Best Cordless Phone Earset I've found

So I've tried other Plantronics simple wired earsets for my cordless Panasonic phone, (Plantronics M214C and M220C) and also a generic one. People kept saying 'I can't hear you well ... turn up the volume' ... but the devices were set at Max. This is the best of the bunch. It's tricky to use (the instructions are vague). I found you
a) put the under-ear bar on first, with the sound bud hole facing AWAY from your ear.
b) lift everything vertically, rotate the sound bud hole DOWN INSIDE the ear so the 'hole' sort of faces your ear canal.
c) gently pull the whole unit DOWN in the ear to 'lock it' with the tiny flap of ear over the sound bud. It is more or less comfortable & good sound TO/FROM you at this point.

This headset works well, but it is NOT cordless. The cord could be a bit longer. It doesn't give me much room to move away from the phone while working at my desk.

Average sound quality and Irritates the ear lobe.. haven't found an above average product in this space yet but will keep hunting. For the most part all seem relatively comparable with trade offs amongst each.

I have had Plantronics devices before and they are very good. This was so inexpensive and works so well I'm going to get another for my other home.

I purchased this for my internet phone because the cord frayed on my old one. It is sometimes uncomfortable in your ear but the speaker works well. My clients can hear me alright as well. It says that it works with mobile phones but it does not. I tried it on a Samsung and an iPhone and the cord is too small for the aux hole.
A:AnswerOur MX500 series will work with cordless phones that have a standard 2.5 mm connection, so this would be a good solution for that scenario since those cordless phones usually allow you to manage your calls even when you are away from their base.
If you want to ensure your phone is compatible with this headset we recommend that you confirm this through our compatibility guide: http://www.plantronics.com/us/compatibility-guide/
A:AnswerMost cordless phones have a standard 2.5mm headset port. If your phone has that port as well then this MX500C headset will be compatible with it.
A:Answerthis has a single cord and you will need a "3" into "2" adapter in order to plug in. These are meant to be used on cordless office phones. they are VERY comfortable. I don't even feel them in unless I accidentally snag the cord as i am walking around. That shouldn't be an issue for you if they are not going to be mobile.
A:AnswerYes. It plugs into any standard "2" jack. You will need an adapter if you want to use for Cellphones or computers. The adapters are cheap and easy to locate. I, personally use mycablemart but anyplace has them, usually online if no where else.
