Product Description
Garmin has introduced two new in-vehicle GPS receivers for use in your car or truck, the StreetPilot c320 and Street Pilot c330. We'll be discussing both in each description as both are virtually identical with one key difference. The c320 comes with Mapsource City-Select award-winning software on CD (for installation into a notebook or desktop computer) and uses a 128MB SD card which allows you to download a particular region for GPS mapping as you drive. The c330, on the other hand, comes pre-loaded with highly detailed MapSource City Select street data of the entire United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. The database features an industry-leading five million-plus points of interest?including hotels, restaurants, gas stations, ATMs, and attractions. So, if you do lots of long-distance continental driving, the c330 may be the better value for you. If you usually stick to driving within a section of the country, the c320 might just be the best for you. Both are exceptional units but you must choose which is best for you. Either way, you can be assured that you'll get where you want to go easily and comfortably. Choose between a three-dimensional navigation view or the more traditional ?bird's eye? overhead view Each boasts distinctive and sleek styling?the only buttons are a rotary volume knob and an on/off switch. The device is secured by a suction-mount cradle that fastens to the windshield for easy portability among vehicles. Users can customize their unit's appearance with an array of colored faceplates (sold separately).

Amazon.com Product Description
With a simple touch screen interface, automatic route calculation to any destination, and turn-by-turn voice-prompted directions, the StreetPilot c330 GPS navigator is a powerful companion for your adventures on the road. Plus, Garmin has designed the "c-series" of car navigation units to be as simple and easy-to-use as possible-- no more intimidating features, just straightforward, basic navigation at your fingertips. Selecting a destination is as simple as a few finger-strokes, and you can choose between a three-dimensional navigation view or the more traditional "bird's eye" overhead view.
The streetPilot "c-series" GPS navigators feature a simple touchscreen interface, with automatic route calculation to any destination. |
The 3.5-inch diagonal, 16-bit color display makes navigation a snap. |
The included database features nearly six million points of interests including hotels, restaurants, gas stations, ATMs, and attractions. |
The c330 keeps track of places that you find and stores the fifty most recent finds in an easy to access list called Recent Selections, placing the most recently viewed at the top of the list. This becomes a very helpful feature if you visit the same places over and over and don't want the inconvenient of reloading the information in the unit multiple times. Although the c330 boasts distinctive and sleek styling, simplicity is the name of the game. The only buttons are a rotary volume knob and an on/off switch. The device is secured by a suction-mount cradle that fastens to the windshield for easy portability between vehicles. You can customize the unit's appearance with an array of colored faceplates that are sold separately.
For the ultimate out-of-the-box convenience, the StreetPilot c330 comes pre-loaded with highly detailed MapSource City Select street data. The database features an industry-leading five million-plus points of interest, including hotels, restaurants, gas stations, ATMs, and attractions. The c330's bright, 3.5-inch diagonal, 16-bit color display makes navigation a snap. The unit also features dual integrated speakers for high-quality voice prompts, and an internal lithium-ion battery for out-of-car route planning.
It's also worth mentioning that with some GPS units the manual to use them is as thick as a phone book, but it was a pleasant surprise to find that the c330's manual was very easy to use and provided many screen shots to make sure the user understood the units capabilities. If you find yourself on the road looking for addresses often and just want a GPS to tell you where to go simply and clearly than this unit was made for you.
What's in the Box
StreetPilot c330 receiver, vehicle suction cup mount, PC/USB interface cable and quick-reference guide. Also includes a factory pre-loaded version of Americas Recreational Basemap and MapSource City Select North America CD with full unlock (for sale in North America).

Garmin 330 is they way to go!!!!.......2007-09-25
I looked for a GPS from several web sights. All of them took me to the Garmin 330. It was in my price range and had all the features I needed. Since I used this product it has made my traveling easier through the city I live in. I'm excited to use this on a long trip. Thank you Garmin for making such great products.

