Plantronics Headset with 1062
SteveInWA:
Only you can decide that. Personally, I spent decades working desk jobs, in sales, project management, technical support and people management. My corded headsets saved my neck and increased my productivity, but the far better solution was a cordless headset, with either a remote handset lifter or EHS. Good ones are very expensive, but the ability to get up, walk around, stretch, go get coffee, go pull a file out of a cabinet, etc, is well worth it.

Thanks Steve, good advice. I do have BT headsets, a Plantronics in the ear and a Blue Parrot over the head styles. I went corded after finding that BT on the 1062 has some issues. It's often slow to connect or requires toggling the device to connect. And if BT is enabled but not connected the phone's display will never timeout and turn off. Apparently the little BT icon flashing is enough to keep the display alive, and that's a problem at night.

Yah, Bluetooth isn't a good solution; aside from the issues you mentioned, the audio quality is sub-par.
I was describing DECT 6.0 wireless headsets. I use the Jabra 9470, but it's the pricey "Mercedes of headsets". Jabra makes cheaper models in the 9400 line, too. Plantronics and Sennheiser also make similar products. These headsets support wideband audio, and have a far greater radio range and battery life. The sound is as good as a professional/commercial-grade corded headset.
Hello Direct is the online merchant that has the widest product range of both corded and cordless headsets; their prices may not be the lowest, but they also have excellent, knowledgeable customer support, both pre-sales and post-sales.
Anyhow, this gets into 10-20 times the price of a $15 consumer-grade corded headset; you get what you pay for.
