems to have enough sensitivity and earmuffing for me that I can dispense with the amplifier. Unfortunately, it ends in two RCA plugs, so I need adapters, which I found on Amazon. One is a "Headset Buddy Adapter: PC Headset to Phone Adapter PC35-PH25", which I use for my wireless landline, and another is "D & K Exclusives PC Headset to 3.5mm Smartphone Adapter", with a 4-conductor plug for my iPhone.

This is for the opposite purpose-using an older-style headset, one with separate cords for the mic and headphones, with a newer device like a smartphone.I'm guessing you have a PC with an actual sound card, and separate mic and speaker plugs (usually red and green, respectively, I think). In that case you would need the exact opposite counterpart to this product: StarTech MUYHSFMM 3.5mm 4 Pin to 2x3 Pin 3.5mm Headset Splitter Adapter - F/M

Jeremy, actually this little widget has been fantastic for me. It supports mic and speaker output for iphone compatible headsets. Great for google phone, skype etc. And you don't need a 2nd pair of headsets. Go straight from your phone to with GTMax. My wife and I both have one for our laptops and we have another one for our desktop. Hope that helps.Greg

Hi, I've had a hard time finding a useful headset that will work with the phone and the device at the same time. Every product that I have used has not worked.

No. This is basically to take a nokia style headset connector (2.5) and adapt it to PC (3.5) connector. Audio only.
