Before choosing a Yealink compatible headset, you need to determine if you want a wired or wireless model.
Now that Yealink has released their own line of headsets, you'll get easy to use, high quality, cost effective and play solutions to choose from.
In the past, if you ordered a Jabra or Poly (Plantronics) wireless headset, you were required to also purchase an additional adapter called an EHS cable or Lifter.
Without this accessory, if you're away from the phone, you will have to run back to the phone to answer an incoming call.
Over the years this has created a lot of frustration for customers wanting a compatible wireless headset for their Yealink phones to answer/end calls away from the phone.
Being that Yealink has released their own wireless headsets to go with their desk phones, this additional accessory isn't required any longer. Out of the box, you will get the ability to answer/end calls from the headset when away from the phone.
If you still prefer a Poly or Jabra wireless headset then the additional EHS36 or EHS40 adapter would be required.

Would you prefer a compatible Yealink wired headset?
If you like the idea of being hands free to be more productive, and save your neck and back, then a wired headset isn't well worth the investment. Sometimes wireless isn't in the budget, and that's okay.
In the past, you would have to buy the headset + a compatible cable together. This created a lot of confusion on which cord to purchase with the headset, or the information online didn't clearly say the headset needed an additional cable.
So, as you can imagine, that could cause a frustrating experience.
The good news is with the newer Yealink desk phones, they have USB compatible headset ports.
The same Yealink desk phones listed in the beginning of this blog will also be compatible with the wired headsets listed below.

Consider adding the Yealink BLT60 Busy Light
Looking at the image above, you'll see the Yealink BLT60 busy light is attached to the models monitor. So, when you're on an active call, the busy light will illuminate red letting others know not to disturb. When you're done with the call it will turn back to green so people around you know it's okay to talk to you.
Yealink headset compatibility with older generation Yealink desk phones
The Yealink wired and wireless headsets mentioned above aren't compatible with the models below. We'll share more information to which compatible headsets you'll want to consider for either of these phones.
- T40G, T41P, T42G, T46G, T48G, T23G, T19P, T21P, T29G
When selecting a wired headset, you'll need the headset + compatible cable.
For a wireless headset, if you want the ability to answer/end calls away from your phone with the headset, you'll need an accessory called a Handset Lifter in order to enable this feature.
Otherwise, if you don't have this accessory and you're in the other room with an incoming call, you'll need to run back to the phone to answer the call.
Most customers that order a wireless headset end up contacting us shortly after their order arrives to order the accessory.
So, save yourself some time and order the accessory to go with whichever wireless headset you choose.
That being said, let's get into the compatible yealink headset options.
Wired headsets
Depending on the wearing style you like best will determine which model you want to select. Each model below will be a high quality, cost effective and compatible headset choice to consider.

Wireless Headsets
In case you're skimming through this article and missed what I said earlier, I'll say it again. Either wireless headset you choose below, you'll need an additional accessory to go with your order.
ONLY IF you want the ability to answer/end calls away from the phone with your headset when in another room.
WITHOUT the additional accessory, if there's an incoming call you'll have to run back to the phone to answer the call. If you're okay with that then you won't need the additional Handset Lifter accessory.
#1 Discover Adapt 30 + DHL110
Best for those of you who like the idea of having one wireless headset that can switch between a single and dual speaker wearing style. You'll be able to connect with the Yealink phones mentioned above as well + your computer for anything relating to video calls or personal use.
#2 Plantronics CS540 + HL10
Most customers we work with who choose the CS540 go with the certified refurbished option for the cost savings, same 1 year warranty and like new quality. The CS540 is great for those of you who prefer the most sleek earpiece style compatible with your Yealink desk phone.
#3 Discover D904 + DHL110
The Discover D904 is a best value and flexible wireless headset. Meaning, you'll be able to connect with both your Yealink phone + computer, and included is two batteries for unlimited battery talk time. One battery charges at all times, so when one runs low, you easily swap in the battery with a full charge.
The D904 is perfect for those who are heavy phone users and want peace of mind to know they will never worry being without their headset because of a battery needing to recharge.
Also, included is your choice of a headband and 3 ear hooks. So, whoever gets the D904 will be able to customize the fit best for them.

I also have a planatronics head set, i tried hooking up too my yearlink, however it tells me to check phone cord, would an adapter fix the issue?
