(More customer reviews)Mine's going back, here's why.
In theory, it would be wonderful to replace a wired headset and a wired microphone with a single wireless component. Eliminating all the wires running around the desk would be wonderful. Adding telephone handset functionality to the mix would be even better. That's what I had in mind when I purchased this product. What I got was a bigger wiring mess than I had originally.
Logitech provides a ludicrously short patch cord to connect the base unit to the telephone, and the telephone handset must be plugged into Logitech's base unit. That's some great engineering: The patch cord, the coiled handset cord, and the thin cable connecting the Logitech battery pack to the headset are necessarily all piled nearly on top of each other. The wires all immediately become hopelessly intertwined. The rechargable battery pack for the headset rests on top of the base unit. It pops out of its charging cradle at the slightest provocation. I've had to chase it over the side of the desk as it trailed handset and cables behind it. Wireless isn't supposed to be like this.
The headset is a lousy replacement for even the cheapest headset. It produces faint, monaural sound, and is much worse than the telephone handset. The microphone, as far as I can tell, was defective on my unit. I had to literally yell into the microphone in order for it to even begin to register with XP's speech recogition software. After several hours of fooling with it, I was never able to find a setting that would allow it to be used. There's a micophone volume setting on the Logitech base unit. It had no noticable effect...I'll live with the two wires on the desk until someone comes up with a better solution.
