Plantronics M214C Headset - Over-the-head - M-214C

The order came very quickly and the product worked fine right out of the box. My only concern is that some people on the other end have said that our voice wasn't very loud (the volume setting is cranked up to the max).

For the cost of this headset the quality is unbeatable. It is comfortable, versatile and the sound quality is perfect. If you do not need noise cancelling, look no further than this item. I spend over 8 hours a day on conference calls and bought this as a backup for when my jawbone headset battery died. I now use this headset exclusively when in the office.

I ordered this headset because of the over-the-head rather than clip-on-the-ear configuration. Also, I prefer the longer boom-style mike configuration. The headset works as advertised and was delivery was timely.

I use this headset with a desk phone that has a 2.5mm jack. It works perfectly. For a small step up in price over the many cheap options out there, this is definitely worth the price. It has a switch that amplifies your voice. This overcomes the problem I had with most headset in that I could hear everyone, but they couldn't hear me. Of course it has the ear volume adjustment and mute, but I just use the phone's mute button. The quality is good. I don't expect the wires to pull apart like they have on other headsets.

I recently purchased an inexpensive headset from a large electronics store and the quality and performance was poor. This Headset costs the same but has many more features and the sound & clarity of my voice is amazing. I love the ability to control the microphone & speaker volume from the headset controls (and mute as well). It is comfortable too. Well worth the price.

Others were able to cleary hear me with the headset. The volume/mute buttons are easily accessible while wearing the headset. I'm very satisfied with the product overall.

Many years ago I moved away from Plantronics headsets and went with Jabra products because they performed better in terms of being able to hear the voice on the other end, and having a microphone that provided enough response and clarity so the person on the other end could hear what you were saying. I had been using a Jabra C650 and people were always asking me to speak up so I got this Plantronics M214-C and it just works flawlessly. My only concern is how long the plastic headband is going to work before it breaks. Only time will tell.

The M214C Cordless Phone headset is another quality Plantronics product. Its light, comfortable over the ear and the sound quality is acceptable. This particular model comes with a very convenient mute switch right on the wire which is more practical than the mute function of my telephone (also a Plantronics.) On the other side of the mute switch is a volume wheel and a switch to lower the microphone volume. That is the only issue I have with the product. If you want clear sound you better pump up the volume all the way to the max, otherwise you will be dealing with a faint signal. The mic switch is just as useless. Obviously for the price one cannot expect a built in amplifier, but it seems a bit misleading to advertise a volume control when in fact this is just a fader wheel. By that I mean that it will lower the volume but it will not enhance it. Other than the volume issue, the headset is a winner.

I was replacing a Plantronics headset and needed it fast. I got exactly what I wanted for a great price and it came really quickly. Really good shopping experience.

Great wired headset and great value. I use it on my home wireless phone as well as my cell phone in the car. Used bluetooth with great satisfaction but recently lost my charger and didn't have the money to replace it. Pros: 1. doesn't require batteries or charging 2. long wire that can be slipped under clother for talking while working around the house 3. noise cancelling apears to work well--outside of that has pretty good sound although a little sharp on the receiving end 4. very comfortable Cons: 1. wire 2. big, bulky and conspicuous

I work from home, and this headset is fabulous and comfortable. I have small dogs, and recently, one was barking nearby. I asked my friend on the other end of the line if she could hear him, and she said, "Very faintly." He was actually only about 20 feet from me, outside, and with the door open! With the door closed, she could not hear him at all, but I obviously could. Therefore, the noise-canceling microphone passed the test with flying colors! I also like the mute option. On other headsets, you have to hold down the mute button for it to stay muted. This one has a sliding switch to remain on mute. It's great for those conference calls that I have to listen in. My phone has a mute option, but you have to push two buttons to activate mute on the phone (Uniden DCT-648 aka. DCX-640), and this mute on the headset is much more convenient and quicker to activate. I purchased the convertible headset, Plantronics M175, and saw an identical one, Panasonic TCA98. I promptly returned it, because the over-the-ear option did not work well at all. It kept falling off my ear. With the over-the-head option, it worked all right, but why pay the extra expense if one of the two options doesnt work well?
