Pretty good little phone........2007-12-29
We bought these phones with two more handsets for use in our business. The range and clarity are great, as well as the intuitive controls. I guess the only beef I have with it is that when you are on line 1 and line 2 rings, the sound cuts out with the ring tone. This is especially anoying when speaking with a customer. Even with this drawback, I would buy this phone again!
Great phones!.......2007-12-25
We really like these phones. The work well, battery life is great. And there are lots of good features!
awesome phone system.......2007-12-22
I am really picky about my phones. I had not seen this system in person only on the internet. Not only am I pleased, I am thrilled. This phone gives you all you really need. It is so convenient. You can pick up a message from any hand set by just hitting a few buttons. No more running to the answer machine. The voice and hearing quality is excellent. Speakerphone is great as well. It does everything I need it to. I have it in a 2500 Sq ft. home and no sound quality issues anywhere. That really does depend on your homes wiring and other wireless equipment. i have cable and wireless internet and it does not have any affect on the system. I highly reccomend this phone, If I'm happy you'll be happy, just ask my wife!!!!!
a little disappointed, just an average phone and answering system.......2007-12-07
The sound quality is just OK during conversation. Answering system outgoing message is actually quite poor sound quality. I have had several other phone systems with much better sound quality. It really lacks features for such an expensive phone/answering system. It does NOT have a paging feature, so you have no way of knowing if a message is left, except to keep calling home to see. There is no feature to allow each line to ring only certain handsets, so the business line rings in your bedroom, like it or not. Then there are the feature buttons that are recessed. They are hard to push, they are soft rubber and you have to push the button just right to activate the line choice or feature you're trying to activate, and it's difficult. The phones have a light that is lite all the time, yet if you choose to have the blinking lite alert you of a message, that uses battery power... doesn't having the light on all the time use up battery power? The handsets are long and skinny, hard to hold and you can't rest it on your shoulder. I wish I knew more about the phone before I purchased it. Not having the paging feature is really a handicap for me. How can I let people know I'm going to call them back within a couple hours if I have to keep calling home to see if anyone has even called, which I'm sure I'm going to remember to do all the time,since I have so much time and cell minutes to waste for nothing most of the time. I just think it's a lot of money for a very basic phone system. The only really decent feature is that you can add handsets, and oh yea, it's 5.8ghz so it's less likely to interfere with my home wireless network.
Declutter your desk.......2007-12-04
Our Panasonic KX-TG6702B dual line cordless phone system works flawless. We had a Panasonic single line cordless system before and knew what to expect. The dual line system eliminates the other phone from your desk and helps to declutter office. In our micro enterprise we got four handsets for receptionist, accounts, art director, workshop. We use one line for outgoing calls to keep the other line open for incoming calls. The intercom is a great feature to communicate between offices as well as to forward calls. Best of all you don't need to run ugly phone lines all over the place. Phone lines are plugged into central unit only while the daughter handsets only need a regular power wall outlet to recharge batteries. The phone's design is smaller and looks more professional than our old system.
Reach is in most cases fully satisfactory as long as you don't work/live in a bunker of concrete and steel.
We have not used the built-in answering machine due to voice mail from our provider.

Customer Reviews:
Good phone, too complicated.......2007-12-29
Very good phone with great sound quality. Not as easy to set up as my prvious panasonic. I don't need all of the hi tech fancy options.
Very good 2 line cordless 2 line phone.......2007-12-13
I did a lot of research on before purchasing this phone system, there where some less than favorable reviews on sound quality so I was a little worried. The sound quality is fine, no real issues, the phone has a "VE" Voice Enhancer feature, it can make the sound a little weird, they attempt to remove background noise from the caller, I don't use it although it doesn't really make a difference it just sounds unnatural. It's a lightweight phone easy to hold, it did not come with a belt clip, it has holes for the clip they juse don't include it, that would have been a nice addition.
I choose 5.8Ghz so there would be little interference with the wireless 2.4Ghz Internet at the house, it's not mandatory to do this but I just did not want any issues with the wireless Internet. I did not compare 2.4GHz phones with my wireless although our wireless Internet works great with these phones at the house.
We had Siemens phones prior to Panasonic, the only thing we missed was that when you picked up the Siemens phone from the charger it answered the phone (at first we thought this was annoying but grew to like it) the Panasonic does not answer when you pick it up from the charger, you have to hit talk.
The speaker phone on the handset is great, it's normally on max volume, it's loud enough. It has a mute button which is great for long winded conference calls, you can set the phone down anywhere and listen while you carry on with whatever you are doing and not have to worry about the dog barking.
The programing and use is not very complicated it's somewhat intuitive. We have 4 handsets the intercom works good.
The range is quite good we get about 200 feet to a barn, it breaks up a little bit but is quite usable at that range.
Panasonic 5.8 GHz Wireless Phone - 2 line.......2007-10-08
The phone has exceeded my expectations. I bought an extra handset in addition to the two that came with the unit. Distance from base - superb. Ability to add or delete frequently used numbers - very easy. Menu features - none missing that I can think of. Has volume control, three way, caller ID, speaker, light weight and easy to hold.
third phone.......2007-09-15
We have a two line household and needed a two-line phone to answer either of the lines. This is now the third handset for the system and it works very well. The screen size is a little small, and it's difficult at times to quickly decide whether line 1 or line 2 is ringing for the incoming call. That's the major downside. Other than that, its fine.

