Earlier this week I confirmed that the Voyager Pro HD and BT300 combination successfully deliver
wideband audio to the VVX-500. I’ll soon describe my little experiment
in a new post.

100% agree with the direction of your argument about EHS cables. The VVX500′s native BT support was one of the main reasons we went with it.

We are currently using the Voyager Pro UC v2 and bundled dongle and consider it a practical solution that covers both n and out of office scenarios quite well.
Plantronics told me that used as a pair you get wideband audio, but I’ve no objective way of testing that, other than favourable comments from the participant at the other end of the call.

Interested to see how you get on with the Voyager Pro HD? I could never get a clear answer out of Plantronics as to whether or not wideband audio was possible with the HD and BT300

Don,

I don’t recall trying the VVX-500 and Savi Go.

The truth is that from the time I started using the DWPro2 (http://www.mgraves.org/2011/12/review-sennheiser-dw-pro2-cordless-headset/) around the office I wasn’t using the Savi Go, so I gifted it to a coworker. He uses it with the MDA-200 switch, an IP650 and Skype on his PC.

Here are the details about that setup.

Just curious. By any chance have you tried the Savi Go headset with the VVX-500? One of the few disappointments I have with my Polycom 560, and many other desk phones, is the inability to have a clean wideband BT connection.
