Is it possible to switch modes (PC/Phone) Remotely on a Sennheiser wireless headset?

Updated by Hayden Everly on Mar 1, 2024

Yes. (but you need a lifter or EHS Cable)

Sennheiser OfficeRunner base and headset PC and phone mode

This means if you are in computer mode listening to music, and a phone call comes in on your telephone you can answer it from the headset.

On hearing the ring tone (a lower-pitched tone) in the headset simply push the Hook/Call Control button and the base will switch modes and answer the call. Once you end the call the headset will return to PC mode.

It does not work correctly without the ring detection, it will not work without the lifer or EHS Cable.



Time for a new headset?

Many OfficeRunner users have switched to the Leitner LH270!
