Might work TOO well!
There's an old saying, "Be careful what you wish for." My purchase of the Panasonic hands-free headset along with a new Panasonic cordless phone with message recorder might not exactly fit the saying, but you'll get the idea. I knew if I asked my wife if I should buy the headset, she'd say it was unnecessary, but I found the free shipping too tempting and knew our daughter used her headset all the time. Well, my wife now loves hers too, but instead of cutting a conversation short because she had wash to hang up, she can keep right on chatting while she does anything short of vacuuming. The point is that the headset works exactly as it should and enables my wife to talk on the phone just as proficiently as before and yet has her hands free to do other things as well.