Customer Reviews:
You Can't Be Serious.......2007-09-23
This camera has all of the features a serious photographer would want: a comparatively large 1/1.7 sensor, full manual controls, almost-useable manual focus, and raw image capability. But that's where it fails miserably. While the industry is trying to standardize image formats, Canon chose to introduce yet another propriatary raw format. Photoshop doesn't recognize it. Both Apple's Aperature and Lightzone can open the file, but the white point is w_a_y off. So one must load Canon's kludgy image browser/image processor (yet /more/ software and disk space and time) only because of Canon's format decision.
This is one of many nice snapshot cameras if you only shoot JPGs. If you're a serious photographer, then save your money in case the Sigma DP-1 turns out to not be vaporware.
And it looks like maybe Canon is distancing itself from this thing; their camera registration link for the G9 is dead.
Plagued by stuck pixels.......2007-09-23
I have bought and returned 3 PowerShot G9 cameras because of stuck pixels.
I really like the features and size of the G9, but I cannot accept it if has stuck pixels.
The first G9 I bought had two stuck pixels in every shot I took: One bright red one near the center and one faint green one about 3/4ths to the right. The stuck pixels were present in the image files. This was a major defect.
The second G9 I bought had a bright blue stuck pixel on the LCD screen whenever the shot was previewed through the LCD viewfinder, but no stuck pixels in review mode (when the LCD was viewing pictures but not taking them), and no stuck pixels on uploaded pictures. This one was strange -- a distracting blue dot on your LCD viewfinder which isn't a permanent LCD display defect but always appears in camera mode. I suspect a software bug or something with the lenses/mirrors which only affects the LCD viewfinder.
The third G9 I bought had a faint green pixel stuck on the LCD. I have not fully tested the extent of this stuck pixel (LCD, CCD, etc.) yet, because I will be returning the G9.
I bought these three G9s from different venues (stores), and all had these problems. But since they were all right after the G9 was first released, it's possible they all came from the same bad manufacturing lot.
Great camera, great features, great size, so long as you don't get stuck pixels.
I've reluctantly switched to a S5 IS. I'd rather have 8 megapixels which work, than 12 megapixels which are a crap-shoot.
More megapixels is not always better, and Canon seems to have spread the pixels too far in the G9.
Caveat emptor.
Crap UI, documentation, and Mac compatibility.......2007-09-23
Come on Canon. I've 'docked' 4 plus digital cameras to my Mac and this is the first one that didn't just work. Also, the UI on the camera SUCKSASS!. Out of the box, I want to throw this thing across the room. This is not my first rodeo, if it was. I'd say, my bad... So far, so bad. I'll load your proprietary software and see if I can actually download some images to my computer. How about you just let me use my computer and my software and not have to download 600k of crappy software, please. I was a Nikon guy and was swayed to Canon for many reason, Clearly; UI, compatibility, and ease of initial use are not something Canon is interested in.
Stay tuned, I'll be back.
Incredible camera; very worthy upgrade from the G7.......2007-09-22
If you're a photographer who cares about image quality, and can't always lug around a DSLR, buy this camera. You will have no regrets.
I've had its predecessor, the G7, for about a year. It has been my normal always-in-the-bag camera. The G7 was limited at ISO 400; the G9 isn't. My normal workflow with the G9 is to use CS3 to import RAW images (fixing chromatic abberation on the way into CS3 in 16-bit mode), and then to use Noise Ninja to clean up image noise. With this workflow, ISO 400 and ISO 800 are completely usable. (You can also play with some other settings in Adobe Camera Raw, like Recovery.)
And for everyone: you really should never, ever use a built-in strobe on a camera. The G9 (like the G7) has a hot shoe. Use it!
Canon fixed a bunch of the G7's problems in the G9, the most glaring of which is the G9 now has a battery meter! (I can't tell you how much that lapse bugged me.) The new LCD monitor is much, much bigger -- and gorgeous. And best of all, the camera body is the exact same size and shape, and fits in my underwater housing. (Update: not all the buttons work. The most glaring problem is possibly the zoom can't be changed, and that you can't change to macro mode underwater. I'll probably get the new housing, but the existing one is functional.)
Nits: the new cover for the USB connector is a downgrade, but one that I can put up with. The lens is unchanged, and has a fair bit of barrel distortion at its widest angle. You can clean up the barrel distortion somewhat in CS3, but straight horizontal lines become slightly wavy. I'm being hyper-picky here, but please know that you're not replacing a DSLR with a prime wide angle lens. You're just buying a small camera that you can take anywhere.
Buy it. Shoot lots of pictures with it. Be happy!
Very good.......2007-09-22
This model isn't currently available in my area (DC) but I got it in less than 24hrs after ordering on Amazon (this was with FedEx Ground!). The camera is well built and the controls are easy. So far the picture quality is excellent in all the test shots I have taken. I recommend this camera to anyone with more than just a passing interest in taking pictures.

