PanasonicRugged Cordless Phone Handset Accessory Compatible with TGD8xx, TGE6xx and TGF9xx Series Cordless Phone Systems - KX-TGTA61B (Black)

New landline phones from Panasonic did not come with headphone jacks in the handsets. While they can connect by Bluetooth to an iPhone which can connect to AirPods, that seemed less than ideal.This handset has a 2.5mm headphone jack and my old headphone works perfectly with it. As a bonus, it is rugged and sealed against wet weather.

I had dropped my regular handset one too many times and was thrilled to find this one.It is rugged and waterproof plus it has a flash light which I love to use walking around outside in the evening.I never go out without a phone and this has a long slim easy to use clip for on your blouse or waistband.It linked up to my Panasonic base in 5 seconds importing all of my saved phone numbers.I would recommend it to anyone asking.

Good earphone and speaker volume, much better than phones that come with base. Battery chargers make noise in my radios.

The best of Panasonic in my opinion because the audio makes it easy for us old people to hear. Better clarity, louder, good sound than the average land phones. I was ready to throw Panasonic phones under the bus, but this one is waterproof and I use the most, having bought another one. I live in an large home, and use one on each level. Highly recommend this particular one. Rye Beach, NH

I think this phone is pretty nice! Overall, I like how it works and sounds. The only uncertainty with it is the battery life- the first time I fully charged it, the charge ran out fast. Hopefully it will do better and last longer in the future.UPDATE: this handset eats batteries far faster than a regular handset!I bought some good quality Interstate batteries for it, and it still won't last even 24 hours after a full charge, so just be warned!

Worked fine for a few months then would not charge . charger is fine, internal problem with handset. This rugged model does NOT have the same reliable charge system as other indoor handsets. Many users complain about same problem. Do yourself a favor & buy something more Reliable!!!!!

Easy set up, we had to use option 2. I like the placement of the speakerphone button, very easy to find. The charging cradle is an exact fit so you could miss getting the phone into the cradle at times. I just wish it was available in colors other than black, I have too many black things in my life and good luck finding it if it is face down in dim lighting!

This product looks rugged and is rugged. I have dropped it a couple of times and everything is still A-OK.
