Other alternatives? Can anyone recommend a good alternative to this amplifier for use with a cordless phone?

I never found an alternative amplifier. What I have now that works pretty well is a Plantronics H3.A355 headset, which I ordered from Hello Direct as their model number "Plx Audio 355 Hdst". It seems to have enough sensitivity and earmuffing for me that I can dispense with the amplifier. Unfortunately, it ends in two RCA plugs, so I need adapters, which I found on Amazon. One is a "Headset Buddy Adapter: PC Headset to Phone Adapter PC35-PH25", which I use for my wireless landline, and another is "D & K Exclusives PC Headset to 3.5mm Smartphone Adapter", with a 4-conductor plug for my iPhone.

Of course!&#128516; that's what it's for.... But you would want to play higher quality music beacause.... Well it's better! Make sure the headphones you are using have a pretty low impendense. The amp is really designed for mid phyletic phones/portable.

sure, just make sure you are plugging into the ear/head phone port on the ampany other output from the amplifier would be too much power for ear phones

If you're looking for simple voice amplification over and external speaker, check out SOUNDFREQ Sound Spot. I use it as well.

All I can tell you that I have used a 2.5 mm adapter with another brand (Plantronics) and it works ok with my cordless phone. I use the Sennheiser for high quality Audio. For low quality phone audio,any cheap Headset should work.

I realize this question was posed 18 months ago, but if anyone else is considering purchasing; this item will only support one device. The purpose of this device is to REPLACE the DC power plug on your cordless phone... and it only has one cable to make that connection. As a word of warning, apparently these are no longer being manufactured, and the stock is 8-9 years old (mine received today was made in Nov, 2003). I had one of these several years ago and it worked so well that I'm taking the chance on another one... but batteries of this age are questionable.

Just buy the adapter for the device, they're compatible with just about everything. Not sure you'd need an amplifier unless the phone doesn't have one built in.

What is the impedance and sensitivity of your 'phones? As long as impedance isn't too high and/or the sensitivity is sufficient you should be OK. This amp may sound a little better than some others in the price range, but be aware though, that this amp is not a power-house; I tried it with my Quincy Jones Q701 Phones and it barely moved them. I ended up "down-grading" to a Bravo hybrid amp that sounds fine (at least to my ears), and is abundantly more "voluminous".

You can certainly try using it without amplifier, since you live so close to TV stations. I live 45 miles a away from TV antennas. So I used the amplifier.

You won't need an amp, but it would definitely make a difference. I am a basshead and I purchased a cheap FiiO amp and it did wonders to the bass. On my HTC One, I downloaded an EQ App and it had a similar effect. So if you don't have an AMP, try a free EQ - it can make a huge difference.

Unless you add an amplifier application to your phone to supercharge the audio output. ...

Definitely agree with the others here. Will it scale up with a dedicated amp? Sure! But it's still the best thing I've heard straight out of my iPhone. Don't really like to carry more and more extra stuff with me, so for my commute... it's these plugged straight into the iPhone, every time.

I'm going to try the bluetooth bone-conducting ones; no cord and hopefully you can hear what's around you as well as your media. I don't expect fidelity to be great though.

I am also looking for phone with universal adapter (110 - 240 volts). Do you know any cordless phone with this feature. Thanks

I'm not sure. I use this with a cordless phone. I wouldn't think it would be any different on a land line type phone. When I researched further on different sites, it did say amplifier was required. Now I'm just going to deal because I'm not carrying an amp around my house. Haha. I would recommend getting the amp because unless it's pretty quiet where you are, you will have a bit of a hard time hearing the other person. I have volume turned all the way up on my phone and if the tv is on, I have to leave the room. But it's a super comfy headphone and it is wider than others.

There are numerous, very good small amps Out There: from Pig Nose to - the one I own - a Schiffler. A speaker will not be a good choice - choose amplification,.
