Can you use an alternative headset with this rather than the in the ear. I find them uncomfortable over time and like to be able to switch how I wear

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

Pamela, probably not. While not an uncomfortable headset it is rather formfitting in design. There is not a lot of room behind the ear. Hope you find something.

you can but it is very low audio. i recommend anything other than this headset such as astro, etc.

I have tried with mic om either side and sound is the same. I preferably wear mic in my left ear. I don't think it really matter, its just preference.

I believe in my personal experience is to provide better quality of sound. My EarPods are great and working wonderfully, the pointing at you is the main speaker that feeds you most of the music. Try it out, I was spekitcal and switching too, but I tried it and now I probably wouldn't go back because the pervious ones I had would always hank on my ears when trying to pull them now quickly and these just flow out. You know what I mean. I hope this was helpful and enjoy if you do decide to change EarPods.

I wear the headset over my ear with glasses. It is comfortable, but it did take some getting used to. Definitely leave on the foam sleeve that comes on the over the ear piece. I haven't tried it without it, but other reviews complain about the hard plastic. I'm sure it would be more bothersome to wear the ear piece with glasses, without the foam sleeve.

I personally can't get them to be comfortable in my ears to begin with. If you don't mind things being inserted into your ears, i'm sure they would be fine. I find that they do not stay around my ears very well. I love the concept of them, but I am finding it difficult to use them for this reason. I will say the sound quality is great, and i've used them while on the phone and all the people i've spoken to said that they can hear me perfectly and never would have known that I was on a headset and not speaking directly into the phon.

Thats a personal preference question. Could it be done? Yes. Would I find it comfortable personally, no. I think they would be too large, however, I've seen people working out with large headphones on so its a personal preference.

Yes it can but you would have to make a decision if you wanted to use it with your headset or your speakers. If you want to use it with both, you will have to rewire it every time you change.

You can easily switch sides. I sometimes switch during a call to give my ear a rest. The Plantronics web site has the user guides with images showing how to set up and switch sides.

I am afraid as others, I have had compatibility issues. There is a narrow list of headsets that are compatible, which I found out after I purchased the item. There is an even narrower compatibility with wireless headsets. I would do what I failed to do before I purchased the item, contact Plantronics support and asked them about your headset directly. They will be happy to give you an answer. The advertising is very vague about compatibility and you cannot find a list of compatible headsets on their website. However, their customer service department as well aware of what headsets will work and will not work. Thanks!

YES YOU CAN! Go to settings, accessories and devices, the controller you are signed into, and audio. you can adjust headset sound and VOICE MONITORING there!

Your best bet is to find an app that does that. don't rely on the headset it self to do it.. or you will be disappointed

I had the same problem and found that there are some little dials you can set for mike and headset. While it is still a little softer than I would like, that basically solved the problem.

Yes you can, also another headset too. I havent yet but that was the purpose of me getting this phone

My surround sound was pretty crappy with my headset....It sits nice on my head, only hurting if I'm wearing glasses, or playing for like 2-3+ hours.

My husband replaced the ear piece with a headset from radio shack but he said that the ear piece fit alright and stayed in. He just preferred a headset.
