We have done this and there is no response from the microphone or no response when audio is played.

Could you please let us know the soft phone that you are using with the headset?

This is for Zoom phone, but the macbook itself does not work with the headset.

Could you please try it with a different Macbook and also a Windows PC to check if the headset is working?
