The Headsets.com busy light offers 360* visability, which is good in certain locations. Our office also uses Plantronics headsets which offer a more asthetically pleasing busy light. The "movement" of the lights catches a person's attention better than the "spaceship looking" steady red light from the Headsets.com busy light. Ideally, I would prefer a combination of the two.

This is the 4th headset busy light we have ordered from you. We LOVE your product as well as your "old fashion" (and this is not a bad thing) customer service. The tootsie rolls and heart sticker are GREAT touches!

You Almost Got it Right

Customer Rating:

Unfortunately this is "Close, but not quite Right." The light is really a good size, the base is the right size and the instructions are simple ... but the light only works when someone is talking and fades to off when no sound is heard.

Fix that and you've got it "Right"

I like the idea, love the technology, not crazy about the design. It is the only model that works with my phone setup but it is just not very...cool looking. It works great though! pam

Busy Light is a Neat Accessory!

Customer Rating:

Here in the office, I wear a headset all day. I sit with my back to my partner. She didn't know when I was talking on the phone or when I was just listening to a little music while working on the computer. The busy light changed all that. It is easy to set up, works as advertised, and lets those around you know when you're on the phone. This improves the percieved professionalism, of the office, and helps facilitate communication between staff as well as between staff and customers. A great little addition to any office that is serious about their telephonic professionalism!

I have received good comments on how everyone in the office likes my new light becuase they can see it better. They keep saying they want me to wear some kind of hat that has alight on it though. LOL However I don't like the fact that the light is only on when there is sound on the phone line. Becuase sometimes when I am on hold there is no music or the sound is real low so then people don't know that I am on the phone.

The second one I received works. However, it is really ugly! I liked the other indicator light (for my old system) much better.

Prefer Wireless Busy Light

Customer Rating:

I worked at a helpdesk with wireless headsets and I really liked the indicator light. I now work at an organization with wired headsets and I decided to buy the indicator that goes with the wired headsets. I do not like it as much because the light goes out when people aren't talking and people get confused when trying to determine if I am on the phone. The wireless indicator stays on while the phone is off the hook.

Not what we expected

Customer Rating:

09/29/2010

We ordered these for our front desk, and at first were very excited. After the first few days, we noticed the light doesn't stay on - it is noise activated. This causes problems because it doesn't truly show when we're on a phone call if we aren't currently speaking. It's a great concept, but needs some improvements

I love it! I was tired of people coming to the counter and starting to talk when I was already on a phone call -- I put a note on the light that says if it is lit up -- I am on the phone!

I am returning this item as it did not perform 100% with every phone call. I found the red light to look cheap and unprofessional on my desk.

The cord could have been longer. We had to spend almost as much to buy longer cords. I purchased two for a couple of our customer service stations. They seem to work fine and do their job. The light also only comes on when someone is talking on our end. It would be better if it stayed on continuously when just connected on a phone call. Overall I think for the price it is fine.

The Busy Light has proven to be a very reliable unit. We have several in our department and they are the only lights that work with both our standard digital sets and our VoIP sets (through the side jack). We'll be ordering more for some of the new guys soon.

Do not like that this is "voice" activated. Every time you speak the light goes on and when you are on hold or the person on the other end of phone is not speaking the light is on. Does not truly indicate if you are on the phone unless you use mute. When I called and asked questions prior to ordering this should have mentioned. I will probably be returning both.

It's just a busy light! What can I say, it works. I do think it is a little more complicated than it needs to be, with all the wires and boxes. It's like modern technology hasn't come to visit this sad little busy light.

The busy light was a most needed addition in our office. We have two receptionists at the front and people would start a conversation not knowing if either was on the phone. We purchased two busy lights and they are perfect. The only thing that I don't like is that if either line does not emit sound the light will not light up. Basically it’s a sound activated device

We like the lights, but we don't like that they fade out if the conversation stops while someone is looking at something and waiting.I have given the light info to other divisions in Honda to purchase. It did take 3 replacements to make one work at my phone.

I do not like that the amplifier light comes on and off through out your call. A better feature would be to remain on once the call is initiated or received.

Product seems cheaply made, It not only lights up when the person is on the phone, but also when it picks up any background noise in the office, whether they're on an actual call or not.
