#headset #RJ

Short for “Registered Jack,” this headset uses an RJ cable to connect to a desk phone’s docking station. In other words, it’s a great replacement for the traditional telephone handset! Remember: the 2 key connectors to keep in mind on headsets are RJ9 and RJ11!

Direct Connect: Designed specifically for business telephone communications.

Excellent audio quality: Provides clear and precise sound quality for phone calls.

Where to use it?

Call Center: Essential for those who spend all day on the phone.

Traditional office: Perfect for this environment, where there are infinite numbers of phone calls.

QD connectivity does not originally exist on any device, fixed or mobile... In fact, a QD cable is divided into 2 modular parts: one attached to your headset, and the other connected to your computer, telephone or mobile device depending on the tip you have chosen.

Flexibility: Quickly disconnect from your device without removing the headset.

Wide Compatibility: Usable with a wide variety of media via specific adapters.
