Works very wellStrengths: Clear, you can use headset or ear piece, mute. Volume and tone controls. Weakness: Could be a little softer on your ear. This is an overall solid product. It is comfortable, and the features are great. I like the clarity, you can use the ear piece or convert to the headset. Volume and tone controls are also nice to have available. 100% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Simple phone, simple headsetStrengths: Sounds seems clear, low price Weakness: None I can think of. I've hooked this up to my Vonage line and it is easy to make calls with it. Press one button, dial, voila. So there's no caller ID, but that can be added separately. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

GN 4170 Headset TelephoneStrengths: Low price. Clear sound. Convenience of listening to the music while waiting for the phone call. Headset is comfortable. Weakness: The headset could be a little louder. I have a small computer support business. I bought this phone so that it'll be more professional sounding without customers hearing my handset noise everytime I move as with a traditional handset or cordless phone. In every aspect I'm very happy with this GN headset and this is the my first time I have ever used their product. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

GN 4170 Headset Telephone SystemStrengths: Incredibly compact, easy to use, excellent value, flashes when muted, easy to reach mute, redial, and flash buttons, convenient dialpad, includes holder clip to store the headset when not in use Weakness: Somewhat tricky to figure out how to position the headset on the holder when not in use, the screen that flashes when you are on mute could have a brighter light. This headset telephone system is all you need work from home in a call-center like environment! The quality is very high, especially considering the reasonable price (I got mine for only $19.99 plus shipping at www.tigerdirect.com) This is an incredibly compact, convenient system that is very easy to use - just plug in and you're all hooked up... no software or lengthy instructions needed. The headset is comfortable, and the noise-cancelling microphone works very well. Overall, I truly love this headset/telephone combo because when I am not using it, I can tuck this tiny console away to a corner of my desk, without cluttering my workspace. When it's time to work, I have the entire dialing pad right at my fingertips, including a convenient redial button, mute button, and flash button to answer call waiting. There is even a way to program speed-dial numbers! The only minor weaknesses I have found is that it took me a few tries to find the right angle to hang my headset on the clip. Also, there is a light that flashes when you have the phone on mute, but you need to lean over the tiny console a little bit to see the dim red light flashing - it could be a bit brighter. Other than that, I have recommended this headset to several coworkers. If you need an all-in-one telephone system and headset, this tiny system will save $50 to $60 off of other bulkier products. To me, bigger is not always better. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Jabra 4170 Analog Telephone HeadsetStrengths: Compact size, very light weight, comfortable headset. Weakness: Constant buzzing noise, I work from home and I am on the phone for 8 hours a day, my customers were complaining of a buzzing noise when I was talking to them. My customers were complaining of a buzzing noise while I was talking to them, unfortunatly I had to return this particular product and try to find another product, I am not sure if the one I received was defective or if the buzzing noise is part of the product.

I love this phone!Strengths: This phone is awesome! It's small, compact and perfect for my work-at-home job. It has an on-off button, as well as a mute button which are a must have for my job. The headset is comfy too! Weakness: None so far! I love that the headset has 2 different wearing options. I prefer the over the head one. I love the phone base unit; the buttons are big and easy to read. This phone is awesome all the way around! Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Nice product
Strengths: Compact size, large buttons, clear sound, and nice design.
Weakness: None as of yet.
The GN-4170 Headset Telephone is exactly what I needed for my home business. It allows me to type and talk at the same time. Great design is very functional and allows for connection to fax on same line. No "weaknesses" as of yet. Excellent value, compared to other devices on the market. You will not be disappointed.
