GN Netcom 4170 Headset Telephone

When I first bought this phone it seemed perfect, but then after a month of use people were saying that it was hard to hear me and they sounded muffled to me as well. I would try to turn up the volume and then received complaints that there was a lot of static on the line.

A great product. I use it for my work at home business and it works great.

Amazons price was the best I found over several days of looking. The headset phone also works better than any others I have tried to date, the main problem has been finding one that is wired (must have wired for security) and one that has good volume. I run a small Customer Service Office and the Headset Phone is the most important piece of equipment I own, without it I could not do business. Well worth buying.

I work from home and use this phone for all my customer service projects. I have no problems hearing anyone and can adjust the volume if I get a customer that is too loud. The customers never have issues with hearing me either. This phone also offers a mute button which is a much needed option when working. I would highly recommend this phone to anyone.

This headset phone is exactly what I need for my home office. I do not understand why the sound quality on this is so poor compared to a normal cheap handset phone (and yes, I've tested with cheap handset on the same line). This phone adds a fair amount of noise (more of a hum/buzz). With volume & tone control (a nice plus), it is usable but still annoying. If they improve this phone to have normal basic handset type sound quality, I would give this product a 5.
