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.

I was excited about this product when I bought it. The earpiece was wonderfully comfortable. However, the microphone was useful only if I was in a quiet location. Road noise, wind, or any background noise garbled what I was saying, and my voice was unintelligible to the other person.

Comments about Jabra C500 Corded Headset:

My Jabra fits comfortably and has very good reception. I didn't want a Blue Tooth, so this is just right for me. Now my daughter can reach me when I'm late to pick her up and I can safely answer her, hands free.

Be sure to set your volume to low when using it!
