4.0 out of 5 stars The First Good Solution for Desktop Phone Bluetooth, January 19, 2006

First off, I'm very hard on my phones. So 4 stars from me may be 5 from other people.

The headset base has a pasthrough to your corded phone. You plug the telephone cord from your wal into the base, then another cord out from the base goes into the main phone. So, this does work with every phone.

The sound quality is good. It's on par with ost headsets, but I have heard better. If you're reasonable about your expectations for a Bluetooth headset, you'll be happily surprised with the quality.

The only problem I have is that it does sometimes take a couple tries to get the headset to kick in. I'm usually on the phone and then swith to headset, so it's not a huge deal, but it could be better.

One thing most people won't like is the size. I actually like the size of this headset vs. the small, hang off your ear headset.

Overall, this is a great first step in Bluetooth for the desk phone.

This review is from: VXI BlueParrott B100 Wireless Headset System for Corded/Cordless Phones and Bluetooth Cell Phones (Wireless Phone Accessory)

I've had this for a couple of months now, and I love it. Good points include: comfort over several hours of wear, consistently good sound on both ends and long battery life. Bad points include: headband only fits small heads and difficulty connecting the first time since the multi-function button is squirrelly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't know how I lived without it, October 16, 2007

I really don't know what I did before I had this product. Here's what you need to know:

1. It's very comfortable. I walk around my house all day with it on, and forget it's there till it rings. I can even bend over, pick stuff up, etc., and it stays in place, but is totally comfortable.

2. It works great within about 60 feet of the base. Beyond that, it gets a bit scratchy, and past 75 feet or so, it isn't really usable. But that gives me a pretty long tether.

3. The sound that comes through to me, and the sound to those I'm talking to is as clear as an old wired handset. In short, perfectly clear.

4. I've had it for 2 1/2 years now and since the day I set it up (quickly and easily), have not had any problems with it. I just wish I could dial out from it. That requires a return to the base phone.

Highly recommended for anyone who needs to move around while on the phone for long periods!
