We purchased 2 of these (cs500xd) to try on our phone system. We're a small outfit with just 4 office staff and we dispatch maintenance requests to over 1,000 doors (entities, properties, etc). We've purchased a few replacement batteries for both of the cs500xd units and oddly they keep going bad after about 1 and a half to 2 months of use (8.5 hrs a day 5 days a week). The headsets are kept charged, etc. I would recommend NOT using this product due to this.

Bad batteries

My CS50, (over the head one ear) I wore it five days a week for 10 hours a day... after years of service the battery would not hold a charge for very long. The new CS500XD is heavier and bulkier. The pressure from the padded ear piece is very tight...if you wear glasses, the pressure is distributed to the nose piece.Taking the glasses on and off while wearing the headset is almost impossible. I just wear reading and computer glasses. My job is up and down, all over the office, interacting with people.  Ear padding limits your hearing for interaction.  The CS50 sat away, never really touching  the ear and I could hear perfectly.  I wish I could send it back but after reviewing the product line, I could not see anything else that I would like.

The sound is clear

This is the second headset I have purchased from Plantronics, the first one lasted 9 years. As an Information Technology Executive Recruiter, I live on the phone, so clarity, battery charge, and mobility are very important for me and the CS500 has been great!
