Horrible Sound Quality Jul 09, 2010
I wish I read the reviews before I purchased. I got this mainly for the wireless headset as I have a home office and move around a lot. No matter where I am in the home office, distance to hub or other electronics, the mic on the headset picks up every little sound. As one co-worker told me, it sounded like I was in a washing machine.

Poor sound quality May 20, 2010
I have been pleased with the overall design and performance, but have been disappointed by the sound quality. I can easily tell when I call into this phone. Its a shame because this is just about the only cordless with a true hands-free option.

Love the freedom and long talking time Mar 04, 2010
I've been using this model phone for 2 1/2 years. I work at home and spend sometimes 6 hours a day on calls. The headset will give me about 6 hours of talk time between charges. The range is excellent. I can walk anywhere in my house and even out to the front or back yard and still be in range. The sound quality is good, but could use a little improvement. I've never gotten an echo or static, though if I do go outside, the faintest hint of a breeze causes noise to the listener, so I guess I can't work from my patio.

The headset construction quality is the downfall. After about a year I needed to replace the headset battery. It had expanded as others have noted. The local Batteries Plus store didn't carry it, but I found a replacement easily and cheaply online. The headset stopped working after 1 1/2 years of use. It's correct that you cannot buy a replacement headset, so I did buy another complete phone. I figure at $120 for 1 1/2 years of use, it was a pretty good deal. I'm now 6 months in to my second phone.

I searched all over for a wireless headset and couldn't find any others that have a truly wireless headset AND wireless handset. Some have a cordless handset, with a wired headset. Others are just wireless headsets, but to place calls you have to go back to your computer or your desk phone and you need a handset lifter. There is one other brand now that has a cordless handset and headset and some very nice VoiP and Outlook integration features, but it is twice the cost. Since I find the cordless freedom essential to my virtual office, I'll probably buy the other brand next time - my work will pay for it.

Overall this is an effective product for the money for your cordless freedom, as long as you understand that its life is limited and it's lacking in advanced features.

Heartbroken over Headset Breaking!! Feb 13, 2010
I bought this unit about 4 years ago because of the headset being wireless. Really, that was the one feature that was most needed, and this was the one unit in this price range that had a wireless headset. I didn't think the over-the-ear clip would be comfortable, and it wasn't. Too heavy, and as a previous reviewer said, that makes sense with an entire mouthpiece/microphone built in. I did find the over-the-head band comfortable, although taking it off would get it tangled up in my hair sometimes. Oh, well. I used the phone happily for years, and the headset did sort of "flimsy-out", losing the little mike-cover bud thing after a while. The band ultimately broke beyond supergluing. I thought, "well, buy a replacement!" right? I have looked everywhere, and I cannot locate one. This phone says RCA, Visys, but it is pictured under Plantronics. The gal at plantronics said it was impossible; that all Plantronic stuff was labeled with their name. I need to have a good quality phone with headset, as I work at home and often do conference calls, but my coworkers do not use VoIP. I tried a cheapo-generic headset, and I can't stand the fuzzy sound. I am simply going to replace the whole unit, which sounds like an unAmerican decision in this economy, but I am spoiled; I need a good unit. My ear-bud unit for my cell phone isn't as clear as this, and it cost 3X as much!

Nice for the price but unreliable Feb 03, 2010
Got our second unit for my wife at Christmas. First one died after about 1.5 years. This one has lasted only 6 weeks. Sending in for warranty work tomorrow. I have a high end GN Netcom (now GN Jabra I believe) for work that cost $300+ at the time. Hard to justify that for home use so this RCA is pretty compelling for a buck ten. But I guess you get what you pay for. Price is right and other than quality they work great. Just cross your fingers you get a unit that might last a year or two.
