good Headphones, but without built-in charger.......2007-09-19
These headphones work well and the sound quality is very good, too. The only problem is that they don't have a built-in charger for batteries.
Sennheiser RS-110.......2007-09-04
These headphones work well once tuned properly. I don't care for the location of the tuner / volume as forgeting which is which can have terrible results.
Not Bad.......2007-08-31
Sound quality is OK. You have to balance between headphone volume, volume on your pc and volume on mp3 player.
Could be better keeping other sounds out.
Comfortable, I where them for extended periods at work.
The only negative comment I have is that It could be better handling startling static through headphones when the base station cuts off. Really no excuse for that.
Decent headphones.......2007-08-29
I bought these for my mother so she can hear the television dialog better. They work pretty well although they do sometimes get fuzzy sounding...probably due to interference from some appliance. Overall a good value and easy to setup.
Good product.......2007-08-23
The Headphones have been great, since they were a remanufacture they didnt come with any directions. That said they are headphones and somewhat self explanitory. The sound is great and the range is good. I can now whatch the news in the morning without hearing any complaints from My girlfriend about the loud TV

Amazon.com Product Description
The remanufactured KX-TG2314W cordless phone system from Panasonic offers all the basics plus several useful extras, including a second handset and caller ID compatibility. The phone operates on the 2.4 GHz band and boasts frequency-hopping spread spectrum technology, which ensures clearer reception at greater distances than traditional analog phones. The signal is bolstered by Panasonic's Voice Enhancer technology, which is better able to reproduce the full range of the human voice, thus improving the performance of each and every call--including those transmitted through the handsets' built-in speakerphones.
Thanks to the phone's call waiting/caller ID compatibility--which requires a subscription to a fee-based phone company service--and caller ID memory, you'll know the name and number of the last 30 callers, even if you're currently talking to someone else. The handset's three-line, multifunction LCD, meanwhile, lets you see all caller ID information without scrolling, while the backlighting on the handset LCD aids visibility in low-light situations.
The handset speakerphones, which are a far cry from older, echo-filled models, are a plus whether you're holding an important business call or you want the whole family to say hi to grandma at once. And should you need to quickly access the numbers of your favorite friends and family members, simply consult the 30-number phone directory. The phone even includes a display-and-dial feature so you can scroll through the caller ID and phone directory lists and dial a number with the touch of a button.
Crowded households will especially delight in the second handset, which lets you keep telephone extensions in two separate locations without installing an additional phone jack. Additional features include headset compatibility (for talking on the phone while washing dishes, for instance), a page locator for finding the handset when it's misplaced, and a wall-mounting option that lets you keep the countertop clear of excess clutter. The phone is backed by a 90-day warranty.

Product Description
Crystal-clear voices, digital security, smart styling - that's what you get with Panasonic's GIGARANGE series of digital cordless telephones. Each of these 2.4 GHz models feature Voice Enhancer technology for unmatched clarity.
Amazon.com Product Description
The KX-TG2314W from Panasonic is a 2.4 GHz phone system with several useful extras, including a second handset and caller ID compatibility. By utilizing a 2.4 GHz signal and frequency-hopping spread spectrum technology, the KX-TG2314W is able to offer clearer reception at greater distances than traditional analog phones, while Panasonic's Voice Enhancer technology expands the frequency range of the phone's signal, resulting in cleaner, more intelligible speech.
The caller ID features a 30-number internal memory, while a 30-number phone directory allows you to store your most important numbers internally for easy recall. A display-and-dial feature also allows you to scroll through the caller ID and phone directory lists and dial a number with the touch of a button.
A handset speakerphone is provided, while headset compatibility and an included belt clip allow you to communicate on the phone while performing other daily tasks. An illuminated keypad makes dialing in poorly-lit environments a snap, and the second handset allows you to have telephone extensions in separate locations, without an additional phone jack. Additionally, a wall-mounting option lets you keep your countertop clear from any unnecessary clutter.

Customer Reviews:
Great Phone.......2007-03-16
Unlike its 5.8ghz replacements this phone offers excellent sound quality and lighted keypad. The handset menu's are easy to navigate. The speaker phone has great sound quality and a great tool for hands free conversations. It's white color makes it sharp looking. This is a great phone and disappointing Panasonic no longer makes it.
Durable,Great reception and long battery life after charge.......2005-06-02
I'm very happy with all the features as well.
Excellent full featured cordless system.......2005-01-30
Everything about this system is excellent.
I would also like to point out that, at least for us, the relatively large form factor has turned out to be more comfortable than smaller units that we have tried.
The speaker mode is very clear and has no feedback but, as one reviewer pointed out, better use it in a quiet room. Another minor issue. The speaker phone feature does not appear to be available if the phone is in the cradle.
Great phone if you like static.......2005-01-25
This phone has so much static it is nearly useless. What a piece of junk. The other features of the phone are fine, but what good are they when all you get out of the receiver is a loud roar. Buy this phone only if you don't want to be able to hear the other party.
PANASONIC 2.4GHZ DSS CORDLESS PHONE/DUAL HANDSETS.......2004-12-18
I HAVE JUST RECEIVED THESE PHONES AND SO FAR I AM QUITE IMPRESSED WITH THIS VALUE!
WHEN I SET THE UP THE SYSTEM/PHONES I WAS ABLE TO IMMEDIATELY USE THE PHONES FOR CALLS, WITH JUST ONE (1) BAR READING IN THE BATTERY CHARGING AREA.(PHONE SHOULD BE CHARGED FOR 6 HOURS ACCORDING TO PANASONIC.)
-THE ONLY ISSUE THUSFAR IS THAT THE HEARING/EAR PORTION OF THE HANDSET(S) ARE ROUNDED AND SMALLER THAN WHAT I AM USED TO WITH CORDLESS PHONES.
-I FOUND THIS TO BE UNCOMFORTABLE WHILE HOLDING THE PHONE TO MY EAR(S).
IF YOU HAVE VERY SMALL EARS YOU WILL BE FINE. HOWEVER, ADULTS/CHILDREN WHO HAVE 'AVERAGE' SIZED EARS - YOU MIGHT FEEL LIKE YOUR UPPER EAR IS BEING 'CUT' FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD.
-A FRIEND HAS A SIMILAR CORDLESS HANDSET AND COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME THING. (I CANT BELIEVE I AM WRITING ABOUT EARS!) BUT...THIS IS TRUE.

