Nice basic headset
Nice for the price.Goes on easy.Good sound quality on both ends.

Love, Love, LOVE MY HEADSET!!!
When I bought my new phone last year I didn't care about bells and whistles, I wanted a headset! As a new mom, I knew it would come in handy and it has!! This is my second of this model, the first had a small piece breakoff from repeated use...no problem, it was inexpensive enough to replace! I can hear very well and so can those on the other end. I can give my child a bath, change diapers, cook dinner, do laundry...it doesn't matter! My hands are free and really, isn't that what you want a headset for??? Love, love, LOVE my headset!!

My wife loves it!
For some time my wife has wanted something by which she could avoid holding a warm cell phone on her ear. I read the wonderful reviews on this item and sent for it. My wife is delighted. The headphone is comfortable and clear. ... Read more

Good phone, but headset needs frequent replacement
I've had this phone for about 2 years, and it's worked well. My only complaints:
Plantronics Cordless Headset Phone
The sound quality is hissy, and wavy. When we pull the headset off the receiver and plug it into a different phone, the sound quality is better. So the headphones/microphone assembly is top notch. The tiny little receiver unit isn't as good as others. However, for a person with limited use of the hands, the small receiver unit is easier to hold and dial.
Great for working with your computer

Clear as a bell
Worked extremely well with both our Motorola Cell phone and Uniden cordless phone. Called several people immediately to ask how clear my voice was, and they all stated that my voice was very clear.I could hear them clearly as well

Great for home office use
This is the second set i've purchased and can't say anything bad.

Simple to use.Does what it should
This is a basic, easy to use, and versatile headset.I use one for my office phone and one for my cell phone.I've configured one to work with the "over the head" band and another with the ear clip.Both work very well.Great value for the money! ... Read more

Hard to find a good headset
I've tried and returned at least 5 headsets ranging from $15 to $150. This one was typical of the others that I returned, low volume on the earpiece and low quality microphone. I finally ended up with a Panasonic TCA60 for about $19 which is very loud and sounds great on both ends. It's nothing fancy, no volume control and no mute, but who needs that when you can accomplish the same thing with your phone. Price does not determine sound quality. I recommend this product.

headset so, so
While this headset beats the kind that sticks in your ear, the listening volume is still to low. They only have a volume adjustment for the microphone not the earphone volume. What a shame!

It doesn't work
The instructions say that if you hear an echo, you should change the setting of the three-way switch until the echo goes away.But with the one they sent me, it echoes on all settings. ... Read more

affordable and good for office use
i have used the S12 for a while and i am very pleased with it. the sound quality is excellent and the earpiece is comfortable. there is a way to set it up so you don't have to remove the handset from the phone every time, but i could not control the volume that way. if you need a headset but don't need to walk around the office with it, this is the way to go!

Nice headset
I spend a lot of time during the week on calls.This headset makes that more manageable (and allows me to actually get some work done in the process).My Avaya VOIP phone has a headset button anda dedicated port, so I can seamlessly switch between this device and the normal method.The sound quality is good and the LED thatsignals that you are on a call is a great idea.
Easy Set-up, Works as Advertised
This headset and amplifier unit works very well overall, and set-up was a breeze. Sound quality is good, although I had trouble with echos on an international conference call one time. My only gripe would be that the indicator LEDs are a bit difficult to see under bright office lighting. Sometimes I'm not sure if the headset is engaged when answering a call. ... Read more

Not recommended for all day
Sound quality is good, and it's fine for occasional use, but I need a headset that I can wear for hours at a time - this one is just too uncomfortable.

Multitasking Made easy.
Headset cordless phones allows you to enjoy your conversation and frees your hand...Multitasking made easy. You can cook and talk, do house work and talk, even shave and talk!!!
It's okay, but nothing extraordinary.
The sound quality for the earpiece has never given me any problems.Ocassionally, the microphone is too quiet for the person on the other end.