Customer Reviews:
Great Shredder.......2007-09-22
So far, I am very pleased with this shredder. I have gone through two previous shredders where the motor died for no reason. I decided to spend more this time and based on the others reviews, this seemed like a good deal. It has easy shredded everything I have put in. It also has a nice flip top feature that allows for easier unjamming if you accidently put too many papers in. Just beware, this is a powerful motor but not a quiet one.
Love it!.......2007-09-21
This shredder replaced a very old one that we had. I am very happy with the purchase. I have several boxes of papers to shred from my parent's home and it has performed very well. I love the ability to shred credit card and the easy-to-empty container. I usually feed in 3-4 sheets at a time although the capacity is for up to 12. I have a lot to shred so I'm trying to get more through it before it heats up. The safety feature works wonderfully...I have a young daughter and the minute you touch the area to feed in the paper it stops. I would purchase this shredder again without hesitation.
Satisfactory Product.......2007-09-20
This little beast works as advertised. It can handle a good amount of paper in one session, doesn't jam (as long as you don't try to shove like, 20 pages in at a time), swallows staples without complaint, and easily deals with CDs and credit cards through the special slot.
Like others have commented, my only complaint is the flimsy construction of the base. The shredding unit at the top is significantly more massive than the base. The poor structural rigidity of the base makes it difficult to assemble (even though the assembly itself is quite quick), difficult to move, and difficult to empty and reinsert the waste basket portion. It's nowhere near a fatal flaw, however, but an extra few cents put into manufacturing and this would have been a much sturdier unit.
Overall, I'm quite satisfied and would highly recommend this to anyone seeking to help protect their private information. If you're looking for a powerful shredder at an affordable price, look no further than this unit.
shred for life.......2007-09-20
I feel so much more secure in knowing that all my private information is being destroyed in an acceptably manner. This "Fellowes" shredder is quiet and capable of handling up to a twelve sheet thickness.
Perfect for home use....(probably not for office).......2007-09-20
I'm a full time college student and my sister is a school teacher and we always have so many things to shred. This thing shreds just right, small enough that it is impractical for anyone to read. I've shred papers with staples, cds, old credit cards and it has worked well for me. The basket is large enough to shred for a while that you won't need to dump it out everyday. The frame is a little flimsy though but for the price and performance it has, this definitely makes shredding all sort of things fun. It does occasionally get paper jam though but that's usually only when I feed it a huge stack of papers :(

Programmable financial calculator Comprehensive instruction manual Uses reverse polish notation (RPN)
Amazon.com Review
If you bought yourself a financial calculator during the 1980s, chances are it was this bad boy. Nothing has changed since its introduction--it still uses Reverse Polish Notation (RPN), is easy and versatile in programming, and has a thin, sturdy casing. Certainly, there's been newer, fancier calculators introduced since, but there's something to be said for the quality of classics.
The HP 12C's functions include all the basics--such as calculating APR, NPV, and IRR--and statistics are a snap. For students new to financial calculators, this is an excellent place to start. For the most part, the manual reads like a minitextbook, walking you through sample problems and situations followed by graphs and tables demonstrating the technique--and you can even check your results. The section on creating programs does seem to be written for the technically ignorant, addressing in detail how you could possibly benefit from using programs, but it'll still help you get the job done.
In general, it's a bit slower than newer models, just like last year's computer isn't as speedy as today's new release. On the plus side, it's just 3 by 5 inches and slips easily into a pocket. The bottom is printed with a few little cheat notes for common functions, which is nice for quick reference. The HP 12C's one-year warranty and available tech-support line offer reassurance this little workhorse will continue to be an industry standard for years to come. --Jill Lightner
Pros:
- Pocket size
- Thorough and simple instruction manual
- Competitive price
Cons:
- Calculates more slowly than modern machines

HP12C is the best .......2007-09-24
I had a 15C since my college days (20 years ago) and still works like a charm, so, when I needed a financial calculator I bought 12C knowing I can not go wrong. I find both 12C and 15C to be the best calculators in market for a long long time.
Excellent.......2007-08-29
The best Calculator, in all times. It hasn't change design, since it has been on the market, that means it is a hell of a calculator!
Excellent product.......2007-08-29
The HP12C and other reverse polish calculators made by HP are absolutely the best in the logic (reverse polish method is extremely efficient), quality of design and manufacturing and in durability. This is a product that is designed to last for a long, long time.
Powerful tool no home should be without!.......2007-07-28
This is the only calculator you will ever need...and yes it WILL get you laid
Calculator review.......2007-07-23
This is a great calculator if you can figure it out! Look up Reverse Polish Notation before purchasing, and if you can understand that, then it will make your life easier as you go through the included manual.

