The Polycom VVX 500 is not Bluetooth enabled.  With everything else this multimedia phone is capable of, is that a little surprising?

The HD handset sounds so great though that it’s hard to really want to use a headset.  But, keeping your hands free is necessary too and it’s even better when the headset works properly.

So, here are some 3rd party wireless solutions that are supported by your Polycom VVX 500.

  • We were previously offering a solution to use a Bluetooth headset capabilities for phones that do not have Bluetooth (Cisco, Nortel, 3Com). Basically it was a “Bluetooth headset dongle for non-Bluetooth phones” (something like Jabra A210 or Cardo BTA). Then we were using our headset adapters to convert 2.5mm audio plug into the modular plug, which users were connecting into the phone. Worked great. But both manufacturers stopped making them. And sadly no one wants ot produce them anymore.