Good Phone.......2007-10-27
We are using 5 of these cordless handsets all over the house, in conjunction with the base unit (KX-TGA4500B), with no interference problem. Another great feature about the handsets is that they don't have to be wired; just plugged in! Also, the recommended headset (KX-TCA86) works well with the both the base and handset) and is very inexpensive.
As Advertised.......2007-09-14
So far this system is working well for us. Wish there are more options such as more flexible extension numbers, etc.
Excellent follow on model.......2007-03-29
We used a previous version of this system for years. This much improved system handles even the tiny wishes we had from the old system. Music on hold, speaker phones, great range, etc. I actually bought multiple systems and tried them in my offices. I returned them all except the Panasonic.
panasonic cordless phone.......2007-03-10
Big disappointment. Unlike previous Panasonic phones that have always been 'slightly ahead of their time' this phone is difficult to use and there are too many steps involved to make or take a simple phone call. It's designed as badly as MS software. One of the annoying features is you have to hold the button down for almost 3 seconds to take a call on hold - it's a mess. Stay away.
Cell phone ease and portability for a land phone.......2007-01-18
Sound is great. Ease of use is wonderful. The guys in our shop have not complained once and we have had the phones for over a month!

Stay away from this one.......2007-12-06
We have been using the Panasonic 4 -line wireless phone system to run our home businesses for over 5 years. The original KX-TG4000 -- 2.4 ghz system worked really well. The problem however was that our wireless router created an audible interference, static in the cordless units.
So we "Upgraded" to the new Panasonic KX-TG4500 - 5.8 Ghz system. The new frequency works well with NO interference no static with our wireless router. The audio signal is quiet and static free on the cordless units.
The answering machine on this upgraded unit is terrible. It cuts off voice mail messages of callers. Typically it cuts off the last second or two of the phone message while they are leaving a phone number. After two replacement machines, a dozen support calls, and numerous attempts at resetting the VOX SENSITIVITY, and the AUTO DISCONNECT settings (settings which are totally hidden and buried if it wasn't for support telling me where these settings were, I would not even know about them.) I am giving up, resigning myself to living with a piece of S#%* phone machine that cuts off messages. I will buy a new one, a different brand as soon as I can find one.
I would NOT recommend for anyone to buy this phone system. For the $1000 we have invested in the system for our home office, I am certain there is a better product out there. But it is not the Panasonic KX-TG4500 nor the cordless units KX-TGA450. Stay away from this one.
Panasonic KX-TG4500B 5.8 GHz 4-Line Expandable Cordless.......2007-11-02
Loved the phone, has excellent reception so I did not agree with some of the other reviews that was posted who mentioned that the phone had poor reception.
The only negative thing I had to say about the phone is that you can not program your own ext. number. So if I wanted my ext. number to be 11, I can not do that.
Overall, very good phone system!.......2007-10-27
We needed a multi-line phone, and once you get past 2 lines, the choices are very limited. This phone has many good features, but could use some improvements. First, when listening to voicemail, it would be helpful to know which line the call came in from. Second, while you can record your own 'on hold' music, the sound quality is very poor, rendering that feature pretty much useless. Third (and maybe a bit picky), while 7 different ringer styles are offered, they're not very good. Also, as mentioned in other reviews, the ability of the person you're talking to being able to hear you clearly, is sometimes an issue. However, it is still a good phone overall, and we are able to use the separate cordless handsets (KX-TGA 450B), all over the house with no interference problem. Another great feature about the handsets is that they don't have to be wired; just plugged in! Also, the recommended headset (KX-TCA86) works well with the both the base and handset) and is very inexpensive.
piece of junk.......2007-10-26
I work from home and need a good 3-line phone for the house. After using the previous generation 4000 for about five years and experiencing the (apparently typical) problems with #1 and general quality, I decided to spring for the new version.
I was excited about new features like mute (surprisingly absent from the 4000) and speaker phone on the handsets, and figured the newer version would fix some of the general quality issues I had with the 4000.
All I can say is that this phone is a piece of junk. It is cheap, poorly constructed, and doesn't feel at all like a commercial-grade or even high-quality consumer product. Speaker phone is horrible, range is poor, call quality is bad from the base unit or handsets. Almost every conversation I have, at some point the other party asks me to speak up, or couldn't hear me or whatever.
I'm returning this phone immediately and trying the RCA product, which has gotten some bad reviews also. If that doesn't work, I don't know where to turn.
What I can't hear you........2007-08-09
Spent all this money on this phone and the volume is very low when you are on it. I purchased two additional handsets and two headsets for my business. When you are speaking on the phone, customers complain that you are talking to low and that they cannot hear you.
I like all the features on the phone but hate the reception and the fact that I have to talk loudly for someone to hear me. Would not buy another one. I called Panasonic and they basically told me that I would have to pay to get another phone. Wow. Amazon may have lost a customer to a local retailer.

