Customer Reviews

Solid headset for use with cordless/wireless phones
I've been looking for the longest time for a solution that would allow me to use any corded headset with both my cordless phones and my computer for VOIP. I always hated the fact that one had to have a different headset with 2 plugs for your computer and then another one to use with cordless/wireless phones.

Anyways, I really bought this product for the USB adapter that comes with it since that nifty little device allows me to simply plug that into my computer and use any headset that I have that works with my cordless/wireless phones. I just add this little USB converter to my travel pack and I'm good to go...one less headset to carry with me on my trips ;-)

Plantronics headsets have been hit or miss for me in the past but this one seems to work well...the little volume/mute control on the wire itself seems a little flimsy and plastic'y but other than that it works great with my Uniden ELBT-595 cordless phone system.

OK but better headsets must be out there for less
I bought this primarily to use with a regular desktop business phone. In addition to regular phone use, I do some conferencing via Skype and didn't want to have two headsets on my desk, so finding a headset I could use with both Skype and the 2.5mm jack on my phone seemed like a good solution.

However, one immediate problem confounded me when I got the headset: The cord for the 2.5mm cable is only 4 ft long! This is totally useless in reaching from my desk phone to my head without the cord laying on my keyboard or preventing me from leaning back in my chair. I spend as many as 4 hrs a day on the phone, so having some ability to shift around is important.

Buying a 2.5mm extension cable is non-trivial. Some vendors on the web have them, but want 4x the cost for shipping. I ended up ordering a cable from Mouser Electronics for a small price and reasonable shipping.

Plantronics is obviously aware of the short cable issue because the USB side of the cable makes the cable a reasonable length for when it is used with the computer. Too bad Plantronics forgot that they are also selling this to work with regular phones.

Audio quality is fair; I do notice the hum noise that other reviewers have mentioned when I crank up the volume on the phone amplifier itself. For what it's worth, I'm using this with a 2-line AT&T 992 phone.

If the extension cord works, I will keep using it. Otherwise, I'm going to have to find something else for my phone.

P.S. It does work fine with my MacBook Pro and Skype on 10.4.

Nice HeadPhone - Comfortable.
I liked this headset a lot. Its says 3-in-1 i.e it works with cordless phone,mobile phone and PC (via USB).
For me , it worked only on the cordless phone and USB.
I talk for long hours still it is very comfortable.
I did not give it 5 stars since it did not work with my mobile phone.I can hear the caller's voice but caller is unable to hear me.
