(More customer reviews)This is my second headset and I really like it. I've had it three weeks and, so far, it works well. (I put in "so far" because I've had a headset whose quality deteriorated after six months. And there's the poor gentleman whose headset broke after four months.)
Two quibbles. My conversational partners hear me pretty well, but the handset does better. From my end I hear them clearly and crisply, better than the handset. I'd like the mike quality and volume to be a little bit better. Then, the behind the head, over the ears design means that the headset plastic occupies the same space as my eye glass temples. So when I want to use the headset it's off with the glasses, on with the headset, adjust the headset and mike, and then on with the glasses once more. When I want to take the headset off it's simply the reverse. So I use the headset only for conversations which are going to take a while.
It's important to note that there are four kinds of telephone headsets, distinguished by their plug endings. This headset ends in a three contact 2.5 mm plug and is for use with cordless phones and some cell phones. Various cell phone manufacturers have their own headset plug-in systems, many proprietary, so you can't use a standard headset with them. For computer use one type has two 3.5 mm cords, one stereo - for the earphones, and one 3.5 mm mono - for the microphone. Also for the computer there are headsets which terminate in a USB plug. And, if you have a good two cord headset but it needs a boost in power, there are USB pre-amps, which plug in to the computer and have 3.5 mm plugs facing out to plug your headset in.
I make this point because Amazon usually does not tell you what kind of headset you are buying. It is perfectly possible to buy a headset from a vendor, intending it for use on your portable phone and instead finding that you have received one designed for a computer. As far as I know their are no conversion adapters. So there is nothing for it but to return the headset and securing one designed for the use you had in mind. To exacerbate this situation many illustrations in Amazon do NOT show the cord termination. If the written description doesn't tell one the headset's designed use one is left in the dark. Time for a communication with Customer Service.
The illustration for this nice Uniden headset is perfectly clear, matching its quality and performance.
