(4 out of 5)Versatile but could be better
This hands free kit is versatile. It has many settings that can be adjusted for sound quality including a selector switch to match telephone impedance. What's not shown in the picture is a little wire hook that allows you to hang the headset up off the desk when not in use.
You have the option of using an over-the-head strap or over the ear clip. The problem with the over the ear clip is that you have to remove the earpiece padding to wear it. I stuck with the over-the-head strap because it's more comfortable.
(5 out of 5)Well worth the price.
It is pricey, but you do get what you pay for in this case. Great clearity and very comfortable. If you need a hands free set for like when you are working on a computer, this is the one!
(5 out of 5)Great headset
Easy to set up, great volume controls, and very comfortable. Recommend highly!
(5 out of 5)Works perfectly for me
I first wanted to respond to a concern about terrible screeching when used in office multi-phone conditions. I can't speak to multiple S10's in the same office but did have a screech on first try to another extension. The amplifier, however, has 7 configuration settings. I found several settings worked for outgoing calls but only two worked for both in office and outgoing use. So if a second headset is bought in my office I'll respond to whether we could find a configuration setting for both headsets that worked. I supposed that just confuses the concern.
The earhook setup is light and I find that I forget I'm wearing it until I run into the cord turning my chair or standing up. It is nice that nothing actually sits inside my ear but rather it rests gently on the outside.
Volume wise: In addition to adjusting the volume and tone of incoming signal it really has power available to broadcast your voice out. There are two ranges available for output as well as a volume in each range. The highest range is too much but it is good to know its there if I ever get someone complaining they can barely hear me (as happened all the time with a previous headset system).
(4 out of 5)Does the job but...
I have this at work. It does the job okay, but people sometimes have a hard time hearing what I say, even though I have the speaking volume turned all the way up. The other drawback is that you can't switch out headsets with it - you only can use the monoaural headset that comes with it, which isn't so good for noisy environments.
Other than that, I have been using it for over 6 months now and it has been working well enough to keep.
