It does what I want -- it leaves my hands free to work while I'm on the phone. It works pretty well all over my house, with occasional noise, probably caused by the fact that the headphone cord doubles as an antenna. I don't use other cordless phones so I can't say how it compares. I've been told by someone with Call Waiting (my sister) that she can't answer a new call without losing the old one -- maybe it doesn't flash the hook switch fast enough. Plantronics told her that this is a known flaw in the design. Also, for the person who got headaches from the earpice not fitting: If you get replacement pads for the stereo headphones known as "ear buds" that fit right in your ear, the earpiece might be more comfortable and won't fall out.
