Opis 60s Micro : Retro Phone Handset with USB-C and AUX 3.5mm Plug as a Classic Vintage Telephone Receiver for Cell Mobile Phones (Black)

I'm using this retro handset with both my iPhone 15 (via a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter) and my laptop for calls — and I love it! The sound quality is excellent, it reduces electro smog, and it's much more comfortable to hold during longer conversations than a mobile phone or headset.At first, I thought the microphone was defective because people couldn't hear me. Thankfully, the customer service was fantastic and quickly sent me a troubleshooting checklist. The issue turned out to be user error: I hadn't fully plugged the 3.5mm handset plug into the USB-C adapter. It needs a bit of force to snap in, but once it's properly connected, it works flawlessly and stays secure.Great product — just make sure all the plugs are firmly seated!

We've stopped using telephones at work and everybody talks to each other with Teams or Zoom even if they don't want video. Most people have decided to give up their desk phones for extra real estate, including me.But using Teams with headphones or ear buds for unplanned calls is awkward. You have to keep them nearby even if they're not plugged in all the time, then fumble with them when a call comes in. I didn't like it so I bought one of these.Now it sits next to my docking station, plugged in and waiting for a call. I just pick it up and answer on the screen. It's great! From a lifetime of experience I'm good for a long time holding it without much tsuris, and if I get tired I can just switch to buds. As it's still new, it's made for some fun conversations as people see it for the first time on a video call.There are cheaper versions of this idea on Amazon, but I went with this one based on reviews and features. This one doesn't have any buttons to break or not work, and the sound is really very good - especially for those listening to me from a microphone right in front of my mouth. The handset is nice and heavy in the hands, substantial but not too much. You could definitely use it as a club to good effect, LOL. Edit: The short turned out to be in the docking station, not the phone. No problems with this item.

When I first used this with the USB, it was wonderful. That lasted about a month. It was just okay using only the jack. Now - a couple months later - it doesn't work at all. Unfortunately, didn't get around to returning it in time. So I'm stuck with it. When I asked the Q&A why it quit working, the answer was that customers didn't like this product for that reason. Gee - thanks, Amazon.

You really do get what you pay for. I had bought a wireless Bluetooth version of the one on the right in the pics a while back.. of course mom never used it since it was BT which defeated the "easy" purpose for her. I finally found a wired version about the same quality (maybe even the exact same shell since this cheap one has the same light on it, but they wired it, so it's useless on this one), and for roughly 10-12 bucks - cheap. It worked, but it amazed me how so many things can be so super cheaply or poorly made.. and what really made me write this review and triggered some "OCD" is, how do you cheap out on a short 1/8 inch wire connection, or worse, mess up the orientation of the ear piece and mouthpiece?? The old phones had the smaller concave earpiece with a few holes. I didn't realize how uncomfortable it gets after a while having it protrude with multiple holes as is on the cheap one (not this one). This is very poor quality control. It's a very basic design that's been around since forever, and it bugged me to no end that the design on the cheap one is reversed, as seen in the pics. HOWEVER - this 60s Micro retro one (on the left in the pics for this listing) - is WAY better in quality and design all around - the build is solid, it's got that classic glossy look, they got the orientation right, and the wire is not only much longer, but doesn't crackle from terrible connectors or cheap wiring, nor does it cause cellular INTERFERENCE NOISE and echoes like the cheap one did. In fact, when mom plugged it in, her voice was actually louder and clearer than using the mobile phone by itself (maybe that's unusual, but true in this case). It's a bit heavier, but sturdy always wins, IMO. I do miss the buttons to end or answer a call (which I did like about the cheap one, but even with that, it did some strange things on the phone when pressed), but I can live without it since the phone is within reach anyway and your call ends when the other person hangs up, too. Overall, a great product so far. Kudos.

This is a quality handset. It is a hard plastic, and about the same weight as the original telephone handset I grew up with. I bought this to get the RF away from my head, and to improve the audio in both directions over just the phone. The handset ear cups to my ear, cutting out outside noise, and the mouthpiece is right where it should be. My phone, a Droid Turbo 2, has two speakers at the lower end of the screen, and the microphone is on the backside of the phone, a small hole. This is such a great improvement with the handset! For those who have cut the cord and have only a cellphone, this is for you, for home and for business. Long calls with family are more enjoyable, both in audio quality and in comfort of holding a handset vs a cellphone. There are no volume controls or answer/end call buttons on the handset. You still use your phone for these controls. With the handset plugged in, my phone itself (using its own speakers) announce incoming calls (ring tones), then I tap answer on the phone and use the handset for conversing. Just wonderful, comfortable, and safer. Bluetooth buds can't compare, in my opinion. Privacy is secured with a wired handset.

The handset is more stable than I expected, it feels like a real telephone handset (also in terms of weight). I can easily clamp it on my shoulder/ear. Works fine with my Iphone 16, have ordered 2 more for work. However, the 3.5mm plug has to be firmly inserted into the USB-C adapter socket, but then it holds very well.
