Plantronics Headset M130 for Mobile & Cordless Phones — DUPL of ASIN B00001W0E7 Customer Review: Big bang for the buck
I have to say I’m very pleased with this little piece of equipment. I did not have any issues with the microphone volume. In fact I’m using it on its lowest setting and everyone hears me loud and clear. I only gave this four stars because the earpiece is a bit tricky to adjust and have it stay there but once you get the hang of it, piece of cake!
What more can you ask for just 20 bucks!
Customer Review: Unusable
I bought this to replace the headset that came with my cordless phone, which was having intermittent connection problems. I tried talking to several people with the M130, and none of them could hear me. I tried every adjustment I could think of, turned the mic volume up to maximum, and the best results I could get was people could hear a faint voice but could still not understand a word I said. Unfortunately, I bought two of these for my two phones, and they both worked the same, so it seems to be a design flaw. The mic boom is too short and/or the mic amplification is way too low.

Customer Review: Very disappointed
I purchased this for an elderly parent. He loved the loud ringer and the phone looks very nice. It appeared to come partially assembled so that we could not hang on the wall - left us wondering if we actually got a new one or previous repair. We then realized that none of us could hear well on it. Boost feature does work, but TALK button does not change colors to warn those with normal hearing that it’s on - volume of speaker on other end fluctuated up and down in volume. Also, when speaking into mouthpiece it sounds like you’re in a tunnel - noise in your setting seems to amplify in the earpiece adding to the frustration. The volume control is easy to use, but increases the ‘noise’ along with the voice. The tone control appeared to do nothing and was a disappointment. We tried to use it for several days but decided that, aside from the loud ringer, it was useless. We’ve returned it and will try again, but it certainly won’t be a Clarity phone this time. Maybe we just got a lemon. And Amazon is great, as usual.
Customer Review: Relieved
I bought this phone for my mother who is 85 and VERY hard of hearing. She has had other phones for the hearing impaired but was not able to hear very well. She was constanly trying to adjust her hearing aid. With this phone she can hear clearly, I don’t have to yell into the phone, and she actually hears it ring, answers on the frist call, instead of me having to leave several messages, or stop what I was doing to go to her house to check on her. Now she can have a normal conversation without trying to guess what was said, or missing out compleatly. She is happy therfore so am I.

Customer Review: Limited Clarity
This is a great cordless phone as long as you don’t wander more than one room away from the charging station. The range of the phone is my biggest complaint. I literally find it difficult to go more than one room away without loosing reception. For the price, you think they would do something to improve this feature!
Customer Review: Phone doesn’t ring
We’ve been through two of these phones now and most of the time they don’t ring. Other phones in our house wlll ring but not this one. Bought it for my mother who has to wear hearing aids. The volume is good but the clarity is not that good. Would not recommend this phone.
