Pretty good quality for such a low priced unit.

Great quality, easy to setup and easy to use

Good quality and easy to use.

poor voice quality, difficult to understand

The audio quality of recorded calls is terrific

Additionally, the quality of the sound is not good.

It is completely digital, and still the sound quality is worst than the Old tape recorders.

It has more functions that I can use, does its honest job but the audio quality is quite poor

Crystal clear voice quality and also can be set loud enough to hear from other rooms

Horrible sound quality

Recorded sound quality (>10 different callers tested) is much poorer (with or without DSL filter), which is puzzling in this era of declining cost of semiconductor production; maybe it's due to cheaper transducers

Horrible sound quality, I don't use it

Works ok.......however sound quality is not very good.

Very poor quality.

Sound quality is not very good.

Quality of sound is very good

The sound quality had become bad enough that it was difficult to understand the messages left

Audio quality is fine, recorded outgoing message is fine

Also the quality of the outgoing message isn't great, and for someone who uses this for business, I'd rather it sound much clearer.

Excellent sound quality, easy to use.

I found the audio quality to be just fine unless there's a problem on the other end of the line, which would also be a problem if you answered the call.

It has extremely poor voice quality and the recording interrupts normal calls

Sound quality is terrible - fuzzy, nasal and noisy.

Replaced a 15-year old answering machine with this, hoping for better quality playback

Digital message system is of excellent quality

Excellent price, quality & sound, easy to use, instructions to install are clear ..will recommend to others

Purchased this item for a small business, it's reliable but the sound quality and the fact that every time the user hits a button the machine speaks can be irritating

Low cost, high quality sound, and easy to set-up and operate.

It's easy to set up and the quality of sound is good.

Sound quality is good for the size.

good quality.

Second the sound quality is only fair

All the buttons, with writing in two languages, make the interface too busy looking, but the audio quality is very good.

* Excellent sound quality, ample volume

The audio quality is poor, albeit somewhat dependent on the source quality.

Simple to use with pretty good sound quality.

ONly drawback is the quality for recording your outgoing msg is low.

Great quality

I love the quality

good quality.

Great new quality for a little bit of money

As the quality of so many products continues to decline, working used products become all the more valuable.

Sound quality for my desk phone is better than digital phones

Easy setup,adequate audio quality and efficient operation make this device well suited as a low cost land line answer system

A really good quality, simple to use answering machine for the money.

Works fine and the sound quality is good.

Good sound quality.

Reasonable sound quality, and plenty of recording time.

don't want the expense of extras on my phone bill and this does much more than what I was expecting and the quality is great

The sound quality could be a bit better.

The machine itself works well enough: it puts out a pretty intelligible greeting (see below for how to improve it significantly) and records a slightly less intelligible, but entirely adequate quality, message from your caller

The sound quality of the messages is very poor.

By flipping the phone over and speaking directly into this opening from a close distance (say, 6 inches or so), the sound quality of your greeting message will be improved significantly--almost to the same quality as that provided by VM service from your phone company

Sound quality isn't that great

Very poor sound quality, crackly and blurry

The sound quality is pretty good as well

The sound quality is pretty good as well

Poor quality recording.

On the positive side, the machine offers excellent sound quality, ample volume, and simple controls with voice prompts as needed.

Good audio quality, easy to use.

But I am guessing that if they made a better quality machine that cost double what this one did I would probably buy it

It is really a reasonable price and you receive outstanding quality.

The quality of the speaker and recordings is terrible, rendering this answering machine unusable

It literally does everything advertised (at least so far), but the quality of sound is so abysmal, it is embarrassing

This was easy to set up, the message playback is of good quality and at this price, very good value

But its one of the last of its kind on the market, so I guess they don't have to put out a real good quality machine to get people to by it, Most, probably like me who are over , well lets just say not so young any more and continue to hang on to that land line

The quality of the incoming msgs is really good and the button placement, size, etc is very good.

Good quality material and what I needed

Easy to setup, clear voice quality, easy for end user to handle

This one has better audio quality

Sound quality is quite good.

Simple, small, and good sound quality

I was not happy with this unit because I thought the sound quality was poor

It's nice and compact/flat as

Two minor issues I noticed right away were (1) the voice playback on the 1740 is not as clear as on the 1739, and (2) the LED counter on the 1740 is not as large or bright as the 1739.

Works exactly as I assumed it would.

Now no more worries as to who is calling

Everything else worked just fine, but the recorded messages are so fuzzy with static as to be impossible to understand, whether listening on the external speaker or when calling in from a different line.

good as always

Works as it should.

Helpful and smal \l.

Even AT & T support could not get it to record messages

AT&T worked great in CA.