Customer Reviews:
DO NOT BUY ANY SEAGATE DRIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2006-12-03
At the end of August, my girlfriend and I bought a seagate internal hard drive to back up our documents, school work, and pictures. This drive utterly stopped working after only 3 months of very light usage. Not only was the file system of the hard drive corrupted, but it had physically jammed its reader heads into the disk, deleting and corrupting data willy-nilly.
If you are looking for a reliable, long-lasting hard drive, look elsewhere then seagate. They offer a five year warranty on their drives for a reason...they, and you, can pretty much count on it to fail in that timeframe
Recap: Don't buy this drive!
Great Drive.......2006-07-14
I am extremely happy with this purchase and will most likely purchase another one of these, soon.
Drive died after 3 months.......2006-06-25
I bought this item in March (not from Amazon), with the 5 year warranty. Worked fine, until it began making a clicking noise, described elsewhere as turning the drive on and off. When the drive was making that noise, it would no longer be detected by windows. If the drive was making the noise at startup, my system would hang, so I would have to unplug the drive (it's a secondary). I could reboot a couple of times and have a quiet drive that was recognized, but it would go south again. I even installed a fan blowing directly on the drives, thinking it might have been a heat issue. No change.
Contacted Seagate's tech support, and was told that the drive was under warranty (thankfully), but they had none in stock, and I would have to wait 7-10 days to see if they would recieve any more. Although they did waive the fee for the "advanced" shipping option for me.
So I have a dead 3 month old drive with no prospect of a replacement for the immediate future. I think most businesses, if you had a problem with a product under warranty that they did not have available, would try to make it right somehow, usually with the next step up, or an equivalent item. Not that I'm demanding a different/larger/faster drive, but I am perturbed that my only option is to wait for them to have some available.
A drive like this in a retail box should not fail after 3 months, and a customer should not have to wait for the manufacturer to "get some in". Very curious, this... I have another Seagate 160GB drive in my system right now as a non-boot drive. I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. Back to WD for me...
OK.......2006-06-07
Positive:
* Installation is easy - it comes with all the instructions
* It's cheap
Neither Positive nor Negative:
* It's not as quiet as my old HD, but I don't really care about that
* My Win XP shows only 186 GB capacity for the drive, not 200, but this may be normal, I don't know.
Quick, quiet, and guaranteed!.......2006-06-07
Whatever variable you're considering, Seagate is the way to go - and, at the time of this review, this drive is a great balance of size and cost.
Above all, Seagate's five-year warranty bests everyone. Hitachi offers 5-year warranty on SOME drives, but even then the warranty doesn't cover all aspects OF the drives. Seagate's warranty is complete and certain. Then again, you may never NEED the warranty, since Seagate drives so rarely fail. And five years is a long time in computer life, anyway - if you get that far out and have any trouble, it's probably time for a new drive and/or computer anyway. 200GB will seem teeny by then, and you might not want to waste the effort on service - if you ever needed it.
Second, setup was insanely easy. I delayed adding a second hard drive to my desktop for several years, fearing difficulties with the process. Oh, I've added lots of things to lots of computers - additional memory, new CDR and DVD drives, upgraded processes, new fans, replacement batteries (in laptops), modems and SCSI cards and USB/Fireware cards. But the consensus on hard drives seemed to be that trouble was ahead, and to beware. But not here, baby. I took the process very slowly, pausing plenty between each step largely out of fear and carefulness. But if I had simply followed the steps without pausing and fretting, we're talking MAYBE five minutes: Turn the machine off, open the case, remove the second drive housing, pop in the drive, replace the drive housing, connect two cables, close the case, and turn it on - bingo! The included software was a breeze, and would have been even for a newbie. I don't know what I was worried about, but suggest that you NOT worry and just move forward. You'll appreciate the extra space.
I haven't had ANY of the problems cited by others (and note that very few folks cite any problems anyway). No clicking, no noticeable noise, no slowdown, nada. Easy easy ease, all the way.
I'm using the drive primarily for music storage, ripping our entire CD collection (80GB so far) for access via iTunes. I had been worried that iTunes getting tunes from a second drive would be slow, especially since this desktop is about five years old. But nope, no problems at all.
I can't imagine this having gone smoother. If I had space in the desktop for a third drive, I might get another - and I might well replace the OED 40GB drive with one of these, giving me 400GB in the case. It's either that or a 400GB external NAS (Network Access Storage drive, connected to our LAN but not this PC in particular), on which I'll backup all of our machines. Either way, as far as this product goes, aces all the way. Yahoo! :)
