Obi2182
Taoman:
Anyone know of a wireless headset that works reliably with the OBi2182? And is a bluetooth headset still supported?
I'm a total noob when it comes to headsets. Any info greatly appreciated.

You're in luck, since I'm the headset nerd.
The phone supports hardwired 3.5mm analog headsets, RJ-9 hardwired or DECT 6.0 headsets, and Bluetooth headsets. Pick your poison.
Any mainstream Bluetooth headset designed for mobile phones should work. The audio quality and range aren't great, but they're inexpensive. I'd start with that.
Professional-class headsets connect to the RJ-9 headset jack on the underside of the phone. Desk workers typically use ones that are simply hardwired to an amplifier/base. The more expensive version is the DECT 6.0 headset, which will work for several hundred yards and have very high quality audio.
I use GN/Jabra DECT headsets. Here's a good article comparing DECT with Bluetooth headsets; Jabra makes both.

Plantronics Bluetooth headsets are also good, although I've had audio quality issues with them.
I have the mono version this Jabra headset attached to one of my two 2182s:

They are insanely expensive, but you can usually find them discounted. The Jabra Evolve 65 or 75 are cheaper and good enough for most applications.

Thank you for your detailed response.

I forgot to mention, that USB-attached headsets also work very well, if you don't mind a corded solution.
For example, this one is very inexpensive, with good sound quality.

I suppose any USB-attached gaming headset would also work.

I just received my OBi2182 today via FedEX. It's brand new with all the stuff in the box.
