Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The Plantronics CS55/HL10 DECT 6.0 Digital Wireless Office Headset Bundle combines the clarity of traditional corded technology with the mobility of wireless technology, a feature that allows employees to move around the office to wherever business takes them without interrupting or missing a call. With advanced 1.9GHz UPCS voice-dedicated wireless technology, the CS55 provides users with a wireless range of up to 300 feet. the unit's built-in battery (which charges in as little as three hours) provides a convenient 10 hours of wireless talk time. Other great features include one-touch control over call answer/end, volume, and mute functions, and a noise canceling microphone that filters out unwanted background noise. Included with the headset are interchangeable ear loops and a headband for customizable comfort. And because this system employs advanced DECT 6.0 wireless technology, it won't interfere with or be affected by local WiFi networks. Included with this bundle is the Plantronics HL10 handset lifter, which automatically lifts the handset and returns it to the cradle for convenient remote call answer/end capability (the HL10 lifts up and replaces the handset so you don't have to be at your desk to answer the phone or to hang up).

What's in the Box
Plantronics CS55 DECT 6.0 Digital Wireless Office Headset, HL10 remote lifter, interchangeable ear loops, over-the-head band, AC charger, and base station.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent sound quality; uncomfortable earpiece, November 28, 2006

I am extremely happy with both the sound quality and the range from base on this set. The freedom of not being wired to the phone & headset base it great. My only complaint is that the "over the ear" pieces are very hard & uncomfortable -- there are several sizes but after a couple of hours, all earpieces are terribly uncomfortable (and I am someone that has worn over the ear headsets for 10+ years). I finally switched to the "over the head" attachment, which has a nice, padded earpiece and it solved the problem. I usually don't like headbands but this one is very lightweight & doesn't mess up my hair. I would have given this 5 stars if they had figured out how to make a comfortable earpiece.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great product overall, March 17, 2007

By	J. Karatsoridis (Columbus, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I work as the technical adviser/ mechanic for a very busy automotive salvage yard, with 4 phone lines constantly ringing and a steady stream of customers. We have 4 Plantronics headsets- 3 CS50s and a CS55. Our office staff all use these headsets so that they can move about and answer calls without being tied to the counter. The range is phenomenal- I, in particular often need to go outside to our production area and to the yard, and even when I'm over 200 feet away from the base unit with several concrete and steel walls in between, the sound quality is great. These units also seem to stand up well to abuse- I often use mine while diagnosing vehicle problems and while repairing equipment, and it's gotten grease on it, gotten wet, been dropped, gets used in very cold and hot environments, and is generally mishandled, yet it continues to work flawlessly. My only complaint about it is the over- the- ear clips. they are very uncomfortable for the first few weeks of use. After that, they do seem to mold to your ear, and the discomfort eventually goes away. Also, the handset lifter can be a little bit difficult to adjust just right, and we ended up having the tape the bottom of the handsets to the phone so that they'd release properly. However, I can let that slide, since there's really no other way to make a device that can automatically lift a phone receiver that isn't designed to be automatically lifted. Overall, this is a very high quality product, and definitely has me convinced. when I purchase a bluetooth headset for my cell phone in the near future, it will certainly be a Plantronics headset.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great headset with outstanding voice quality., November 10, 2006

By	D. Mui (Bay Area, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great headset designed with everything you need for such a device. Buttons both on the base and the headset are easily accessible and use. The voice quality is outstanding and people I spoke to on this wireless headset said the voice quality is similar to that of a wired headset. I do have one issue with the first unit I received from Amazon, it was not working properly. However, Amazon was quick to replace it with another unit which has been working perfectly for a couple of months now. I'll come back to Amazon for my future buys.
