Watch out for plugging the adapter properly!
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!

Works Great – Once Properly Plugged In!
I'm using the OPIS 60s micro handset with my iPhone 15. At first, I thought it didn’t work—the mic didn’t pick up my voice. Then I realized the plug wasn’t fully inserted into my USB-C adapter. Once I pushed it in all the way, everything worked perfectly! The audio is clear, the retro design is a fun twist, and it’s much more comfortable for long calls than holding the phone to my ear. I also bought this to reduce direct mobile phone radiation to my head—and it’s a great solution for that too. Highly recommended!

Doesn't work for long
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 get what you pay for
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.

Great for Teams/Zoom Calls
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.

It is just like a vintage handset
This handset is a nice smooth plastic, with heft. Especially for older adults, it is much easier to hold than to hold a cellphone. The sound is good. The important thing is to make sure the adaptor is good quality, and is pushed in properly, if the cellphone doesn't have a jack input (newer models do not). I bought this for an 88 year old and I might buy one for myself next. For what it's worth, I had one made of that rubbery material that gets sticky with time, and I hated touching it - but it was more comfortable for long conversations. This new handset is so much better than that one.
