Headset Headphone Hands-Free + Microphone Compatible for Only Avaya 9608 9608g 9620l A1608-i J139 J169 J179 IP VIOP Home Office Work Desktop Telephone Black

I'm the phone receptionist, among other things, where I work, and I have the Avaya 9608 admin phone. This headset is saving me a fortune in chiropractic bills! Since I'm continually multitasking, I HAVE to answer the phone while doing other stuff, and the headset makes it a LOT easier.Pros:- It was easy to install- Super-easy to operate- there's no remote, but you just use the "headset" button on the phone itself to answer calls. All of the controls are through the phone, so it's really simple- Sound quality does not suck! I can hear the callers really, really well, and they hear me just fine, so long as the mic is positioned reasonably close to my mouth- I no longer have to try to cradle a handset on a shoulder while typing or doing everything else I gotta do in the course of a dayCons:- The headband is waaaay too big. I have really short hair, and a small head- the band is ridiculously large! However, I've found that if I wear this thing at an angle, and kinda tuck the "dummy" end of the headband behind my right ear, it stays on and isn't uncomfortable.- The cord isn't all that long. It does stretch, but I use a standing desk half of the time, and it limits my "reach", so to speak If I'm standing and using the headset, the distance to the phone on my desk is greater, and I don't have as much room to move in another direction. I'm not gonna dilute the signal by adding an extension to this cord. I suspect that it won't work all that great, if I do- but it does limit movement, and that's slightly annoying.Other things to note: I am using this on a 9608 WITH A SIDECAR, which means I have the power booster pack on this phone, and this may be part of why the headset works so well with it. I am not sure whether this works so great with the standard low-powered setup, but it absolutely does, with the added power pack, and the switch on the back (the IEEE switch) set to High (H setting). The other thing is, for the price, this ROCKS. I've already recommended it to the gal who does phone reception at our other large store, since we're all on the same system. Great buy for the price, and it actually WORKS! Hope this review helps someone else. :)

I love this for work but sometimes it seems like the person on the other end has a lot of trouble hearing me even though the microphone part is right up to my mouth. I sometimes have to cup my hand around it while I talk. I can hear them fine, they just have trouble hearing me at times. It still beats trying to cradle the phone on my shoulder....that was causing shoulder and nerve issues so I won't complain!!!UPDATE!! After using it for 7 months, it is now malfunctioning. It randomly picks up the phone without me pushing any buttons. It also has decided to be very static and the person on the other line is not able to hear me.

Used for less than a year and it won’t work anymore. So annoying.

Just got it and it works GREAT! Used it for 2 telephone interviews I needed to conduct and I could hear the candidates clearly. It's comfortable and comes with an extra ear thing as a replacement. Cord is long enough and just plug it in and talk! I've already told my IT Dept so if anyone else is looking for a headset, they can tell them about this one. The previous one I had, wireless and expensive, was awful. Sounded like people were in a tunnel. It's sitting in my storage cabinet - unused. Glad I found this one.

This headset worked great but at the smallest setting it was too big for my head. I'm only returning because it doesn't fit properly and keeps falling off.

I needed something for work and saw this headset- thought it would be good for what I needed. This headset is flimsy , the cord is short. I’m unable to adjust the headset to my head size! I can make it bigger but not smaller so in all honesty it don’t work for me. The ear pad on the set is very comfortable , hook up to the phone was easy! The interception isn’t that great either. Will definitely be looking for something else! Not going to worry about returning it.

Excellent hands free headset that work great with the Avaya model 9608G phone.Based on the cheap price, I was not anticipating something that worked this good.The overall construction is good and the sound quality at both ends is good as well.Since purchasing the first set, we have purchased several more sets for others in our office. All of which have worked great. Just plug then into the headset jack on the back of the phone and you are ready to go, nothing more to do.It would have been nice if they offered a headset dual headphones to block out more background noise. I did inquire, but they don't.Overall, myself and others using them in our office, are happy with them.

Good
