How to Mute a Plantronics Headset

Plantronics is an electronics company that manufactures headsets that are compatible with mobile phones, computers and landlines. The headsets range in size and features, and allow users to communicate wirelessly using wireless technology such as Bluetooth. They are effective in an office environment or location where a user needs to communicate, but still needs the use of his hands. Most Plantronics headsets give users the option to mute their headsets using the volume buttons on the device. Additionally, if your headset comes with the PerSono Suite application, you can mute it from your computer.
