I know nothing about how headsets work with 8x8. 

I'm assuming a USB headset is better with the 8x8 work app as opposed to one plugged into their handset.  I just need to know which models will allow the user to answer a call by pressing a button on the headset.

The users would be walking around or at a copy machine when a call comes in. They want to be able to press a button on their headset and answer the call instead of running back to their desk to pickup the call.  The user doesn't want to use the 8x8 app on their cell phone.

Hi, WInston:

If you're talking 8x8 Work running on WIndows, any headset that will work with WIndows will work in 8x8. That said, if the users will be walking around, though, forget USB; focus instead on (wireless) Bluetooth. We've had success with the Poly Plantronics Voyager 5200 UC Headsets. If the phone rings, the user at the copier can just tap a button on the earpiece, and is on the call.

Best of luck finding what works for your folks!
