I love the wireless set which allows me to roam up to 20 feet from my PC. I simply can't use a cell phone. I do training over the phone with some sessions as long as 2 1/2 hours. Skype makes this possible and my headphones provide the way for me to communicate efficiently over the phone. Dave Laura,

No frequency boost, but volume control. They work great for me and have a range of about 30 feet. Dave Walker,

Do you remove your hearing aids in order to use the headset, or wear the set over the hearing aids? And are there any frequency 'boost' features on the head set to enhance understanding? Dave,
