Hard to keep on your ear and then adjust mouthpiece. Not very loud even with volume turned all the way up. Caller on other end detects a funny background noise.

I wanted to disagree with the other reviewers on this headset. Maybe I just got a good one, but the one I've had for the last 4 years has been one of the most reliable and best headsets I've ever used. I know other people who in that same time have used and destroyed 8 other headsets (average of 2 per year) and mine still works as well as the day I bought it.

I use it at least 2 hours a day with a Panasonic cordless phone (a coincidence, I had been using Jensen headsets before I bought this one). During this time, I've dropped the phone so many times I've stopped counting, each time resulting in the headset being yanked out of the phone.

Are there issues, yes. It's a bit too quiet for my tastes and I could see how it would be a bit hard to adjust for height. I'm lucky, the boom hits in just the right place and no one has ever complained.

Comfort and sound quality were excellent. Mute button and volume dial on the cord were very convenient and always worked. I never heard buzzing in the background, and if volume was ever an issue, all I had to do was turn up volume on the cordless phone it was plugged into.

I used this very heavily, often for hours per day, on virtually every business day for 3+ years. Just today, it broke. But to get 3+ years of service out of something like this, I'm very impressed. Easily worth the price.

The sound quality is more than adequate.
They are so lightweight that I'm afraid I'm going to break it sometimes. Well, actually, I broke the mic arm off one of them before I realized that they couldn't be adjusted (bent). A little superglue and it was fine. Still, they won't hold up for very long without being careful and not letting your teensagers use them.

I am using this headset with the Panasonic phone model KX-TGA931T, which is an otherwise great phone, except the volume remains rather high even at the lowest setting when when used pressed against the ear. With this headset, I have better control of the sound, even down to mute using the inline volume control. The only thing that I do not like about it is that it feels tight when pressed against my ear.

Bought a couple more of these. We use them for tech suport over the phone with a headset. Works like a charm and our developer is picky so it meets his needs...

I bought this unit in order to be able to make hands free phone calls for service calls to automatic answering machines: the type where you have to go through six layers of answers before you can choose a live person to talk to. However, the part that holds the receiver to your ear does not fit either my or my wifes ear so I will sent it back.

Low price, sounds good but not a comfortable fit. The headset just dangles off the earlope and does not feel secure.

I should have believed the other reviewers who reported problems with volume. This headset just isn't loud enough (and I have normal hearing). With the phone volume set to maximum, and the headset volume control set to maximum, it was just barely loud enough--actually, slightly less than loud enough. I liked other aspects of the item, but a telephone headset you can't hear is useless. Maybe it will work with other phones (mine is a Panasonic cordless), but it certainly didn't work for me.

It doesn't matter how inexpensive this headset is - it's useless at any price. I wish I could give it 0 stars. The ear loop has no adjustment, can't be flexed and is actually painful to put around your ear. I don't know how anyone could wear it. The mute button is exactly that - a momentary contact button. You have to hold it to stay muted! (see my picture). I don't know how it sounds because there was no point trying it on a call. It's going back...
