Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Plantronics Cordless Headset Phone - CT14Customer Review: Plantronics CT14 an excellent phone Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased my Plantronics CT14 Cordless Headset Phone from Fry's Electronics (a consumer electronics and appliance store in California, USA) for $97.99 in June of 2009. Today's date is December 16, 2009, nearly six months later. In a few words, I love this phone! Moreover, I'm a very picky person so a product really needs to work well before I'm enthused enough to write good things about it. Please take a look at my other reviews, in particular the review I wrote eight years ago on the Panasonic KX-TG2570B Cordless Phone, that phone was a complete fiasco to say the least.
I bought the CT14 phone because my girlfriend and I love to talk for hours each morning. She calls me at 5AM and we usually talk until 8AM every weekday, sometimes we continue talking until 9AM. We average at least 2.5 to 3 hours each morning of the weekday. During the past six months I told her that I was so happy with this phone that she ought to buy one too, she did a few months ago and we've both consistently used this phone daily. So, rest assured that this review comes with six months of daily experience. Keep in mind, however, that I only use the phone to talk so I haven't used the features very much (hey, I just want to talk to my girlfriend, not play with the phone!). Anyway, on with my review.
The battery life is absolutely and without any doubt excellent! How I wish other consumer electronics could be relied upon like the Plantronics CT14! I've never drained the battery to the point of it needed to be charged. I never think about battery life, ever! Once we talked for the usual three hours, then I forgot to place the phone in the charging cradle and the next morning we talked for another three hours and my battery never ran out of juice. I love it!
I have no problems with audio. The headset uses a microphone that is extended toward your mouth making it easy to pick up one's voice even if they talk softly. I haven't had a problem with volume at my end. Audio quality is a big deal to me (again, take a look at my previous review).
Like I said, I haven't used features much, just the mute, volume and some kind of scrolling function used to see who called during the day when I was out. I can't give a proper review of these features other than saying the two features I did use were intuitive.
I also cannot comment directly on range, because I live in a very small 750 sq. ft. one bedroom apartment and therefore the phone is never very far from its base However, my girlfriend who has the same phone has walked all over her house (it's a large house - 2000 to 2400 sq. ft. - at least). She's even taken the phone outside the house out on the street while talking to me, neither of us noticed any degradation in quality. I conclude the range is definitely good.
I'm now buying another CT14 to give to my mother for a Christmas present (the reason why I'm on Amazon!).
Overall I definitely give this product five stars! I gave four stars for range and features, but as stated I really can't review features and have indirectly experienced decent range. Anyway, that concludes my review and I hope they never change a thing, because this phone just works beautifully!
