Not a Mac question so I'm placing this in the lounge.
My brother tends to call mom during the day when she is moving about the house doing other things. Needless to say sometimes the sound quality is not got as she tries to hold the handset on one shoulder and carry on a conversation. I think one of the house phones (cordless landline) has speakerphone capability but the sound quality isn't great.
I'm hoping to help him find something that fits the following criteria:
1. Good sound quality (current phone has a horrible mic in speakerphone mode).
2. We are looking at headset-based systems (as an alternative to using speakerphone system).
3. I'd rather avoid using a headset that connects via wire to a belt pack if possible.
4. We're OK with replacing existing phones needed.
5. Simplicity of operation is a good thing and it does not need to connect to other drives such as her cellphone or a computer (none in the house despite numerous calls offering virus protection for said device).
All help appreciated. I get this wrong and my status as tech guru is in serious jeopardy.