Awesomely small and comfortable; hoping for even greater sound quality
Wow. The Nokia BH-800 is great.It's small; about half the size of most other headsets.The fit is great.Nokia includes a eyeglasses-like coated wire to help hold the device in place.You don't need it.The device stays in place by itself.Before getting the device, I didn't understand why anyone would need or use the necklace to store the device when not in use.Now I use the necklace.It's convenient and not too geeky looking.Pairing the headset with my nokia phone was cake.The sound quality is desent, but not great.I'm hoping the next generation has even greater sound quality. Enjoy.

If this is the best, the others must be REALLY BAD!
My ears must be different than most others. This thing would not stay in my ear even when using the ear loop. The headset kept losing it's connection to my Treo 700WX and required a soft reboot of the Treo to get it to work again. Every time I talked on it the person on the other end experienced an echo. I was very disapointed as most of the reviews are very positive. To be fair, I can't use the ear bud type stereo headphones either, they just don't fit my ears. Also, other people have been having trouble with other bluetooth headsets with the new Treo 700WX. So, giving it the benifit of the doubt, I gave it a 2, but I was leaning towards a 1.

Comfortable and attractive, but poor sound quality
The unit is small and looks attractive compared to other units.HOWEVER, I found the sound quality to be unacceptable.This is my first Bluetooth, so maybe my expectations are unrealistic, but I can't hear without static on this thing unless I hold the phone (Samsung A920) up near my ear within a foot - which defeats the entire purpose.

It Rox my world
This headset has worked very well for me.Sound quality is great in the car or at home.I very rarely have to change the battery, it usually lasts about a month or so... and I'm a girl, you know I talk on the phone a lot.This is a great price, I paid much more from my local cingular store.Very comfortable on my ear, and I like the fact I can switch it around for either ear.

You Get What You Pay For
I've had this for two months, and while it is decent basic headset, there are major flaws.For reference's sake, I have this paired with a new Motorola L6 I got in May.The main power button is at best unreliable, and after reading reviews elsewhere I have come to the conclusion that this wasn't a faulty unit, it is endemic to the line--the power button is just faulty, twitchy, unreliable, whatever you want to call it.
Just ok
I had this headset for a few weeks but my dog chewed it up.I replaced it with the H700 and like it much better, but if you don't want to spend $80, this one's not bad.

If you are on the phone for hours a day, the benefits of a headset over a handset become clear--especially if it is as light and comfortable as the Plantronics T10 model.

update from Oct 17, 2002
Still rated 4 stars. In response to the June 23,2006 review, my ruler says 42 inches - 3 feet 6 inches. Maybe in four years since I wrote my review, Plantronics put a longer cord, maybe a customer suggestion or something made em do it.The measurements for the Mute and On/Off buttons are correct BUT they still are right next to each other, still have the same tactile feel as one another and so I'll still contend that it would be easy to disconnect instead of mute.
Doesn't quite do it
I ordered this phone after getting many positive comments about Plantronics phone quality. Unfortunately, the sound quality on this phone is no better then it was on the $10 phone I was replacing, also it lacks any speed dial features.I think there are comparable phones out there that cost a lot less.

The T10 works well--with a little help.
If people love cats or hate them, the T10 headset phone is no different. So many reviews were critical, I hesitated to even try one. But I'm glad I ordered a T10, and it's a keeper. Instead of giving the phone a good workout for several months, I'll review it now so as to report my initial experiences and address the complaints.

Does what it says it will do...
First of all, I must start out by saying that I am a little surprised that this little mechanical device is even necessary with all of the technological advances out there these days.The HL-10 is kind of a "throw back to the seventies" in terms of its jerry rigging function.Having said this...Plantronics builds quality stuff and I am sure that there is a good reason for it.The device does exactly what it is supposed to do once you adjust it for your individual phone.I was a little concern that it would fit my phone but they include plenty of adjustment options to take care of any setup.I am using it with a Plantronics CS351Nheadset - which I love for it professional wireless function.I tested the HL-10 by picking up/hanging up the headset 10 times in sucession and the lifter raised and lowered the receiver successfully each time.That was good enough for me.Definitely worth the $ if you own a wireless headset and you roam around the house/office while talking on the phone.

My employer is very pleased with the product, it allows him a lot more freedom of movement in the office now. Good product, great value!

