Plantronics Mirage Polaris P41-U10P Headset

Advantages: Lightweight, Easy to use, Comfortable
Disadvantages: Amplified Background noise, separate amplifier required for good volume control

...and the volume of the phone could only increase this marginally. As such, I would highly recommend using an amplifier (also from Plantronics) between the headset and the phone. This allows the volume to be controlled fully and removes this as a potential downfall of the equipment. One of my complaints with the headset is that the microphone appears to be more sensitive to background noise, compared to the tradtitional handset. On a small number of calls I have reverted to using the traditional handset over the headset due to the noise interference, however this does not happen often. Overall, I would highly recommend this headset.... Read review

Advantages: Sleek, original design, great handsfree device
Disadvantages: can fall off head now and then, also quite flimsy

...COST: £6.28 PLACE OF PURCHASE: The Link BRAND: Plantronics SIZE: 11cm These are wicked new handsfree devices suitable for all mobiles, and was released earlier this year. I've been using mine whenever I get the chance and have since didtched the motorola headset I was previously using.

My favourite part about this is not only does... Read review

Advantages: Noise reduction, comfortable, fully adjustable
Disadvantages: Cord not long enough!

...This is possibly the best headset I've ever used. As it has dual earpieces, the noise of a busy sales office is cut down considerably. Also, the padded foam means that it sits comfortably on your ears and the adjustable head band fits from very small to very large heads! It simply plugs into a headset socket in the back of a telephone (if supported) or unplug the handset and replace with the headset. You do, however, still need to lift the handset to answer the call, but both hands are free during the call. Unfortunately, the cable supplied is not long enough, but I believe that it's possible to obtain longer cables. All in all, I'd give it 9 out of 10... Read review
