Product Details

Clear, Focused Audio for Business Communication

The Cisco 562 Standard Headset provides full-band audio with wide bandwidth sound, low distortion and minimal signal noise. Its short acoustic path is designed to improve voice reception while delivering balanced noise reduction, helping users hear conversations more clearly.

Unlike the single-ear Cisco 561, the Cisco 562 has two ear cups. This stereo design helps users remain focused on calls and meetings by reducing the distraction created by surrounding workplace activity. It is particularly suitable for busy offices, contact centres and other environments where clear communication and concentration are important.

Wireless Freedom with DECT Technology

DECT wireless connectivity allows users to move up to 100 metres from the Standard Base while remaining connected to a call. Actual range can vary according to walls, equipment and other environmental conditions.

Employees can step away from their desks to collect information, consult a colleague or move through a nearby work area without ending the conversation. On-ear controls provide convenient access to essential call functions, helping users manage communications without returning to their phones or computers.

Simple Standard Base Connectivity

The Standard Base supports one active connection through USB or RJ9/RJ11. It can connect the headset to a compatible computer or Cisco IP phone, providing a streamlined setup for users who primarily communicate through one device.

This makes the Cisco 562 Standard Headset suitable for fixed workstations, dedicated customer-service desks and employees who do not require Bluetooth or simultaneous connections across multiple devices.

Businesses needing to connect a desk phone, computer and Bluetooth-enabled mobile device should consider the Cisco 562 Multibase Headset.

Dual-Ear Comfort for Extended Use

The Cisco 562 weighs approximately 121 grams and is designed for professionals who spend extended periods on calls. Its adjustable fit, dual multiaxial ear cups and durable construction support comfortable daily use.

The stereo design provides audio through both ears, helping users concentrate on conversations in active workplaces. It is a practical choice for employees who value greater focus and immersion over the environmental awareness provided by a mono headset.

Reliable Cisco and Webex Integration

The Cisco 562 Standard Headset is designed to integrate with compatible Cisco IP phones, Cisco desk devices, Webex applications and other Cisco collaboration solutions.

A simplified administration interface supports headset configuration and device management, helping IT teams deploy and maintain headsets across the organisation. Businesses already using Cisco communications technology can incorporate the Cisco 562 into their existing environment without introducing a separate headset ecosystem.

Training and Online Meetings

Dual-ear audio can help employees focus during virtual training, presentations and Cisco Webex Meetings, particularly when working in a shared environment.
