OK, that really wasn't clear from your first posting. The problem is
that you try to run two SIP 'clients' on the same machine, sjphone and
asterisk, and both try to bind to port 5060 for that reason. It has
literally nothing to do with your headset/phone.

I you want asterisk to take SIP calls, you can't really run sjphone on
the same machine. * itself however can act like a softphone via chan_oss
or chan_alsa, so you might want to look into this (* wiki) and just drop
sjphone.

If asterisk doesn't need to take SIP calls, just disable chan_sip
loading and sjphone should have no problems running.
