Panasonic KX-TCA93 Wireless phone/Cellphone Headset

 (20 customer reviews)

Hard to keep on your ear and then adjust mouthpiece. Not very loud even with volume turned all the way up. Caller on other end detects a funny background noise.

I wanted to disagree with the other reviewers on this headset. Maybe I just got a good one, but the one I've had for the last 4 years has been one of the most reliable and best headsets I've ever used. I know other people who in that same time have used and destroyed 8 other headsets (average of 2 per year) and mine still works as well as the day I bought it.

I use it at least 2 hours a day with a Panasonic cordless phone (a coincidence, I had been using Jensen headsets before I bought this one). During this time, I've dropped the phone so many times I've stopped counting, each time resulting in the headset being yanked out of the phone.

Are there issues, yes. It's a bit too quiet for my tastes and I could see how it would be a bit hard to adjust for height. I'm lucky, the boom hits in just the right place and no one has ever complained.

Comfort and sound quality were excellent. Mute button and volume dial on the cord were very convenient and always worked. I never heard buzzing in the background, and if volume was ever an issue, all I had to do was turn up volume on the cordless phone it was plugged into.

I used this very heavily, often for hours per day, on virtually every business day for 3+ years. Just today, it broke. But to get 3+ years of service out of something like this, I'm very impressed. Easily worth the price.

UPDATE: The second one that I purchased lasted close to 2 years. I'm now on number 3.