Amazon.com Product Description
The Uniden TRU8866 cordless phone system offers an attractive bundle of features with room to grow. 5.8 GHz digital signal transmission offers increased call clarity and security while the impressive caller ID capabilities ensure that you'll never miss a call or lose an important number. Plus, a duplex speakerphone in the base and a standard speakerphone in the handset provide hands-free conversation options.
Housed in a professional-looking, no-nonsense black case, the phone's memory is shared between the caller ID log and the programmable memory dialing--100 names and numbers in the handset, and 100 more in the base unit. You can locate numbers using a alphabetic search tool similar to that of a typical cell phone, and the most commonly dialed numbers can be assigned to 10 speed dial presets accessed on the base unit.
The TRU8866 offers room to grow. It's expandable to 10 handsets (model #TCX860, one included). With additional handsets, you can transfer calls, transfer memory locations, and even use them as an intercom around the house or as a room monitoring system (baby monitor).
Additional features include conferencing, trilingual menu display options, distinctive ring tones, mute, hold, redial, and headset compatibility (headset sold separately). Even with additional handsets, the TRU8866 requires just one phone jack. Simply plug the base unit into a phone jack, and the additional handsets will configure themselves to "talk" directly with the base unit.

Wonderful phone system, especially with a home office.......2007-12-18
We purchased this phone when my wife started working from home and required us to need two phone lines for our house. This expandable system has worked wonderfully, we now have 2 expansion units to go with this base unit, and have had no problems. The speaker phone works well - which my wife uses most of the day for work. We appreciate the voicemail notification light, just have to make sure and check our voicemail to make the light stop blinking at night. The buttons have a nice layout and just have nothing really negative to say about this system. Got the job done nicely for us.
Clear.......2007-11-11
These phones are great. Super easy to set up and work really well in my big apt.
The light up display and MUTE functions are nice so I can see the phone ringing without having to hear it ring.
I can also see if someone is using the other line.
So far so good!
Excellent 2 line cordless speaker phone.......2007-10-26
I don't usually take the time to write a review about a product, but I felt compelled to share my positive experience with this phone.
I work at home and have a business need for a 2 line phone that is cordless and includes a decent speaker phone. I searched for several days before finding the Uniden TRU8866.
I noticed that some people had problems with their phones. I did not encounter any of the issues mentioned in other reviews. Some people complained that there is no answerig machine. I did not expect this feature since there is no mention of an answering machine in the product details or the product manual.
Listed below is my pro and con list after one week of heavy usage.
PROS:
Easy to setup
Easy to use
Many well thought out features
Very clear speaker phone
Great distance with the cordless handset
Excellent backlit screen
Call timer
Clear manual
Redial remembers last few numbers dialed
Does not interfere with my WiFi
Small footprint. Takes little desk space.
CONS:
None (Really)
Summary:
The Uniden TRU8866 is well built and designed. It offers two line capability, speaker phone, cordless handset, and many other useful features that will not interfere with your WiFi network. You will not be sorry with this phone. Just don't expect an answering machine. (LOL)
Good Job.......2007-10-04
Excellent product. Does what it claims to do with exceptional voice clarity for a cordless phone.
Observations Over the First Few Weeks.......2007-09-30
My prior cordless was a VTECH, that lasted for about 4 years, at which point the display became too hard to decipher. I purchased the Uniden for its sleek lines, many features, and brightly lit display.
The speaker phone is superb with excellent voice clarity. The phone illumitates brightly when an incoming call arrives. A mute feature allows one to stop the ringing while the call is coming in, if it is a call you wish not to answer. As a two line phone, you are able to designate which line will be operational when picked up from the handset. The belt clip is really sturdy and doesn't feel like it will break off.
I find the range of distance could use improvement. My old Vtech could get me down to my mailbox, about a 30 second walk away, but the Uniden will drop the call. Another thing I've noticed is that when a voice mail is left for me, the indicator light on the phone should be flashing, but isn't always. Still trying to figure that one out.
Oh yeah, when a call comes in on Caller ID from another area code, it doesn't appear with a 1, which is required where I live. If I want to save it in the phone book, the stored Caller ID number is useless, unless I go in and edit the entire number to include a 1. Its not intuitive, as I've tried a number of times but still haven't been able to add the 1.
Overall, I'm quite satisfied with the phone, and hope to work out these little bugs in the coming weeks.

