Reviews around quality (4.32 of 5)

  • But really, I am not okay with the terrible sound quality.)
  • I had gone thru the purchase of 3 other phone solutions that even had good reviews and overall the quality of phones seems sad and unsatisfactory but this one is a keeper.

Reviews around headset (3.72 of 5)

  • The headset is rather cheap in quality, for that I am very unhappy
  • I was so excited to get the new one, but the headset is cheap and the phone is not nearly as clear as the old model,however I will take what I can
  • I would buy a cordless phone with a headphone jack, and buy a cheap headset
  • The headset is very flimsy and there is an unreasonable amount of static considering the price of this phone.

Reviews around star (2.87 of 5)

  • This model is great because it's not extremely high end but works as though it were
  • However, despite these negatives, I still think this phone is a solid 5 star because of the great set of features.- Constant buzzing in my ear - I hear a constant buzz on my end of the phone line
  • I gave 5 stars in the beginning, until the clip just broke so suddenly while trying to clip it on my jeans!Very convenient
  • If the maximum ringer were a little louder ....5 stars.
  • 1 star - unusable, unsatisfactory quality, and poor technology.

Reviews around matt (2.75 of 5)

  • It falls a bit short of 5 stars because the volume isn't as adjustable as I'd like (callers come in pretty loud sometimes), and the buttons are pretty small for my fingers, but otherwise it has worked well so far, and has a good long battery life away from the base.
  • No matter where I place the main unit, there is a buzzing noise.
  • This model is great because it's not extremely high end but works as though it were
  • The phone frees the hands to be able to continue working as you carry your conversation
  • I trouble shot the matter with the Plantronics, it seems the CT14 is an analog phone and Comcast home phone service is all digital.

Reviews around static (2.37 of 5)

  • The first 8 months the product worked perfectly, but then I started hearing intermittent static and then silence for about 5-8 seconds which in turn people on my conference call would also not hear me.
  • This model is great because it's not extremely high end but works as though it were
  • It falls a bit short of 5 stars because the volume isn't as adjustable as I'd like (callers come in pretty loud sometimes), and the buttons are pretty small for my fingers, but otherwise it has worked well so far, and has a good long battery life away from the base.
  • There is a slight static on the line sometimes, but I suspect that may be a problem I'm having with the actual line, rather than the phone

Reviews around cord (2.02 of 5)

  • It is kind of expensive because you can always get a wireless phone set and use a cheaper corded headset, but if you need a dedicated phone with a headset, it is a good choice
  • Also, the cord to the headset seems to twist, and I am afraid it will break over time
  • :No adjustable microphone volumeHeadset cords are fragile
  • When properly routed, though, the cord has good strain relief and should last a long time.
  • I also find the cord easy to tangle and have pulled the phone off my desk and onto the floor losing calls several times.

Reviews around bite (1.95 of 5)

  • I like that I was able to pickup a spare battery to swap out, although this is a bit more difficult than I would like.
  • The phone is still usable at this distance, the sound just breaks up a bit.
  • It's very compact (really only the size of a credit card or a tiny bit bigger and maybe not quite 1/2" thick) - very easy to stick in a pocket or clip on (or just leave it setting on the desk)
  • I won't give it a five star as the headset could be a little bit more comfortable and its cable should be a littler bit more thicker
  • The new unit is much cleaner in terms of signal - the earpiece is a bit loud even on the quietest settings and the phone book speed dial functions aren't totally intuitive

Reviews around finger (1.69 of 5)

  • I had to use my fingernail as my fingers would hit more than one number
  • I'm busy at home and love the ease of doing this n' that while conversing
  • The initial set up is quite simple except plugging in the battery requires delicate fingers.
  • The only drawbacks to the phone are the small keypad, which takes fat-fingered people like me a bit of getting used to, and the display doesn't add any sort of separators to the entered phone numbers, so if you want to see 1-213-555-1212, you're going to be disappointed when you see 12135551212.
  • Overall, the buttons are easy to use (though they ARE small for fat fingers like mine), easy set-up, fairly intuitive use

Reviews around background noise (1.46 of 5)

  • There is a lot of background noise for some reason that began with this phone
  • I'm busy at home and love the ease of doing this n' that while conversing
  • This phone works well but there is more background noise than the older model.
  • Especially if you're in a room with background noise or the person you're talking to is on a cell phone.

Reviews around ringer (1.44 of 5)

  • * Ringer isn't very loud, I don't always hear it from the other room - only phone in the house in 13
  • I'm busy at home and love the ease of doing this n' that while conversing
  • The ringer is so dim, I had to buy a separate ringer device
  • Only one minor problem, the ringer isn't very loud but it will do
  • Ringer volume is way too low--you will want some other phone on the same line in the area with a loud ringer.
