Plantronics CS70N Wireless Headset

Journalists, stockbrokers, and phone sex workers have one thing in common: We all spend a lot of time on the phone, making cauliflower ear and a permanently

Weighs less than an ounce. Simple on-off button engages headset (and answers the phone, with optional handset lifter). Works with standard office and IP phones. Estimated 6 hours of battery life is long enough for all but your most agonizing...

Volume buttons difficult to locate and press without mashing your tender ear cartilage. Secondary volume and microphone sensitivity controls are located, inexplicably, on the back of the base unit where they're equally hard to find

Review: Plantronics CS70N Wireless Headset – Because being stuck at your desk sucks

All right, All right … so you're sitting there thinking to yourself, who starts a review of what is obviously a professional product with a title like that. Well, for one – I do, and for two, it got your attention didn't it?

You can read more about the CS70N on the Plantronics website and if you so desire it can be purchased directly from Plantronics as well.

Plantronics CS70N Wireless Headset System with Lifter

I highly recommend this item to anyone who is considering the purchase of a wireless headset. I was able to install everything within minutes and was able to use the headset after letting it charge for a mere 20 minutes. I initially questioned whether...

Very easy to set up, has great sound quality, and the convenience of being able to answer/end a call without touching the phone is fabulous

The earpiece itself could stand to be a bit smaller, but it is lightweight and comfortable enough for all-day use

Plantronics CS70N Wireless Headset System with Lifter

This headset is comfortable easy to use easy and to setup and works really well. I have no overall complaints with the headset although I do feel Plantronic's sometimes takes advantage of their place as the best in the market by charging as such.