SAVES ONE EXTRA STEP
WHEN THE PHONE RINGS IT PICK UP HANDSET.BE VERY CAREFUL AND PATIENT ITS GETS VERY SENSITIVE.AND DOESN'T WORK ALL THE TIME WHEN YOU ARE ANSWERING THE PHONE ONE AFTER ANOTHER.I ALSO FOUND OUT IT CAME WITH TAPE SO YOU CAN MOUNT TO YOUR TELEPHONE,I USE VELCRO SO YOU CAN REMOVE IT QUICKLY. ...

Impressive, but...
Our office has just purchased the GN 9120, and I find it to be perfect, except for one thing.However, first the good points:The sound and tone are wonderful.I walked a half-block away from our office and still had terrific sound and quality.The convenience of the hands-free headset is unbeatable.And the set-up was very, very easy and uncomplicated -- even for me!
Wireless headset
When this unit is working, it's great, I have had a lot of problems with it cutting out. I call the customer help line, and they are very nice, but the fixes they have been suggesting are temporary at best. They are now sending me a new battery which they hope will solve the problems but I'm not convinced this will work. Great idea, they just don't seem to have the technology down pat. ... Read more

Product Sucks
Even though it all install correctly - it does not work. No sound will go through the device.THis is really bad - i bought it to eliminate these probs as it was SKYPE certified. NOT!

Disappointing at best
So I purchased this headset for two reasons. 1) It was Skype Certified 2)It was made my MotorolaLet me also tell you that I professionally repair computers and operating system issues.The first headset I received didn't work out of the box.After tinkering around with the software and driver I was able to get the headset to work once with a humming sound during output heard by others on Skype.I called Motorola, only after attempting to alleviate every other possible reason for the headset not working.I reinstalled drivers, worked on windows and Skype settings, confirmed partnering with bluetooth, attempted to download updated drivers, used multiple computers, reinstalled Skype.After talking with Motorola they told me I should go back to the store and get another one.I did that and the second headset worked.The headset still had the humming sound during output for the receiver.I have tried using the headset with multiple programs including: Skype, sound recorder, and Teamspeak.All programs have the same humming sound.I contacted Skype which does not have a support group for their products via phone.I also contacted Motorola again.The most difficult thing in dealing with Motorola is that they had no idea the H500 (the headset) and the PC850 (bluetooth adapter) which packaged together and both Motorola brands.They first told me there could be an incompatibility issue between the bluetooth and the headset.After I said that Motorola made both and packaged them together they said oh never mind.They also attempted to tell me that the humming wasn't really there.After calling while using the headset their tune was a little different.I attempted to speak with the H500 product development team over errors in manufacturing of their product but was unsuccessful.I would highly recommend going with another brand while using Skype.After reading reviews from multiple websites I'm convinced their product is flawed internally.

Pretty good product
Bought this product thru Amazon and received it yesterday. The installation of the drivers for the laptop is a bit long with Windows poping up messages saying "could not load usb device properly", but however the software installs everything and without a problem. The coupling of the headset to the computer is a breeze and then comes the moment of truth. The bluetooth headset works perfectly with Skype and Yahoo Messenger. It basically is a replacement for you computer speakers and mic. It gives you the freedom to walk around and do other stuff while being in the vicinty of your computer (bluetooth limited by a 30 feet distance). Call clarity is pretty good with static coming in if I go beyond the range of the device. In all am really satisfied with this device and would definitely recommend it. ... Read more