Plantronics CT12 2.4 GHz Cordless Headset Phone w/ ID.......2007-09-20
I have owned a similar phone for several years and bought this one as a gift. I like to use it for talking while doing other things like folding clothes, washing dishes, peeling potatoes and working on the computer. I can even walk out to the mailbox while talking on the phone. Love this phone!
Great phones!.......2007-08-31
I tried several headset phones without success ... poor range and battery life seemed inevitable. Then I purchased a CT12, and it worked so well my wife wanted one too! We've had two of them for the last couple years and they have worked perfectly.
The headset is comfortable and it's easy to hear and be heard, it is feather-weight and the battery lasts for hours. They reach all parts of the house and yard, and there's no problem using two of them simultaneously (they completely ignore one another).
What's not to like?
Compact, good quality.......2007-08-29
The item is compact in size which is very convenient. Although the headset doesn't adjust quite small enough for me. Haven't used it much yet, but the sound quality appears to be good. Packed full of features (which I have a hard time remembering how to use). Has several different ringtones, which you can assign to different callers, if you wish. That is a feature I had only had on a cell phone prior to this. Drawback: It is hard to remove from charger with the headset cord attached. Must grab it just right from the top two side edges. Overall, excellent product.
Plantronics CT12 2.4 GHz DSS Cordless Headset Phone with Caller ID.......2007-08-27
This is a great phone!! I bought two of them. My wife and I work from home and are on the phone for hours doing conference calls with our employees and the head office. Half the time I would have to go without a headset so I could hear. The sound clarity is superb and I love the size of the phone and fit of the headset.
The only drawback so far is the buttons are small and unlit - no big deal for me but might be for others.
I will probably by two more for our Florida office so we have them there too.
Should have listened to others.......2007-08-27
I am disappointed with this phone, but mainly that is my fault as I didn't listen to others. The headset is OK (I now know it was not the previous phone that was bad but the fact that I am too close to my wireless router) but it is useless as a regular phone because you can't use it without the headset; which ticks off my wife!!
I guess I should have bought a wireless headset phone.

Amazon.com Product Description
Whether you commute to work or school on the freeway, drive for a living, or just like to go on an occasional recreational trip, the Cobra XRS-9930 Radar/Laser Detector is an invaluable addition to your motor vehicle. Designed for the convenience of 24-hour use, the XRS-9930 has an extra bright full-color digital display that can be dimmed for nighttime driving.

The XRS-9930 detects six different radar signals, including the Ku wavelength band that is widely used in Europe and that has been recently approved for use in the United States. In addition, the XRS-9930 is completely invisible to the VG-2 and Spectre radar detector detectors while it alerts you if either the VG-2 or the Spectre is in use in your area.
The XRS-9930 is also sensitive to four different laser signals, and with its LaserEye feature giving you a 360-degree detection range, you'll always be able to tell if you're driving through a surveillance area. And perhaps most importantly, for your own safety and the safety of other drivers sharing the road with you, the XRS-9930 detects two emergency alert systems to give you advance warning of road hazards, keeping you prepared when emergency vehicles are nearby. In addition to detecting the Safety alert system, the XRS-9930, like most of Cobra's Radar/Laser detectors, offers Cobra's exclusive feature of detecting the presence of the Strobe alert system, which emergency crews use to control traffic signals.
Other features include a voice alert and an easy-to-program menu, as well as power features such as automatic shutdown when you turn your ignition off and a battery voltage display. So get the Cobra XRS-9930 Radar/Laser Detector for your car or truck, and you'll be prepared for just about anything when you're behind the wheel.
Note: Radar detectors can be used without restriction in well over 40 states, but restrictions apply in a few states. Please check with your state department of motor vehicles or highway patrol if you have questions about whether there are restrictions in your area.

