Hey team - Only new, but you all look like might be able to help me!
I am trying to update a phone/headset/RT system for our dispatch office at the moment. We are using internet VOIP polycom phones, and old Plantronics CS60 headsets, all paired into an analog RT system (but its using a galaxy tablet as the faceplate interface). Everything comes to a central switch box at each desk.
The Logic Energy switch box has an RJ9 input from the phone, an RJ11 input for the RT, a footswitch 3.5mm jack for a PTT button, a 3.5mm jack for an external speaker, and RJ9 OUT for the plantronics…
What I need to do is do away with the wireless CS60 plantronics headsets, and replace that with a new modern bluetooth system (like headphones, bose, sony etc etc that you would pair with your mobile phone).
Our Plantronics headsets work well at the moment, but they are dated, batteries are failing, getting harder to replace… and we really need some noise cancellation for our dispatchers…
Im picking i need to somehow keep an exsisting ‘central point’ on the desk, and then find a way to bluetooth RX and TX to headphones/headsets…
Our company is going to buy individual headsets for the team (bluetooth), but if our team want to use their own (like i have the Sony MDR1000x). I’m leaning towards a Plantronics Legend CS headset as a generic for the team.
Any ideas or input on how to get from the current switch box to a BT RX/TX headphone setup while still using the phone and RT would be brilliant… I understand its pushing boundaries… but growing is good! Cheers team!

Plantronics Fit 3150, the best wireless earphones you can buy. Review in comments
Wow what an earphone, im one of those that has been reluctant all these years to fully make the switch from corded earphones to wireless. Doesnt mean i havent had my fair share of wireless phones, some of them including the Bose Soundsport free, New Galaxy Buds, Beats Pro listed from best sound to worst. I have also listened to Airpods (good) and Airpods pro (not so good) extensively as my coworker owns both and has lent them to me.
My background is not the most extensive in the high end spectrum of the headphone world, but i did start this hobbie when the se530 and westone 3 was the most expensive money could buy ( dont get me started on how ridiculous the market has gotten). I got started with the Klipsch s4 and Etymotic Hf3, both very popular at the time and both of them still very competent earphones today. I loved the hobbie from that day. I evolved into liking earphones better as opposed to iems due to spacial awareness but thats another topic.
So, to the Plantronics. There is two models, the 3150 and 3200, the difference here is that the latter is an earbud style, and the former is in-ear bud style. I like that they give you the option of allowing ambient noise in or not. it comes in a very sporty package and a colorway that is not very fitting to my liking, all thus alluding to no good sound in my experience (blueant), that and a failed attempt with their introductory model the 3100 doesnt really seem like the way to go, but you would be missing out on what i think is the best earphone i have tried. It has rubber hooks, the housing is neither overly big or small, just right for the claimed 8 hours of runtime (plus an extra 16 in the case). Regardless of the look the comfort is really second to none, you forget you have them on. It housings you get a massive 13.5mm dynamic driver that just produces quality audio, you would forget you are listening to wireless fitness earphones. I am using the bright eq setting on the app which produces a neutral sound signature with good clean thumping bass. The highlight of these is the imaging and instrument separation, huge soundstage. on the Normal eq it becomes more intimate and vocals take 3 steps forwards and bass goes up a notch.
TLDR Awesome soundtage and bass on the bright setting (not really bright). Super comfortable that you forget they are in your ear. Two versions 3150 (earbuds) 3200 (in ear bud)

I came across https://www.hqtelecom.com/bluetoothadapter - which I would expect I could swap our CS60 Base unit out for. Both RJ inputs, and then use any form of BT headset/headphones? My company is on a bit of a capital freeze, and so trying to figure out the best way forward without massive expenditure, while still maintaining usability/upgradeability/low cost… If there was another BT transceiver that takes the RJ9/RJ11 that would work, i’d be all over it like a rash. The CS Legend doesnt have to be the ‘solution’ headset, it was just an idea.
