| Long-time headset user - can't beat a boom mike: Rating: 5/5 |
| I've used headsets on cordless handsets for 15 years and you can't beat the sound quality of a traditional boom mike. This headset is as good or better than any I've ever used, and the price from Amazon can't be beat. |

| xbox live and more?: Rating: 5/5 |
| I am using this for my hours of calls a day. Fantastic and inexpensive item I will never go without again. Oh, works much better than the xbox live headset also. Multiple people tell me they can understand me better using this headset. |

| Great for listening, not so great for talking: Rating: 3/5 |
To start, I'm using the Panasonic KX-TGA101S handsets.
The NET of my review is that the headset is quite comfortable and has great sound quality in the earpiece, but people on the other end still say my voice is faint, faroff, quiet, etc. If you need a comfortable headset to mostly listen (e.g. on long conference calls) and talk infrequently (i.e. you don't mind raising your voice for short statements) this is a great value. If you do lots of talking, I'd keep looking or be prepared to sustain a much louder voice.
Highlights:
Bendable Mic boom - allows you to fit the mic to your face size and aim it well at your mouth; you can also get the mic really close to compensate for the poor microphone volume.
Foam cover on the Mic - reduces your light breathing noise and eliminates wind noise if you take your phone outside.
Headband - the notches in the adjustable headband are quite firm so when you set the size of the headband it stays where you put it!
Soft ear cushion - it's very comfortable to wear this headset for long calls.
Sound quality of the ear piece - Volume and quality of the sound you hear is great.
Let downs:
Sound quality of the microphone - I purchased this based on the reviews that mentioned this headset was much better than Plantronics headsets people had tried with the Panasonic phones. I too tried that and got comments that I was too quiet (though I could hear perfectly through the Plantronics headset). This headset also gets the same comments that I'm too quiet yet I can hear perfectly. I rate it a 3 because I don't always get the comments - so I make due with this and if I do get the comments I just bend the microphone boom closer to my mouth (to the point I'm practically kissing the thing).
Durability of the earpiece/headband connection - the plastic connection between the headband and the earpiece is pretty fragile. The first headset I ordered arrived broken in it's package even though the Amazon box looked like it had received only a minor bump. My new one is fine, but I'm very gentle with it now. |

| Great little Headset!: Rating: 5/5 |
| I work at home & was looking for a reasonably priced headset & this is it! I often have conference calls that go 90 minutes or more so a headset was the route to go. I really like the way it fits as it adjusts with a swival earpiece & can fit snuggly against you ear. |

| Sound great on both ends!: Rating: 5/5 |
I've owned several headsets over the years from cheap to expensive and this set outshines them all.
These have the best sound for both parties that I have used. The listener can hear me much more clearly with these and visa versa; in fact, I had to turn my phone down a notch.
The ear pad is snug and comfortable, no need to press to hear clearly as with others I have used. The other side is a bit rigid above the ear but my hair is really fine so it probably wouldn't bother most or could be remedied easily with a small bit of padding. |