Paid for it's self 2 times over in first 20 minutes!!.......2007-09-14
This detector is awesome. I drive from NYC to Albany and back at least twice a week so I figured it was time a invested in one of these. Within 20 minutes of installing it it alerted me to a trooper, speed trapping in the middle of the highway. On the same journey K band must have gone off at least 5 times and every time there was a cop car somewhere nearby. I switch it off in NYC as it just goes off all the time, but it has saved me numerous times subsequently from many a fine. I had a road angel back in the UK a few years ago and this is far superior. I guess technology has moved on since then. I would say I drive about 90MPH most of the time.
Great detector, good price.......2007-09-14
Great radar detetor. and the price is nice.
I got it for just under $100 I signed up for the amazon credit card deal.
I can leave this mounted in my car and not bite my nails about it being stolen, 300 to 400 for other detectors. vs. 100 for this one.
Will this unit out perform a Valentine or a Bel, probably not.
But am I driving a Porche or Corvette? No, I drive a Hyundai.
But I have a long commute and this little gem just keeps me alert to any smokey bear traps along my daily commute.
The compass is nice too.
I've seen a few times where I saw no other cars and the K band starts to alert me, then about 8 seconds later, a local sherriff car crested the hill in front of me, that was cool. I was able to see this unit work.
And it did what its supposed to do.
Pick yourself up the hardwire kit so you free up your lighter socket.
The power cord that comes with it is a tad short but sufficient.
Again for this price its a sound investment.
Wonderful.......2007-09-10
The Cobra XRS-9930 is absolutely a great radar detector. I used it the same week it arrive for a trip to Springfield, IL and it worked great without any issues whatsoever. I highly recommend this unit to anyone.

Dependability at an Affordable Price........2007-09-06
I have used cobra radar detectors for many years. I have been satisfied with their performance and technology. The XRS-9930 is the best radar detector to date and the multi color screen is fantastic. It has saved me from many tickets so far and with Amazon's great price every one should have one. Sure, it doesn't point in witch direction the police are at, but then again your not paying over $300.00!
All the bells and whistles and false alarms galore.......2007-09-03
This radar detector has lots and lots of features. I wish the false alarms weren't one of them. I've ended up disabling many of the detection methods because I haven't found an incidenence when those additional methods saved me. For example, VG2 detection seemed to go off a lot and the only thing I could see is other people with radar detectors anywhere near me. It detects what it says it does, you just need to learn real from fake with this one. I want my low end Whistler radar detector I gave my wife back. When it went off, it was the real deal.

Customer Reviews:
didn't work.......2007-09-22
I recieved the package in good timing, however the product didn't work. I had to return it...and buy a used dell set that works great.
I don't know if it was the product or the seller...but it didn't work out so well.
Good, not great, but not sure what would be better either.......2007-09-21
Overall, I'm happy with the product; it's got a nice look and feel and the mouse and keyboard are comfortable. I downloaded the correct drivers from the logitech site and everything works fine with my macbook pro - no problems with the shortcut keys, etc.
The only complaint I have is that sometimes the USB signal seems slow or seems to have been lost. I have to "reconnect" the mouse sometimes by pushing the signal button on the USB receiver and then on the mouse. I'm not sure if this is due to the mouse itself, or due to the fact that I'm using this with a USB hub and not the USB port on my laptop. I tried it connected directly to the laptop and it seemed a bit better, but still more sluggish than my older logitech laptop mouse. There are only a couple wireless USB options out there for Macs though, if you don't like the Mighty Mouse...
Great!.......2007-09-20
I began researching Mac keyboards/mice because I hate the mouse that came with my Mac and I would rather have a wireless system.
I found this one and decided to purchase even though some of the reviews said it didn't work with the Intel machines. When i got it, I put in the batteries, plugged in the USB, and clicked the connect buttons. Everything worked great - well, the mouse/keyboard basics worked.
Once I went to the Logitech help pages, I found the updated software download for the Intel mac software/drivers. Once that was installed, I had the fully functional setup running right away.
What is really great is that I can just grab the mouse and USB receiver and toss it in my backpack to use at school (they have older macs with worse mice then my iMac came with).
The Mouse itself is very comfortable for my hand and I can finally right-click again. The movement is smooth with or without a mouse pad, and the batteries have not needed to be changed yet (about 6 months so far).
The Keyboard is very thin, which is something I was looking for. Most replacement keyboards seem to be larger then the basic ones - this one is a tad smaller, and about 1/2 as high. I have had no issues with using it, and no keystroke lag at all. Still running on my original set of batteries here too.
For those that care, the form factor of this set looks really good with the white iMac I have. It doesn't look out of place or cheap at all.
A reliable product.......2007-09-19
I purchased this keyboard/mouse combo approximately 3 weeks ago. I have no complaints. It functions reliably. I have my keyboard and mouse in a keyboard drawer slightly below the "receiver." This does not disrupt function. The receiver cord is suitably long, a big plus!
The keyboard and mouse were easy to set up. It's nice having the extra buttons on the side of the keyboard and it's really nice to have a keyboard that doesn't SHOW everything that gets inside of it, like the clear Apple keyboards do! I highly recommend this product!
great.......2007-09-14
This keyboard is great. It's really comfortable, works from sitting on the futon away from the computer. The mouse is nice, too. It's pretty ergonomic, actually. I would highly recommend it.

