Seconded - I've clients with the Plantronics CS60 and CS70's with the 
HL10's on a combination of Snom and Grandstream GXP2000 desk phones. A bit 
extra desk spaghetti, but they think it's worth it...

Plantronics also have a USB cordless headset too - for use with a 
soft-phone (although I'm not sure how it sends the 'answer' signal back to 
the PC/softphone)

Another client of mine uses Siemens DECT phones with a wired headset to 
the phone (standard 2.5mm jack - so most mobile headsets work) clip the 
phone to their belt (or put it in their pocket) and off they go.. It's a 
cheaper solution to the Plantronics at the expense of a bit of fiddle 
factor...
