My Big Fat Review

PLANTASTIC PLANTRONICS!

I absolutely love the CT12. I've owned several other brands of cordless headset phones and the CT12 is simply the best in quality. The firefly headset's sound is clear and plenty loud, with other phones I found I had to buy an aftermarket headset. It's also the most durable phone of this type I've ever owned. From being dropped and the cord getting pulled most cordless headsets start to cut out after about a year, the problem being the headset connection. This includes hard wired and and jack type, but the CT12 has lasted me four years and is just now having this issue. That's four times longer then any other phone. Now I'll be looking to buy a CT14. Which from what I can tell is the same phone, but with some upgrades such as 2x the talk time (10 hours!) and DECT 6.0 which gives you 3x the talk range (300ft!). Plantronics rocks. I also own a Plantronics Pulsar 590 bluetooth headset for my cell phone which is also amazing, check out the review.
