## Description

Plantronics BT600 Network Adapter

Review: Works Great On Linux - As a Linux user you always have to be mindful of compatibility and whether it will require significant work and hacks to function. You are wasting your time if you attempt to connect a plantronics headset to Linux. This dongle is perfect and works out of the box. The color coded bands really help while lecturing my class on Zoom. It even changes color when earpiece is on mute. It is expensive, but nothing else will work as well. Also, the charging case has a slot for the dongle. Excellent design.
Review: Saved my plantronics headset - Wasted hours trying to get a Plantronics Backbeat Sense headset working on my windows 7 laptop. My laptop DOES support bluetooth audio & headset profiles, but the Plantronics headset did not work with it, presumably because of lousy drivers. I finally got this device and it made the headset work perfectly the minute I installed this. In addition to finally making the headset "just work", it has a nice light. - The light is blue when the headset is on, so it's easy to see if you forgot to turn off the headset (and it's not near your PC). - The light is red when you have muted your mic in the headset during a call. That light is surprisingly helpful. Basically with this dongle sitting in your laptop, the headset communicates with the bluetooth radios inside this dongle rather than with the radios inside the laptop. It has good range - I can walk 2-3 rooms away around corners and still get reception, and as far as I can tell does not interfere with anything despite other bluetooth/wifi devices in the house. Would have returned the headset if not for this.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is there a difference between using the native bluetooth adaptor on my PC and using the dongle?**
A: I've done a lot of research on this. The short answer is that you will likely have a better experience if you use this USB adapter instead of your laptop's integrated Bluetooth. 

The longer answer is that if you use your integrated Bluetooth, you may or may not experience the following issues: Mute button not working with zoom and other meeting services; volume buttons not working properly; audio quality issues. Weather you have these issues or not is dependent on the characteristics of your computer's integrated Bluetooth. I had these issues with both an LG Gram and an Acer Swift 5 running Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Why would using this Bluetooth adapter make a difference? My understanding is that it supports a Bluetooth profile that is optimized for making calls on your computer. That actual reason may be different. Whatever the reason, once I started using this BT dongle with my LG gram and Acer Swift laptops, all the buttons on my Poly V5200 started working with Zoom.

**Q: Lost the dongle for my Plantronics Voyager Focus, will this work as a replacement?**
A: Plantronics states that the BT-600 "works with: Voyager 5200 UC Bluetooth Headset System, Voyager 8200 UC Stereo Bluetooth Headset, Voyager 3200 UC Discreet Bluetooth Headset System"; but they don't mention the Plantronics headphones that I am using with the BT-600 (PN: 205250-01).  In short, your chances are *pretty good* that it will work with the Plantronics Voyager Focus, but there are no guarantees that it will.

Before making the purchase on nothing but chance, you might want to contact the customer service or customer support department at Plantronics and put the question to them directly.

**Q: I work on my computer many hours each day and have multiple plantronics 5200s. how many can i pair to one of these bt600 adapters?**
A: Hello! In order to pair a Voyager 5200 with a BT600 you'll need to set both units in pairing mode. To do so: Connect the BT600 via USB to your computer, then press and hold the little button on the side until the LED flashes red and blue repeatedly. Afterwords power on your earpiece, then press and hold the call button (located on the back of the microphone, it is a black button) until the indicator light on the earpiece flashes red and blue repeatedly. Finally wait until the light on the BT600 turns solid blue which means your unit is paired. Feel free to contact our Customer Care Team at: 800-985-9815 if you require further assistance.

**Q: Will this work if i use a usb dongle with it?  i am trying to extend the range by moving this higher up from my desktop on floor.**
A: If by usb dongle you mean a usb hub, then yes, that's what i do.

*by A***L on April 30, 2018*

I purchased this li'l device ahead of receiving a set of Plantronics BackBeat PRO 2 Special Edition wireless headphones that I finally pulled the trigger on. It sat in my desk drawer, waiting for the headphones to arrive, while I set up my computer with a number of sound output options and bluetooth adapters to test the headphones with, once they got here (integrated motherboard sound, USB soundcard, PCIe sound card, and several types of analog input bluetooth transmitters). D-Day arrived, and I charged the headphones, and used a 26.5 minute .flac file for the musical selection to test-out direct connections to each different sound hardware output that I had configured on my machine. Good sound--darned good--particularly in rounding-out the low-end of the audio spectrum. The headphones are definite keepers. The sound processors that I have configured with this computer all produced very good sound, and the stack ranking falls out with the PCIe card leading the pack, and the USB sound card coming in just about neck-and-neck with the motherboard integrated sound; with the nod going to the USB sound card, which is 5 years newer than the sound hardware on the motherboard. With my baseline established, it's onward to the testing of the various means of routing sound through some bluetooth audio transmitters... I disabled my motherboard sound hardware in BIOS setup, and bootstrapped the OS (Debian Linux 9.4), then plugged the BT-600 into a rear USB 3.0 connector. After logging-in, I found the BT-600 detected by the OS as "Plantronics BT600 Analog Stereo". 'LSUSB -v' delivers more information than most folks want, but I saw what I wanted to see at Bus 010 Device 005: ID 047f:02f7: Debian was more than well acquainted with the device, and knows what to do with it. Suffice it to say that it is detected as a USB-connected soundcard, and the bluetooth interface is external to the OS entirely--your bluetooth receivers are the only things that have to worry about listening to what comes out of the soundcard. I skipped testing against the motherboard sound hardware, as well as the USB soundcard, and stuck with using the PCIe soundcard, routed through the various bluetooth transmitters that I had lined-up for comparison. This made it easy for me because, all I had to do was to pair the headphones with one transmitter, then with the BT-600, and switch between the two in my Master Channel Selection pane. I went through all 8 devices (7 bluetooth transmitters plus the BT-600) and was surprised to find that the BT-600, talking to the Plantronics headphones, was nearly on par with a direct connection between the PCIe soundcard and the headphones, and blew every one of the bluetooth audio transmitters that I tested it against out of the water. The .flac that I used for testing / comparison is a very full-range composition that contains melodic vocal performances in Sanskrit. Poor performance from audio hardware usually means that the nuances of the language are lost. In such cases, it's easy to mistake the exact pronunciation of the words in the performance. With this device, I am pleasantly surprised to find that all aspects of the sung words are perfectly reproduced, leaving no mistake as to the content of the performance. I honestly am VERY impressed with this little thing, and will be getting more to pop into the other computers that I use on a daily basis. Now, the BT-600 is not supplied with the specific headphones I purchased (Plantronics BackBeat PRO 2 Special Edition) but functions exactly as it is supposed to, offering red, blue and violet indicators, as appropriate to the mode of operation at any instant. For those wishing to obtain additional documentation on this product, you may want to visit the Plantronics website and search up the Getting Started guide for this product (Amazon won't permit me to post the link to help you out finding it, but it does exist).
