Review:lf you are on the phone for hours a day, the benefits of a headset over a handset become clear--especially if it is as light and comfortable as the Plantronics T10 model. This phone uses a corded headset, which decreases mobility somewhat, but it is unusual in that it comes with every accessory you'll need to use the headset in an over-the-head or over-the-ear configuration.
lnstalling this phone is child's play. A standard telephone cord (included) connects the small base unit to a wall jack, and the headset cord connects to the front of the unit. No power cord is necessary. Plantronics used a standard telephone jack interface for the headset but wisely used light headphone cable instead of bulky telephone cord on the unit. This helps keep the headset's already low weight to a minimum. They've also thoughtfully included a small alligator clip on the headset cord so you can clip it to a shirt pocket and keep the cord from brushing your face as you move.
As mentioned, the headset microphone and speaker unit can be attached to an ear hook or a headband. The headband is very light and highly adjustable, but we preferred using the ear hooks. Plantronics packages three different sizes of hooks with the device, so there's bound to be one that fits. The hooks sit on your ear instead of using a clamping mechanism, and the entire assembly is so light and unobtrusive that we were able to forget it was there after a few minutes. The microphone is the type that extends to your cheek instead of in front of your lips, so you don't have to deal with it bumping against your lips when you talk. For all these reasons, we were able to wear the headset all day without it getting in the way or making us look like extras from a bad sci-fi movie.
As for the sound quality, it was great under most circumstances. The microphone is so sensitive that it can pick up the hum of a computer if it's pointed in that direction, so this may not be the best solution for noisy environments. For typical office use, the T10 is great as long as you don't need a lot of advanced features on the base, such as two-line input or caller lD.

:The Plantronics T10 complete single-line telephone with convertible headset is the complete telephone solution with lots of handy features to meet your demands for comfort and practicality. For comfort preferences, the convertible headset can be quickly configured for over-the-head or over-the-ear style. The tone-control dial lets you personalize the bass and treble of the headset sound, and the listen-volume dial lets you adjust the incoming sound level. The contoured keypad is designed to be accessible and user friendly. Another feature is the online indicator, which illuminates when the headset is in use to let others know that you are busy. The T10 comes with a headset stand that provides convenient storage for the headset when it is not in use. Since the T10's cable connects to existing telephone jacks, installation of your T10 is simple.

I work as a phone interpreter and I like the simplicity and ease of dialing of this phone. That said, the ear piece doesn't seem to convey sound well so sometimes I have to ask clients to speak up. Also, the mute button makes a slight click sound that I suspect is audible to the other party so they probably know when I press it, which is often. If it weren't for that, I'd love this phone.
I also heard that these headset-type phones are bad for the ear. I have heard anecdotes of veterans in the field suffering hearing loss, but these are not confirmed. They recommend getting a regular old phone with the Y-brace attachment (if you need your hands free to take lots of notes).

not well satisfied
for some reason the audio is not loud enough for me, my old plantonics headset phone was twice the loudness of the audio. I guess I need to buy an amplifier to make it louder...

This product is an excellent telephone system device that is flexible to fit around my ears, and I can have the microphone or mouthpiece close to my mouth. Additionally, it has an appealing front face telephoe pad that lights up when a call comes through, and lights in attractive green and red colors. The sound of the rings have a tone and spacing between them of a business phone ring; the sound is distinctively of a professional office ring tones, if you will. Hope you enjoy this famous brand; and the quality of Plantronics for their well-known phone features.

Poor sound quality
The headset is very comfortable and it comes with two options. The over the head one, and over the ear. The big problem is the sound quality. There's something like a buzzing sound when you are on a call. The noice stops when you press the mute button. If you need good sound quality, look for another phone.

I use this for long and frequent conference calls with a moderator who is very sensitive to unwanted noises on the line, and haven't had any negative comments from her or anyone else. If you're making long calls from your home office the Plantronics T10 is the way to go.
