Versatile. Good sound quality. IMO better than similar Panasonic (with the silly foam covered boom mic). Will get uncomfortable for all-day users. Good price. Convenient in-line mute, mic and earpiece volume controls.
This one has a pulsing distortion noise in the earphone, unacceptable again.Guess I'll just cut the short out of my old cord.I wish I'd bought it at Amazon, so I could just drop the return in the mail like the other one. The M214C had unacceptable mic volume, no one could hear me. I bought a Plantronics cordless cordless unit and headset five years ago, both were flawless 'till the headset cord shorted. This is the second Plantronics replacement headset I've bought, and they've both been useless.
It is also durable and a good choice for the heavy business traveller who expects to be on the phone a lot (I routinely have 1-2 hour calls several times a day) and needs a headset that can take the abuse of routine travel (stuffed in briefcase, jacket pockets, etc). While I would only echo the other comments with my accolades for this product, I also wanted to note that, when used in conjuntion with a standard PC splitter for headsets, it also supports Skype and GoToMeeting just as well. etc. A few adapters required, but overall the best solution for every reason: sound quality, comfort, portability, spectrum of communications equipment it pairs with, mute/volume features, noice cancellation, RF buzz reduction, etc. I found a very compact 2.5 to 3.5 mm adapter and use it on my iPhone and office phone as a SINGLE SOLUTION. I spent significant time and effort playing with Bluetooth and other wired headsets and have found this to be simply the best.
I just had the first real conversation with my mother since the last time I saw her in person. I bought this to help me communicate with my 87-year-old mother who is becoming progressively hard of hearing. The improvement was far beyond my expectations.
Get that instead.(Just to be clear, I do own both this and the M214C). By trying to be all things to all people, this headset is a compromise. If you just want something to wear over your head you'll find Plantronics M214C to be better, and half the price.
