Great phone tool:
Works great in all apects of how it can be used. Volume controls work well and sounds are great. Callers sound clear and say that I sound clear. Highly recommend this product Good value for the price and features. Great product for one that is on the phone a lot. Also recommend the Plantronics H81 Tristar Voice Tube headset to go with it.
Best amp ever.:
From someone who spends a lot of time on the phone with a keyboard in front of me..this product did exactly what I expected. I am listening to ITunes through the earphones, the phone rings, I pause ITunes and answer the phone. The only drawback is that people never know if I am listening to music or on the phone.
It does work, but not much excitement:
I just bought an MX10 a few days ago. The good news it works. Another good news it came with an AC power adaptop, so I don't need to replace batteries anymore. Here is what I don't like: 1. Price. If you look at this device and at it's price tag, they don't seem to be a good fit.
2. Proprietary head speakers. The amplifier will work with pretty much any desk phone, but it requires proprietary Plantronics head speakers and they are way more expensive then competitors.

The amplifier has a strong hum when used through the phone and when I use it witht eh computer it has such poor sound quality that it doesn't work with my voice rec. software. I called customer service and they said I should send the unit to... more info
