Well you did not mention one other interface - a direct RJ14 connection
into a traditional telephone wireless headset such as Plantronics' CS50 or
Voyager

I am assuming you have already checked their specialized VoIP ones and did
not like it for whatever reason (such as lack of range, which would be
fair to say)
Anyways, for a traditional telephone headset to work you'd need a USB
adapter such as this gizmo here:

I would get the gizmo first, try it with your wired phone handset and only
then shell out $300+ on a solidly built but a bit expensive Plantronics
wireless headset.
Good luck!
