Plantronics Launches RIG Headset + Mixer for Gamers

I had a wireless Plantronics headset about a year and a half ago. They arent good, but they arent terrible. Generally well rounded, and quite comfy, but very basic. Mic was pretty average, but it didnt have any gremlins in it.
They're usually made of very cheap quality materials.

 

Connecting legacy Plantronics headsets to a Windows 10 machine

Headset Tip.

This tip is for people with the following Starting Situation:

• You have an older ("legacy") Plantronics headset, such as an "H-series" Plantronics SupraPlus HW251.
  
• You have a two-piece rig: (1) the headset, which terminates in a Plantronics-style "quick disconnect" connection, and (2) an adapter cable with a quick-disconnect attachment at one end and (probably) a 2.5 mm jack at the other end.
  
• Historically, you connected your headset rig directly into a desk phone.

Goal:

You desire to use this headset with your Win 10 machine (in my case it was a Surface 3 machine running Win 10) in order to make Skype calls.

Tempting, but incorrect resolution:

• Plantronics makes a wide variety of adapters, one of which is a Quick Disconnect to 3.5 mm jack adapter. It is tempting to purchase this (relatively) inexpensive adapter, swap in the new 3.5 mm jack adapter in lieu of the existing 2.5mm jack adapter, and
  just plug in your "upgraded" headset rig into the 3.5 mm jack on your machine.
• This approach will fail.

Correct resolution:

• First, you must be willing and able to allocate 1 USB port on your machine and about $70 to solve this headset connection problem.
  
• Second, determine through web research exactly which Plantronics headset model you have.
• Third, call Plantronics customer support, which at this writing is 1-855-765-7878. Be surprised that a real person answers the phone and is helpful. Ask the Plantronics customer support person which "DA" adapter unit is compatible with the specific model
  of Plantronics headset that you have. The DA adapter has a Quick Disconnect at one end, a USB at the other end, and some electronics in between. Note that Plantronics developed more than 1 DA adapter unit, and the legacy headset to DA unit compatibility
  information is not on their website. Plantronics customer service can figure it out, though.
  
• Forth, order the DA unit recommended by the Plantronics rep. You will order the DA adapter from a third party reseller.
• Fifth, receive the part, connect it up, and test it out. Win 10 recognizes the DA adapter, your headset works as it should, and problem solved.
