Review on Enhance Communication with TRIPRO 4 Pin RJ9 Telephone Headset for Landline Desk Phones (H800D) by Jane Crawford

Revainrating 5 out of 5

CHEAP AND WORKS GREAT FOR ITS PURPOSE

I had Jabra wireless earbuds on my phone for ten years and they eventually died. It would be too expensive to replace (the cost has more than doubled for similar headphones). I use it occasionally at home when I need a headset to free my hands. I went the low-tech route and used wired headphones with the "Handset" switch set to "Headphone". These headphones have a smaller RJ-9 style handset plug and when plugged into my phone's handset jack it worked perfectly (the headset has a built in control that allows you to select the 'mode' appropriate for your specific phone and speaker is best suited volume control). I bought a switch (GN Netcom DanaSwitch) from Hello Direct that allows me to switch between handset and headset. (The switch costs more than a headset - the switch's RJ-9 plug plugs into the handset port and has 2 RJ-9 ports for the handset and headset, the toggle switch selects one or the other) The setup works fine for me and costs about a quarter of the cost of replacing the radio module.

Pros
  • Done
Cons
