5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing clarity, better than all other Panasonics, November 4, 2004

This review is from: Panasonic KX-TCA88HA Lightweight Hearing-Aid compatible cordless phone headset (Office Product)
I picked up the KX-TCA88HA about three years ago from a big-box electronics store, and I have been very pleased with it. The sound quality is tremendous, and other headsets I've used have been susceptible to some interference, but not this one. I have used it with a GE multi-line home office phone, and the Motorola MD600 series 5.8 ghz handsets seamlessly.

A note about the "hearing aid compatible". I do not have problems hearing, and I was actually surprised to learn that this model is made specifically for hearing aids, which could explain the great clarity for non-hearing aid users, and the higher price over the 900mhz KX-TCA60, which has been recommended on Amazon. Based on appearance, it could be identical to the TCA60, save for the 2.4ghz vs. 900mhz ratings.

Pros:

Superb sound, clarity, and the folks on the other end of the line agree as well (noise reducing microphone). The headset itself is very comfortable and easily adjustable - good for many, many hours of continuous use. Lightweight and breathe-able, unlike other headset earmuffs that "cook" your ear on long calls. I telecommute, and this headset has been a champ.

Cons:

I have not been able to get it to work with my Motorola T-720 cell phone. Perhaps that's an incompatibility that the KX-TCA60 handles well. I'm quite comfortable with an earbud in the car, so no worries there. Also, as mentioned in other Panasonic reviews, the adjustable plastic sizing slide on the headband is weak, and is what broke after 3 years of regular use, which led me to this page.

Wish List: If this had an "on board" mute and volume control on the wire, it would have been the best headset ever. Still, it gets 5 stars from me. It sets the standard for comfort and clarity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best headset I've ever used, May 4, 2005
By 
This review is from: Panasonic KX-TCA88HA Lightweight Hearing-Aid compatible cordless phone headset (Office Product)
I've used headsets from Plantronics in the past (expensive ones) so I was a little skeptical about this "cheap" set but I have found it to be durable, comfortable and very good at audio reproduction. I am not hearing impaired but you don't need to be to use these, they are just optimized for those who are. I have worn it for several hours at a time when making numerous business calls one after the other. Unlike some headsets, these do not make your ear "hot" with extended wear and do not become uncomfortable. It would be nice if they had a volume slider in the cord and maybe a mute button, but for the money - they can't be beat! Order a set today, you'll be happy you did.

I bought two of these headsets, and am glad I did. They work great and I received them in a timely manner. I would deffinately buy from them again.