Works with the Ten Technology naviPlay Bluetooth Adapter.......2007-09-23
Paired this with my Ipod, Moto Q cell phone, and bluetooth adapter Ten Technology naviPlay and it works like a charm. Some signal cutout around high noise areas. Stores etc... You must get this combination to appreciate it. Just tap on the left side of the headphones to answer a call, when it's over just tap again and you are listening to your favorite music or podcast. The only way I could be happier is if the headphones were smaller and weighed a bit less. Technology still in it's infancy and there is sometimes a lapse when switching but you will love not having to mess with those f*&^ing cords!!
Call Jabra first! Don't trust their website compatibility tool! Call!!!.......2007-09-20
I checked Jabra's compatability tool with my Sony Ericsson W300i cell/mp3 player, and was given the all clear, couldn't wait to get it! Paired up with no problems, but will only make and receive calls, no music!!! That was my main reason for buying it! So, I called Jabra and was told that no it would not be able to play music! I love my cell/mp3 player, it's a great phone, and Jabra made it sound like my phone was out of date which it is not at all. When I mentioned that their website tool said it would work I simply got a "sorry". So, make sure you call them or better yet go with your cell phones brand name headset, this has taught me a lesson!
Horrible Sound Quality.......2007-09-17
I have tried these on 2 different cell phones and on my Mac. It paired up with them just fine, however the audio quality was horrible. No low or high end, nor any dimension to the sound. I can't believe more reviewers haven't mentioned how bad the audio quality is. Build quality is fine. However, it's simply unlistenable. I'm returning them.
Really Nice for a Sweet Price.......2007-08-28
I love this headset.
I listen to my iPod via the Jabra music adapter and when I open my LG Wave cellphone, it swaps over. It also works with the phone's Mp3 player; cool. My only problem is the lights, they're REALLY lame.
Incompatible with Blackberry Curve.......2007-08-23
I just got my headphones. They worked for phone calls (with some static), but I couldn't play music through them. The buttons work as far as pausing and skipping songs, but no music through the headphones. I contacted Jabra and found out it isn't compatible with the Curve. Would've been nice to know ahead of time. These are a little expensive to be just a remote control for my phone's music player.
Check the Jabra website before purchasing to make sure they are compatible. Just because your phone supports advanced audio doesn't mean these will work with it.

Super Value, Excellent Reliability.......2007-09-24
I have been a headset user for over 10 years and this has been the most reliable one I have owned. The sound quality is excellent and controls are easy to operate and intuitive. I am frequently on conference calls and the S12 provides a great way to mute your line and stay on the call. The red light lets you know when you are on mute and with the touch of one easy to see button, you are back on. Many current headsets have uncomfortable ear pieces, this one is old school comfortable. My favorite feature is the red blinking light on the opposite side of the mic when on an active call. Basically it tells people who come into your office that, `yes I am on the phone' and not just wearing a headset for fun.
I have used the S12 for many years now and highly recommend for power users.
Great at cancelling out noise.......2007-09-18
I was on a call and my son started talking within 5 feet of me and the person on the other end could not hear him! Wonderful product if you have an at home business or work from home as I do.
It's great product. I love it........2007-09-12
It works fine with office phone. I just needed to re-plug the handset to the unit.
Works well.......2007-08-01
I ordered this headset after it was recommended to me by a friend. It arrived quickly and I was impressed by it's design. It seems very sturdy but that is probably because I am used to much less expensive headsets. It was fairly easy to set up but there seems to be so many cords involved. I also had to purchase a new telephone because it did not work with my cordless telephone.
The sound is great. Very clear on both sides. The noise cancelling feature does work on some background noise but not on all. Also, I don't like the fact that you have to pick up your telephone headset and press a button every time you receive a call--but I guess there isn't much to be done about that.
Good brand, has issues.......2007-07-04
I am frequently told by people that I am talking to that they can not hear me. It's hit or miss as to whether I am heard at a normal tone or a deafening one when I adjust the volume to compensate.