Good phone, flawed description.......2007-12-23
I purchased this phone and an extra handset about a month ago and am very pleased with it. My only complaint is that it is described as being able to be wall mounted, but I can't see any way to do it. I kept it and put it on my desk instead of on the wall in the kitchen where I wanted it, and mostly use the two handsets.
Good phone.......2007-12-17
Good sound and lots of features. Would have really liked illuminated keys like on the cordless phone. Range on the cordless handset was a little more limited than I expected.
Good Phone!.......2007-12-12
I was looking for a good quality speakerphone and found one! This phone has clear quality on speaker. It has a great number of features. Having the remote handset is an extra plus. The speakerphone on it is not as good as the base, but still acceptable. The only thing I would want on the base is that the display would remain lighted, since it is plugged to an AC source. Also, you can choose different ringtones for different callers on the handset, but you can't on the base. What's up with that? But overall, I am satisfied with the phone.
Terrific Phone System.......2007-12-08
The Uniden TRU9488 is exactly what I've been looking for in a phone system. It gives the user the freedom of a cordless phone and the security of a corded phone. Living in an area where power outages are no rarity, that's a real plus. The sound quality on both the corded base unit and the cordless handset is crisp and clear, and the user-friendly menu walks the user step-by-step through the numerous customizable features. There's no interference with my wireless network or my two Panasonic KX-TG5622 cordless phones. One minor detractor is the lack of a lighted keypad on the base unit. On the upside, the cordless handset does come with a lighted keypad. This is definitely a five star product in my book.
I am disappointed with telephone.......2007-11-26

No Bass.......2007-12-17
They are good when you exercise that's about it, absolutely zero bass, pretty lame overall, but comfortable. The item description doesn't come close to the actual product. Typical "made in China" quality.
Sennheiser OMX50 Street Line Flexible Stereo Clip-On Earphones.......2007-11-19
I am very pleased with the sound from these headsets, and am pleased it has the online volume control. The earclip and bud combo is comfortable and allows for some adjustments so you can fit it to your ear well. I am glad I purchased this headset. The reason I gave it a 4 out 5 is because of the cord. It's thin and tangles easy. I have a concern it could snap. Also, for my useage, the cord is a bit short. So, I purchased an extension cord from Amazon and it works well. I connect it to my laptop/PC so I can listen to internet radio.
Comfort yes---Sound Quality NO.......2007-11-02
I first became familiar with the Sennheiser product line in the 80's, and looked forward to portable ipod-stlye headphones with Sennheiser quality. Right out of the box they were incredibly comfortable, but when I turned on my ipod I could not believe how hollow and tin-like the sound was. It reminded me of those drug store hand held AM radios we listened to baseball games on when we were kids. And when I wore them jogging or bicycling I couldn't get over how much ambient noise (i.e. Traffic, etc.) you hear no matter how much you turn up the volume. In fact they were such a disappointment I took them off today while jogging and tossed them in a trash can. AND I HAVE ONLY HAD THEM THREE DAYS! Let the buyer beware that they are not woth the price tag. I went back to using a pair of old-stlye headphones that came with my Sony cassette walkman. In short, Sennheiser good, but these BAD.
Bass? Really??.......2007-08-02
This set of earphones is very comfortable, and as indicated by another reviewer, the adapters are NOT different sizes, but different shapes. While this product is general well-crafted, the sound quality did not meet expectations. The mids and highs were ok, but there is very little bass response (despite the claim). Even my standard PSP headphones had more bass than these, which was quite disappointing. Also, at mid-to-high volume (not crazy-high), distortion is introduced and easily heard. I think there are definitely better alternatives out there at this price point.
Too big for my ears.......2007-08-02
I bought these for working out (weight lifting, treadmill jogging, etc.) The ear pieces are too big for my ears, meaning I really have to ram them in in order to comfortably listen. Any slight movement or jog (if you'll pardon the expression) causes the earpieces to come out slightly, requiring readjustment.
I do like the inline volume control, but do not like the asymmetrical cord. If I was into asymmetry, I'd put 13" rimz on the driver's side wheels of my car, and 15-inchers on the right. But that's not how I roll.
When they are seated well, the sound is great. Unfortunately, this is a rare occurrence. Sweat can leach into the ear canal when you are working out hard (and you *should* be working out as hard as woodpecker lips), so this is inevitable. Also, there is no covering over the silver, screen-like earphone thingy that the speaker electronics lie beneath, so I imagine that soon, a drop of sweat will short the things out.
Minus two stars because of fit.
