The 2.5mm jack means it won't fit on some mobile phones (this is smaller than a standard headphone jack), but for my Blackberry it's great (both 8820 and Pearl). As a bonus, I also use it with my XBOX 360 controllers (both with the attached messenger keyboard and without) for online gaming. Some people have observed that I sound a little distant with this headset while plugged into the wireless XBOX controller, but repositioning the mic to be as close to my mouth as possible fixes it. There is an adjustable mic sensitivity switch on the plug, but this doesn't seem to make any difference to people at the far end of the conversation. It's held up quite well over the past few years, being stuffed in bags and traveling around. It's not as cool as the wireless headsets (bluetooth etc) but it doesn't take batteries, doesn't have to be recharged and isn't subject to interference. I'll buy it again if/when this one finally dies. Headset for those who want options or variety (17 January 2010)Good sound quality. Good price. Convenient in-line mute, mic and earpiece volume controls. Versatile. Will get uncomfortable for all-day users. IMO better than similar Panasonic (with the silly foam covered boom mic). Poor quality, again. (08 January 2010)I bought a Plantronics cordless cordless unit and headset five years ago, both were flawless 'till the headset cord shorted. This is the second Plantronics replacement headset I've bought, and they've both been useless. The M214C had unacceptable mic volume, no one could hear me. This one has a pulsing distortion noise in the earphone, unacceptable again. Guess I'll just cut the short out of my old cord. I wish I'd bought it at Amazon, so I could just drop the return in the mail like the other one. 100% versatile and most comfortable product on the market! (05 January 2010)While I would only echo the other comments with my accolades for this product, I also wanted to note that, when used in conjuntion with a standard PC splitter for headsets, it also supports Skype and GoToMeeting just as well. I found a very compact 2.5 to 3.5 mm adapter and use it on my iPhone and office phone as a SINGLE SOLUTION. I spent significant time and effort playing with Bluetooth and other wired headsets and have found this to be simply the best. It is also durable and a good choice for the heavy business traveller who expects to be on the phone a lot (I routinely have 1-2 hour calls several times a day) and needs a headset that can take the abuse of routine travel (stuffed in briefcase, jacket pockets, etc.). A few adapters required, but overall the best solution for every reason: sound quality, comfort, portability, spectrum of communications equipment it pairs with, mute/volume features, noice cancellation, RF buzz reduction, etc. etc. Improves communication (28 December 2009)I bought this to help me communicate with my 87-year-old mother who is becoming progressively hard of hearing. The improvement was far beyond my expectations. I just had the first real conversation with my mother since the last time I saw her in person. |
