Comments about Jabra C500 Corded Headset:

This is perfect for my cordless phone at home that doesn't have bluetooth capability. It's more comfortable than holding the phone to my ear and lets me do other things while on the phone.

Comments about Jabra C500 Corded Headset:

I purchased this device for my father, who is a sales rep and truck driver for a potato chip company. He really needs the freedom to use his hands without having to hold a phone. This product seemed the best choice for the following reasons:1. Value - It was[$] and was well made.2. Easy to Use - Having the Send/End button on the actual headset enables him to stuff the cord in his shirt so it can't snag things with it but still has access to the buttons unlike headsets with the mic on the cord.3. Corded - He preferred corded for two reasons. One, no need to worry about battery life. Two, no need to worry about radioactive waves going into the brain. Unlike bluetooth headsets which give off radiowaves just like a cell phone, corded headsets do not act as a transmitter so its safer.(I don't worry about such things but at his age he worries about everything.)I only have two problems with the device and they are minor. One, a very small mute switch. Two, effective noise cancellation. This may seem like a good thing, because a sensitive microphone in order to be practical must filter out the backround noise. But my father is not a loud individual, and since the mic is not a long boom mic, he can't simply speak at a comfortable tone. He has to be reminded by persons on the other line to constantly speak up. The side effect has been that even when he is not on the phone, he stills shouts for no good reason. Thanks Jabra! Overall an excellent product despite some minor issues.
