2.0 out of 5 stars Good electronics, lousy ergonomics..., July 27, 2010

This review is from: Plantronics Savi Office WO100 Convertible Wireless Headset DECT 6.0 (Wireless Phone Accessory)

My office bought this headset for me (from amazon) so I could use it with both their VOIP software as well as with my desk phone. I had been a long term (more than 5 years) Plantronics CS50 900 MHz Wireless Office Headset System user who really liked the comfort and capabilities of the CS50, though my battery was starting to be short lived -- it was down to about 3 hours after 5 years of use).

The good:

* Setup was easy on both the desk phone and the computer.
* Sound quality is great
* Unit works at least twice as far as the CS50 (sometimes I roam around outside the house while on a call)
* Battery life is great (more than 6 hours, though I am guessing that's somewhat related to how far you are away from the device).

The bad:

* Over the head band won't stay on my head unless I keep my head perfectly level (if I look down at something on my desk, it falls forward -- even when I have made the band tight to the point of being uncomfortable). I think this is because there is no friction between the headband and the earpiece -- if you hold the headset by the band, the earpiece swings freely).
* Mute operation sucks -- instead of a single quick on/off button, you have to hold the volume down button for a period of time (about 1.5 second - which sounds quick, but when you've already forgotten that you're on mute and nobody's hearing what you're saying and when you prematurely release the button sometimes, the others on your call start to think you've been dropped).
* As some others have noted, the earpiece picks up noise any time it comes anywhere near your face and when you try to adjust it in the headband, it usually pops out and you're trying to put it back together in the middle of a call.
* The earbud model of the earpiece is uncomfortable on long calls. The on the ear cushion model of the CS50 was much more comfortable on those multi-hour conference calls.

I much prefer the design, comfort and utility of the headset on the CS50 than I do the headset of this unit and wish there was an option to get the same headset for this base. I feel that way strongly enough that I'm leaning towards using the CS50 for desk calls (the majority of my calls) and only using the Savi for VOIP calls which would be a waste of the product.

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost... but not quite, February 3, 2010

This review is from: Plantronics Savi Office WO100 Convertible Wireless Headset DECT 6.0 (Wireless Phone Accessory)

I have been using this product almost every day for the past 6 months. Sound quality is excellent and it is really easy to use. I love the ability to easily switch from Computer VOIP to regular phone and even to conference between them. I also love the freedom it gives me to roam around the office. The sound quality is really good even at very long distances from the base (at least 100 ft).

Here is what I don't like. The earpiece is not that comfortable. It is not as bad as the other reviewer suggested, but I certainly don't "love" it. Could be MUCH better. The other problem I have is the fact that when the earpiece is in the cradle, the battery on the earpiece starts draining as soon as it finishes charging. In day-to-day use this is not a problem, but after coming back to the office from a 1 week business trip, the device will not work until I recharge the earpiece... Not a major problem but very unexpected.

This is a great headset I have several blue tooth head sets for my computer, with marginal success. I wanted to get a wireless head set that I could use with my computer that would work well with skype and Voice over IP services. This head set works great, and has a fabulous range, way better than anything blue tooth. It is a little expensive, but worth it.
