Panasonic KX-TS600B Integrated Corded Telephone System Review
This phone had everything I wanted -- speakerphone, a headset connector, and call waiting/caller ID. Oddly enough this is a really unusual combination to find if you DON'T want an answering machine, or an AT&T model which only comes in white (at least when I was looking). The headset has a good heft, and the phone works well. Although there are two things which do bug me a bit: the phone is a bit light on the desk and the feet don't have very good grip, so as one other reviewer mentioned, it does slide around a bit if you inadvertently pull on the handset cord. Second, the caller ID screen is hard to read unless you're in a VERY bright room, and/or reading the display from directly above. If these two items were rectified, it would be five-stars all-the-way!

P3 P5080 Telephone Recorder Review
I just bought this item. The product itself is a piece of junk.
The Rec and Play buttons won't stay down to do their job. Or, they stay down for 5 seconds then pop back up so it is completely unusable. I plugged it into a phone jack and now because it didn't work right, I have to call the phone company and get them to check my line for new line noise that really disturbs conversations. I'm going to just throw it in the trash and NEVER buy this manufacturer's products again. The vendor did their job very well but the product itself not only can't be used but disturbs your phone line and also I had to replace an electrical outlet. Do Not Waste your Money and do not even get this if it was free; it is not worth damaging your phone and electric circuit. Sorry I had to give it one star..would have preferred to give it a zero.

Panasonic DECT 6.0 Expandable Cordless Telephone with 3 Handsets (KX-TG6413T) Review
I wanted a phone with no answering feature, which this lacks. Call quality is good, but to do the simplest thing, like change the ringer volume or look at missed calls, requires scrolling through menus to reach what you want to do.
Also, it does not always recognize there is a voice mail from my phone service provider.
The screen is large, but so are the pixels they use. Looks a bit jagged. And the caller ID shows less characters than my Uniden did even though that one has a smaller screen.
The light on top, which shows a voice mail waiting, is also lit when charging-confusing even though voice mail blinks and charge is steady. And it's way too small and blinks too slowly.
The ringer tone selection is meager and the ones available are not very pleasing.
This one is going back. It seems like they just went through the motions when designing this phone.

Wireless Headset W Adapter for Cordless Telephones Review
I have had this headset for about 3 months now. I initially went with the BlueParrot bluetooth headset to save some money but was unsatisfied and returned it.
This unit is not cheap but it works perfectly for me. I have DSL on the same line this headset is on, and even with a DSL filter I have had sound quality issues with various cordless phones I have used. This headset is essentially a phone with no dial pad. Sound quality and range are excellent. The volume can be controlled well and it gets loud enough, an issue I have had with other headsets. No interference with my wireless internet set up.
Other folks have commented on the "beeps" when the phone is muted. I personally consider this a very good feature. Because the headset is wireless there is no easy way to tell if you are muted when away from the base. (You can't look for a blinking light.)The beeps are very faint and I personally do not find them distracting at all, although others have commented that they do.
The unit comes with multiple options to attach to your ear or with a headband. I had to experiment with these for a few days before I found one that worked. After the first day my ear was a little sore but after I used it for several days it felt like a perfect fit.
All in all I am very happy with this unit.

Walker W1000 Clarity High-Frequency Enhancing Telephone Review
I purchased the Clarity w1000 to overcome the noise from a room air conditioner. It usually worked adequately for this task. However, sometimes or perhaps often a little more volume would have been useful. On my phone line, increased volume quickly turns into quite a bit of noise and hiss. This is more annoying than straining to hear the caller. My Panasonic KX-TG 5421 cordless phone with voice enhancer turns out to work better than the w1000. I probably should have returned the w1000.

Panasonic Dect 6.0 Silver Cordless Phone with Answering Machine (KX-TG1031S) Review
I already own a Panasonic. So, when my mother needed a a new phone, this is the one I got her. She loves it. What I like about this model is that the number buttons seem to be bigger. Which is a great help for her to see them.
After looking at other phones, and now owning two Panasonic's I would not buy any other brand.

AT&T DECT 6.0 Black/Silver Digital 3-Handset Cordless Telephone (CL81309) Review
Finally a phone that works and isn't a P.O.S. I had an expensive Panasonic ($125) single cordless phone with no answering machine. Can't hear anything on the Panasonic phone and they said it needs to be unplugged and plugged in when it does this - to reboot it. Needed to be rebooted a few times a day - now it's in the garbage where it belongs. We also had Uniden phones (5 of them) - all very poor quality and noisy with poor range.
This AT&T phone has a great range with excellent sound. No noise! Easy to program. Only need to program one phone - all the handsets will then see your directory entries. No need to program each separately. These were so great that I bought a 3 phone expansion pack: 3 more handsets. I also bout a great headset that works on the DECT 6.0 1.9GHz instead of bluetooth. That means it has great range.
We have AT&T voicemail - so we didn't need or want an answering machine. A Voicemail button would have been nice, but we just put it in as an entry in the directory.
Another big plus is the ability to talk on multiple handsets at the same time. My other cordless phones couldn't do this (just one conversation between the base and one handset at a time). Now I can pick up the phone and when it's for someone else - they can pick it up before I hang up. And we can both talk to someone on two handsets at the same time. I think it supports 4 handsets simultaneously...
here's the headset that works with this:

Panasonic Dect 6.0 Titanium Black Cordless Phone with Answering Machine (KX-TG6445T) Review
This phone set more than exceeds my expectations and I would highly recommend it to others. The price was reasonable and I have not had any problems with the answering machine or the handsets.
It is so nice to be able to locate a handset and its base unit in a room without regard to whether or not there is a phone jack nearby. All you need is an electrical outlet to plug in the base unit.
One very nice feature is the ability to block any telemarketing calls. As soon as I get one of these calls, I add the number to the list of blocked callers. Next time they call, the phone rings once before the call is ended. It would have been nice to have not received even one ring, but this is a minor point.
Another helpful feature is the ability to designate a number in your phone list to ring with a distinctive tone. There are several choices you can select from. So, for example, you could designate a particular ring just for family members. Or, give different people different ring tones. Additionally, phone calls from numbers in your phone list will display with the person's name on the handsets.
All-in-all, I don't see how you can go wrong with this phone set.

Panasonic KX-TS620W Integrated Corded Telephone with All-Digital Answering System Review
This digital answering machine, speaker phone is pricey for a one line phone. The phone and answering machine work fine and the sound quality is very good. BUT! I'm disappointed that the LED Display is practically unreadable and should light up so you can see the time or information. Also, there is no battery back-up in case of a power outage.
The value just isn't there, for the amount of money paid, or a high recommendation.

Panasonic KX-TS600W Integrated Corded Telephone System Review
I got this phone for an elderly friend of mine. You should always have at least one wired phone installed in your home. It's so hard these days to even find one in the nearby stores. Everything is cordless....well, if your power goes out, so does your cordless phones. This will leave you totally cut-off from the outside world. And, for an elderly person with no cellphone, this is very dangerous! I recommend the Panasonic. I had one very similar to this model years ago and loved it. I'd still have it if my children hadn't spilled soda all over it!

Plantronics TELEPHONE HEADSET SYSTEM ( S11 ) Review
The Plantronics S11 corded headset is a real Godsend for a job that requires heavy phone usage. Gives you the ability to use both hands, and the sound is very clear. I have had no complaints from anyone I've talked to while using it. A cordless gives you greater mobility,yes, but for the price (especially at Amazon), you can't beat it! I saved $25.00 over Office Depot's price buying through Amazon. Plantronics TELEPHONE HEADSET SYSTEM ( S11 )
