The Mobile Phone Saving Network

The Plantronics lightweight headset is designed to free your hands while you drive or work with a wireless phone. Though the unit's noise-canceling microphone makes it especially suitable for calls placed over a cell phone, it's also appropriate for use with traditional office phones.

Recipients of our phone calls reported no annoying disturbances or distortions during conversation, and audio quality on our end was clear as well, if a bit muffled. The headset works best on phones that feature good volume controls, because the microphone adjust switch raises and lowers the volume in a very narrow range.

The M175 also has the nifty feature of converting from a headband to an over-the-ear-style headset. Unfortunately, this also makes for a somewhat flimsy construction. Pieces immediately began falling off the unit as soon as we removed it from its packaging, though snapping the components back in place took little effort.

Overall, the Plantronics M175 headset is a versatile, quality headset for those looking for a hands-free way to work with their mobile or cordless phones. --John Frederick Moore

Simple to use. Does what it should	Rating: 5
This is a basic, easy to use, and versatile headset. I use one for my office phone and one for my cell phone. I've configured one to work with the "over the head" band and another with the ear clip. Both work very well. Great value for the money!

Excellent all purpose headset	Rating: 5
I like "over the head" headsets. They feel more secure. I especially like this one because I can use it on my cell phone and on portable phones around the house. I like being able to mute, change the volume on the ear-piece, and change the volume on the speaker without touching the phone.

Highest Quality Headset I've Owned	Rating: 5
what more can I say. it's the best headset I've ever used.
