Easy to install, works as advertised. I hear a bit of static from time to time and it seems that the dialer function is louder than the voice. Can hear great and no one has complained that they can not hear me. There are cheaper sources for the same device from others. Unfortunately, I did not find those until after the purchase.

"You sound like you are in a tin can."

"You sound like you are in a tunnel."

"Are you using tin cans and string?"

These are comments from my clients and colleagues on the sound quality of my voice when I first started talking to them through this headset.

You can overcome the "tin can" problems by adjusting the headset. Hold the MFB (multi-function button) (the middle button) down for six seconds till you hear a beep. Then, use the + and - buttons to adjust it to the tone that is best for you and your listeners.

To overcome the echo and distortion, just move the boom further from your lips. It is wonderfully sensitive and a distance of 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inches from your lips is probably ideal. Proper ajustment of the distance of the mike from your lips will eliminate the echo and distortion.

The manufacturing quality of this set is good. The design is attractive and the materials are state of the art. The footprint is acceptable on my desk. The wireless aspect works well. There is little interference and the range is better than I thought it would be. I can talk from at least 125 feet away.

The remote lifter package is amazing. It mechanically lifts the handset on your phone out of the cradle to answer incoming calls. By remote, you can push the MFB and it will physicially lower the handset back into the cradle.

READ THE INSTRUCTIONS and this will be the solution you have been seeking for office communications mobility.

A little quirky to get the settings right, but once they are one gives crystal clear reception. In fact the reception was an improvement over the handset. Now my wife can be on concalls at home and get up and roam the house, get something to eat, or even check the mail. Great range. We bought the refurbished model for $100 and it was a great investment in her happiness... Happy wife = Happy life!

I love this headset. I have owned many and this is by far the best. I use it probably 4+ hours a day so I know headsets and I wanted a good one. This is perfect.

I bought this item new-in-box from Goodwill for $9. It's nice -- lightweight and comfortable.

A little staticy so far, and it is a somewhat hard to configure properly (there's too much functionality being pushed into three buttons -- i.e., mute, tone adjust, volume adjust, mic gain adjust).

I've used this headset daily for several years. No batter change yet and it works perfectly and it is clear and test show the folks on the other end of a call cannot tell the difference between this headset and the hand set of any excellent phone. Its PERFECT.
