Review on Enhance Your Audio Experience with the Plantronics HW261N Binaural Headset by Dylan Hohd

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works great with T-Coil hearing aids!

I wear a hearing aid and can't hear well with my old headset. I called Plantronics and asked for their recommendation and they recommended either this model or the HW251N mono ear model. Each of these headsets activates the telecoil in my hearing aids. So when I put the headset on my hearing aids, the telecoil activates and I hear all sounds directly through my hearing aids. The sound is very loud and clear. I have to admit that it takes some getting used to the headphones fitting snugly to my ear (and it probably looks very odd), but they do the job as I work from home and still no one sees me carry me My Panasonic wireless desk phone has a 2.5mm headphone adapter so I had to buy a Plantronics quick disconnect cable to connect it, but that's fine. I asked Plantronics about an amplifier for this headset and they said it would not work with a cordless phone. However, I hear clearly, and as long as I hold the noise-cancelling mic to my mouth, people tell me they can hear me very well. I'm not a huge reviewer but felt compelled to post this as I was so happy to find a headset that worked without the inferior accessories from the hearing aid manufacturer.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
