Horrible sound |
This handset definitely turns heads, but the sound quality for both parties is terrible!! The shell is hollow, allowing sound to reverberate before hitting the mic. Sounds like you're talking to someone inside an acoustic guitar. If you buy, buy it for novelty, not for use!

WONDERFUL |
I got this as a gift and it is everything you would think it would be. HOWEVER, if for somereason you hear something rattling around inside the hand set, the caps UNSCREW don't just try to pry it off. I found out the hard way and had to re-solder the connections to the mouthpiece because I shot it across the room.
Also if ANYONE has any luck finding the clamp-on type shoulder rest, please drop me a line. I've checked online, antique shops, etc. without result.

Same story |
Excellent idea, poor execution. Makes you sounds horrible to receivers. Haven't tried the cotton-ball-approach, but not counting on that for a full solution.

Cool Idea...Sounds like garbage |
I can hear people just fine, but they have trouble hearing me. My girlfriend either described it as garbly, or that I was slurring my words and had a bad head cold. The voice recognition on my phone was totally stymied by it, (To the point that Yeses and Nos were ignored).
I wanted to like this product SO bad, but I can't talk to anybody but my closest friends, who have the patience to try and understand what I'm saying to them.

listeners complain about it |
I've bought 2 of these now, hoping they would work.. I even called ThinkGeek, and the woman there told me she was using one as we were talking. I sincerely doubt it, because she sounded fine. Everyone I've tried to talk to while using the phone says they can barely understand me and that the phone sounds like it cuts out.

Love It!!! |
I truly love this handset. Sound is very good, the look on people faces is priceless, especially when they think your just goofing around but when you hand them the handset and someone is actually talking that is the priceless moment. The only draw back is the location of the answer button. Being on the bottom it occasionally gets bumped when adjusting the handset during a conversation thus disconnecting the call. But don't let that stop you, it is well worth it. I wish there was a belt holder accessory also... Are you Think Geek guys listening?

Good receive sound but transmit is poor. |
You sound like you're talking in a bucket to those you call. Cool idea, bad engineering.
