Product Description

SupraPlus Binaural Headset offers enhanced receive-side audio quality, intelligent flexible boom, bendable noise-canceling microphone and all-day wearing comfort. Comfortable, lightweight design includes a flexible cable, adjustable headband, foam ear cushions, and comfort T-pad. Quick call feature allows the headband to twist out of the way for convenient quick-call pickup. Convenient Quick Disconnect feature lets you walk away from your phone while still wearing your headset. Headset delivers the highest level of audio performance, even in noisy environments, heightened speech clarity and lifelike fidelity. Noise-canceling microphone filters out excessive background sound. Designed for over-the-head comfort (binaural). Compatible with Plantronics amplifiers and USB-to-headset adapters. Requires amplifier (PLN M22) (sold separately), which protects from loud noises, reduces echoes and background noise, and equalizes call volume.

5.0 out of 5 stars AWESOME - Comfortable - Clear, February 27, 2009

I bought this headset through my call center - provide tech support for a major ISP - 12 years. The Plantronics H261N is much More Comfortable than any monaural headset I've used. Because it's Binaural, you can change positions and alternate ears during a long day on the phone. About the Other reviewer's Comment - Needed to Adjust the Mic Closer To Mouth - Sure, JUST LIKE ANY HEADSET MIC that's Noise Cancelling! My regular customers commented on how much more CLEAR I sound compared to the previous headset. Regardless of what stores tell you, MSRP is actually $94.99 (Not Over $100.00 advertised some places) and they can be had for less than $70.00 Retail - Dealer Cost is about $45.00 plus Shipping for one - a little less for more.

The ad for these plantronics headphones is totally deceptive - you MUST buy the expensive adapters either for USB, your cordless or regular desk phone. Each of these three items is separate even though they are all "quick release". Buyer beware! You can't use these headphones without these adapters.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a bad choice, September 23, 2008

Function very well as described except the volumne is kind of low, I need to 'twist' or bend a little of the microphone in order to have lounder, clearer volumn on the other end. You also need to speak a bit lounder than usual. Otherwise, the receiving end will have a very weak, low voice volumn. The headset itself is very comfortable. Note: you need to purchase the amp adaptor to connect to a regular corded phone.