I like it.
I should say I right now that I don't own a cell phone so I can't verify the microphone part of this thing - only the music part.It's a bit funky to get used to, like learning all the colors and flashing LED's, beeps or the controls.It's also a bit heaver then normal headphones because of the batteries.I recommend you don't read the getting started guide, rather jump right into the user manual.
If you use Apple Mac stay VERY far away
This product looks good, feels good, but unfortunately that is all I can say about it. I did extensive research looking for a bluetooth headset to use with skype and voip, music for me would have been a second use. The reason I chose the Jabra above the Motorola sets was because it specifically stated on the website that it could be used for voip. As no Os system sepc were given, I assumed that as long as your system supported Bluetooth that was ok, (I did not buy it to use for stereo music so A2DP was for me not a priority) Delivery through Amazon was super fast. Installation very easy... except here is where it started. Pairing no problem, but a very bad almost inaudible sound with loads of interference. Tried music, same, tried to call someone on skype, they almost screamed at me the sound was so bad (of course they had no idea what was happening). I tried to use the product with USB (another purchase reason) but couldn't get it to work. Dumbfounded I called support (or what they call support these days.. needless to say it was with some poor unfotunate person who could barely speak the language- German). 'I want to use this product with an iMac', 'what is that, from vodaphone or Sony Ericsson?' Finally I askled to speak to the supervisor, he only speaks english, OK so do I. To cut it short. The supervisor has no interest talking to customers, according to this mythical person, if the website doesn't state explicitly that it is Mac compatible then it isn't (I should know/smell that????). The final info from an internal memo in the call centre, Jambra is not compatible with any Apple product. Well, then I have to accept it and hope that Amazon will take my product back. My recommendation resulting from my experience... stay very far away, anything with technical and customer support this bad can only lead to trouble down the line. ... Read more

Weak microphone makes headset unusable
I have tried using this headset with 2 different Panasonic cordless phones, one 900MHz and the other 5.8GHz.For both phones, on a variety of calls, the other party has trouble hearing me and says that I sound as if I am very far away.I had been using an old Uniden headset on the same phones and it worked fine, but then the plastic head-band broke and I bought the Panasonic TCA-98.What a waste of money.

Perfectly good headset
I have not had any trouble at all with this headset.I like the in-line mute switch because my phone does not have a mute button.
Microphone gain too low
I constantly get complaints that the person at the other end of the line can't hear me because the sound of my voice is so low.Otherwise, it is a great headset.Comfortable, good headphone, sunds clear and loud.Just the micraphone seems to have trouble.So I'm not using it. ... Read more

echo problems
This headset has echo problems for the person you're speaking to.
Poor sound quality and echos
I got this headset with my LG VX8100 so I couldn't return it...otherwise I would've.The sound quality is fair at best.Whenever I turn up the volume there's an echo heard by me and on the other end.On a positive note, it's very comfortable given all the adjustments you can make to the ear hook.

Nice Usability, Poor Fit
I also bought this headset from Verizon for the Samsung SCH-A950.Sound quality is quite good, never once heard the dreaded "can you repeat that?" from those I called.The volume controls and multi-function button are easy to reach and simple to navigate "blindly."My one complaint (and cause for me to return it) was that it felt way too lose on my ear.Even with the flexible behind-the-ear arm, turning my head side-to-side would result in it swinging around.Heaven forbid you put the car's convertible top down: the BT150 flops in the wind... ...

I Can't Live (or work) Without This Head Set!
I am on the telephone for 8+ hours a day for 5+ days a week. Obviously, I've tried A LOT of different kinds of headsets and this one is by far the absolute best buy for the money! Considering the frequency with which I use a headset phone, this is the very first time I have had a headset last more than six months! I'm trying an internet based phone service right now and was disappointed with the diminished sound quality. I was able to turn up the microphone sensitivity on my headset and it has really helped with the clarity and sound quality now!
so so build quality
I have used two of these regularly (meaning each day for atleast 10 minutes minimum, during the last 2 years).Sound quality is 7/10 with inline volume contol.Also there is a mic switch that can adjust the sensitivity of the mic so that the person on the other end has the best chance of hearing you well.

Does not work
According to the specifications this headset supports Bluetooth 1.2, as well as the Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) and the Audio Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP). I could not get any sound to come out when connected with my Sony Ericsson w600i in phone or Walkman mode, and people could not hear me when I called them. I tried every setting possible, read the instructional booklets for each device and the thing still wouldn't to anything when connected. I am guessing that this headset works fantastically with any Motorola device, but as far as I'm concerned this product is guilty of false advertising. After this experience I do not plan on buying any Motorola Bluetooth devices.

Didn't work for me at all...
I purchased this product for use with Skype on my PC. It was time consuming to set up and when it was finally set up it never worked fully, nor well.I would recommend seeking another product if you want a wireless connection to Skype on your PC.

good sound, works with my MDA, not good in crowded enviornment
