Does anyone know how these phones compare with the eariler Panasonic RPHJE120K phones? IOW is the extra $8 in cost justified?

Yes, I would recommend these headphones because it has a lot of sound reduction in static on the outside and a great sound bass. You will love them.

I liked 120K way better. In terms of sound quality, 190K is horrible. It produces very irritating sound. 120K is not that good either, but at least its sound is not irritating. It lacks deep bass and high treble, but otherwise its sound is okay. Both are quite comfortable to wear, but I found 120K a little bit more comfortable. 120K is definitely worth a shot, if you are looking for a CHEAP and COMFORTABLE earphones.

I really like my phone, it's fairly well made. It has adjustable volume. HOWEVER, I have two of the remanufactured Western Electric phones you mentioned (I bought them through oldphoneworks.com, check it out) and. This phone is really not in the same league. If I was you I would check out oldphoneworks before buying anything. I like my cortelco phone, that being said, I cannot comment on the Scitec as I am unfamiliar.

I was out of the country and sorry for the late answer. The Panasonic phone system is actually a base station phone and four extensions. We have them throughout our home and they work great. Very good acoustics even on speakerphone. Nice features such as timed "do not ring" at night. We have one line on Comcast and one line on Vonage and no problems. For a 2-line phone system, this was the best choice at the best price.

I bought the less expensive one, the SB67158 . From what I see what I bought was the BASE only and I also bought 4 additional handsets. The SB67138 which is $82 MORE just includes one handset. Mine just had the base this more expensive one has the base and an extra handset. Additional handsets are $89. We LOVE this phone, had no problems and have had it 6 months, handsest hold a charge fine, sound is great.,

I do not know the comparisons between the two, but I do know the speaker and sound quality of this phone was very poor. I could not hear the person on the other end of the phone. Very disappointed.

I've also found that the sound quality (for both parties) in this current generation of phones is not as good as my old digital 900 MHz AT&T cordless. I've tried (and returned) 4 phones (Panasonic DECT, Uniden DECT, Philips DECT, Uniden 5.8GHz) because either the clarity was low, or the maximum volume was too soft. The Panasonic DECT came the closest to perfection, but the low earpiece volume and harsh tone of the caller's voice broke the deal for me. I've found that trying a different phone jack in the house can help. I've decided to buy a new battery for my old phone and wait for the next generation. I'm just baffled at all the stellar reviews of these new phones... even CnsmRpts states that the sound quality of digital is less than analog phones nowdays.

I don't know how it compares with the e1200 as I never had that. However, I figured for the extra $20, sounded worth the risk. All I can say is that I have a big house and the E1500 is excellent. I can get perfect reception anywhere in the house (and even outside on a patio), a problem I used to have. I am happy.

I can not easily answer that question because the phone became too unreliable for use and we salvaged daughter's phonefrom storage and swapped out. We use her Panasonic now in place of troublesome GE... May I suggest you shop around for a better product? The GE phone really seemed like a bargin at first, in reality, you're paying for only 6 months of use.

Well... the word better is subjective as your personal taste in what you feel or experience when you use this types of devices is different for each individual. I cant compare them to the SE535 as I have never used them before. I can just say that the SE846 are out of this world and I have been blown away. Maybe try to locate a store that have both in stock and give them a try. Good luck in your decision.

Funny you mention it. I've read a few people stating so, not many though. I think people are more worried about hearing others, not others hearing them. However, this is the key feature I'm looking for. I'm trying to replace my Panasonic KX-TG2730, which my Dad can't hear me on at all. I thought he was going deaf, until a house guest called me at work from my phone and I realized it's been my phone the whole time. I have numerous other people asking me to speak up too. I would like this phone, it's got excellent reviews, but I'm going to do a little more research first.

I believe the 7875S has Link-to-Cell Bluetooth (don't know what that is) which I wouldn't need. Check the Panasonic Store online and you can compare phones. Amazon has the BEST prices.

Get real buddy. I agree with the rest of the people here, for $250 (and as a 'deal'), thats expensive for Skype standards. Regular cell phones WITHOUT plans cost around the same price range.Yes, the price tag is probably 'fair' because of the 'new' technology in it. Give it six months, I'm sure we will see some type of price drop. Its like when Plasma TVs came out on the market, expensive at first, price will drop later on.

Level of hearing problem varies for each individual. I myself have more than moderate hearing loss and have used only Panasonic phones for last 20 years; so I cannot compare them with other manufacturers. But I should say that the speaker loudness works for me.

In 2008 I purchased a four phone AT&T; set. model SL82418. They have worked wonderful. I had to replace the batteries but the phones have been excellent. I believe they were around 100 to 125 dollars. I would buy them again.

Just place the order with Panasonic. Though the status says backorderd, you will get them in two weeks. I placed my order for two SH-FX70s on the 20th of Dec and got them delivered on the 5th of Jan. Audio quality is not that great. HTB cost - 376.94 + free shipping (thanks to Amazon for this price). Spent 272.90 just for the two rear units. Still not sure if I made the right decision...

I've happily owned a pair of these phones for a while, and use them daily. I'm aware of burn-in considerations, especially as I used to mess around with high end speakers and drivers years ago. My experience with these exact phones is that the bass notes did show some increased quickness within a couple of weeks. It was nothing earth shattering, but I remember noting that the bass response got a little more responsive as the phones broke-in. I do not believe that the Sennheisers need a formal break in with white noise generators or any such tools. It's just that you'll notice that you like them even a little more after the initial listening period. What I've noticed also is that I'm accustomed to the sound of these phones and when I use a different set, I'm not at all happy with the strange phones. The Sennheisers deliver a sound quality that is very attractive to me. They were a worthwhile investment in my way of looking at it. Good Luck with your decision.

[RE:] The questioner got solid advice from A non-bias web service ( Computer Consulting Services ) In all honesty ( Since I purchased ) both the Omma-Telo Premium System & the HD2 phone two years ago , I can tell you to best of my knowledge that yes you can . The clarity which is superior to any other phone service , V.I.O.P & land-line , + the $ I saved to date , including monthly services to date is about $584.00 ! All in all I consider myself the fool for not investing sooner! You won't be sorry if you also purchase . Hope this helps ! ?
