You get what you pay for |
| This was by far the worst headset I have ever used. The battery would constantly die, and would take 6-8 hours to charge. I could figure I would have use of the headset every two days. |

Great deal for the price |
| Considering similar products from Plantronics are many times the price, this is a great deal if you want a starter headset. I admit I was ready to toss mine after having problems with the microphone cutting out during conversations, but I finally figured out I had to turn up the microphone volume using the tiny control on the left side of the unit. It's been working consistently since. The factory must set this control to 0, resulting in bad "out-of-box" experiences for many people. Easy to switch from computer to phone connection sound by picking up the phone handset and placing it on the pad. Also very handy for a cubicle environment when you want to listen to online media without bothering your neighbor. I got the microphone to work with the PC by not following the color codings on the cable (I plugged the blue cable connector into the orange microphone input on the PC instead of the line in). So, a couple of gotchas that you might not encounter if you read the manual first (can't find it anymore) but the real value here is the price. Good starter system for a cubicle worker. |

Nice functionality but sound quality and coverage is poor |
| This unit was easy to connect to our two line phone and configure for compatibility with the phone. But, its sound quality was poor. People I was speaking with complained of lots of static during the call. Another problem with this product is that its performance is sensitive to the location of the headset with respect to the base unit. When I was 20 feet from the base unit, a motion of 4 or 5 inches meant the difference between a *VERY* static connection and a clear connection. Overall, we did not like this product and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. |
