The user guide states that a full charge takes 3 hours but I haven’t used it enough to be able to say how good the battery life is. This is the 510R model, although I’m not sure what the difference is between the 510 and 510R, the 510R is £1.13 more expensive.Ĭall quality seems to be good and both on the Mac and iPhone, the headset goes into standby mode when not in use. It came with the charger and also a free car charger, although I didn’t need it.
#Best skype headset for mac mac os x
The Plantronics Voyager 510 Bluetooth Headset works with Skype on Mac OS X and with regular calls on the iPhone. I eventually found an old blog post recommending a particular headset and decided to just buy it. There was no real consensus over which headset to use and whether it worked properly with Skype on Mac. I did some research on the topic and found a lot of confusing or outdated posts about certain headsets working and some not. As such, I wanted to get a bluetooth headset I could wear throughout the day which would allow me to very quickly answer calls. With an incoming call, the customer has rung off before I have time to connect it back up again. However, I do not have any spare USB ports so can’t keep it plugged in. This means I can listen to music and then when a call comes in, Skype will pause iTunes and I can immediately use the USB headset to talk.
USB is better than using the line in / mic because it shows up as another device properly and allows you to route just calls to it, whilst keeping the main Mac speakers working fine. Skype works well on Mac and I have a USB headset already. This allows “free” UK calls (with a subscription) and very cheap international calls, as well as making it easy for customers to call in. Although I have used more elaborate PBXs before, as a startup, the cheapest and easiest way to handle customer calls is through Skype. We will soon be announcing details of the phone support we’ll be offering to all customers of our server monitoring application, Server Density, and so I have been looking at options for handling calls.
