Gn 4800 Base with Gn 2000 Headset Wideband Hi Fi Dual Use Review

I purchased this online from Officemax on a closeout. I was really interested in this since I use Vonage VOIP. My wireless handset is OK but since I sit by the computer most of the day, I wanted a better headset that would filter some of the ambient noises.
When I received the headset, I immediately set it up on my Macbook Pro. With iTunes, the Stereo was fair quality (not the best) but that doesn't matter too much since I listen to talk radio most of the day. The headset is lacking in bass, but again, not an issue with me. I installed the Vonage Companion app and it worked just fine. I made some calls with it and the line quality/voice quality was MUCH better than using my standard hand set. One thing I noticed immediately was I could actually hear people who were using hands free kits while they were driving. This has always been an issue. My wife drives all day and she uses a bluetooth hands free kit. I never could have a good conversation with her because the hands free on her side was so cr@ppy. She always sounded like she was in a well. The GN 4800 handset improved that issue to where I could actually have a conversation without getting frustrated and straining to hear her.
I tested the handset with iChat. Again, a fantastic improvement over using the built in mic and speakers. My buddy even noted that he could he me with improved quality.
Overall I am very pleased with this product. While I purchased this for $50.00, even at $75.00-$100.00 it's worth the money in my experience.
I especially like the fact that I can hear calls without a lot of the ambient noise I was accustomed to.
The only con I have for this is the bass. I'd love to hear more base while listening to music but this isn't a deal killer for what I need this for.

IPEVO TR-10 Review

Overall: pretty compact, easy to use, good voice quality, good recording quality.

I bought this because I'm always on the road, and I wanted to add more interviews to my podcast. It's just super hard to get a recording software - and this comes with free recording software.

I also found out that this can be plug and play for other sofware - so I've used it to conference call with the company's Xlite (without the driver). So without the driver, you get the speakerphone and microphone; with the driver, you get to use the accept call/decline call buttons, the iChat launch button, the mute button, and the record/stop recording buttons.

The recording software is not the most beautiful thing you've ever seen - the interface is a no-frills deal, but it does what it's set out to do: you push the button, and start recording your conversation. Then it's all stored on your HD. I record mine in mp4 so I can edit in GarageBand before podcasting.

So all in all, it's a pretty nifty tool.

Pc USB Stereo Headset Multi Media with in Line Mute Review

This is a great headset.The USB connection is easy and makes it more portable.It is great for VOIP or gaming commutations, i.e. Ventrilo or Team Speak.The only problem the phones have is that the ear cups are a little stiff to start with.If they were softer I would have rated the head set higher.

Linksys-Cisco SINGLE FXS RJ11 ANALOG ADAPTER ( SPA1001 ) Review

I purchased this router from other sellers on Amazon for almost half the price. I was initially skeptical if this would work as advertised.

I had trouble in initial setup, as the manual which came with the router was no good, i had to search online, but luckily i could find a good forum online which reports step by step instructions and also lists all the difficulties..


I had also upgraded to latest firmware and once i setup, it worked excellent, no issues. I strongly recommend this product.

Snom 360 Review

I am a SNOM 360 user since3+ years and its still amazing me like on the first day how excellent the voice quality is.

The telephone allows to manage twelve provider accounts. Most cheap phone have one or two. While generally these is enough being able to manage several accounts allows you to easily swap your provider on the touch of a button.

Especially when the promised voice quality is not what you expect from the connection you will find that its also strongly influenced by the providers used technology (compressions, protocols etc.)

The Snom 360 delivers me crystal clear connections even with less reliable providers. Often friends ask us if we are nearby as the quality is so good.

With the phone being targetted at business users you can be rest assured its a reliable partner.

The phone even allows you to program and run your own applications. I remember there was a promotion appplication that you could check the Worldcup results from the touch of a button and browse through the result table.

While the display size does not compare to Ciscos, Avaya etc. it is illuminated which makes it easy to see in darker environments.

Support is basically only through the wiki or the dealer.
That might be an issue at the beginning while trying to find out which ports you have to open on the firewall etc.

Wiki support might not be enough for non technical users, but consider that technical smart users are able to upgrade from firmware version 3.x.x to the latest 7.3.4 without any extra cost.

As you can imagine going from 3.x.x to 7.3.4 the phone made HUGE heaps in terms of usability, reliability and quality.

The price might not be as reasonable as budget makers but that will be forgotten by the time you start to use the phone. ;-)The most important questions:
Would I buy the same phone again ? Yes
Why ? I am convinced of the Snom quality
(also the support is basically only wiki support for end users)

Snom 870 Review

A note to all, the description states grey (the phone is actually light grey which is in the Amazon picture), but black is shipped. I don't know if Amazon will correct this, I tried to contact them but they don't get the problem. The phone itself is fantastic looking and does a lot and is very easy to configure. I love the way you can click on any "?" and it brings you to the web page with the description of the field. But I will have to return and buy from somewhere else since Amazon does not seem to have the color that matches their description and picture.

Snom Dect Repeater Review

This device allows the already robust cordless handset (Snom M3 Complete Set) reach twice the distance.The handsets already were capable of reaching through a stonewall, through an intervening building, into a third building.We wanted to be able to get through the third building to an adjacent green space.By adding this small device in the third building, we got much more extra area than we needed.Voice quality did not seem to be diminished despite the relay required.

I believe the device could be connected to PoE to avoid having to run 110V to the transformer.The transformer's cord attaches via a standard RJ-45.I don't remember the voltage output by the transformer.

As I recall in my research (several months ago), all repeaters must connect to the base station.Thus with three repeaters you could cover up to twice the distance from the base station in different directions.You cannot go three times the distance in one direction.
