Reviews of the Plantronics Calisto Pro Series Cordless Landline/VoIP Phone, Silver/Black

  • 7.0

    CNET Review

    February 29, 2008

    The Good: The Plantronics Calisto Pro Series is a home phone system with a Bluetooth headset, which can be used with the landline, cell phones, as well as VoIP. Sound quality is excellent, and setup is easy and painless.

    The Bad: The Plantronics Calisto Pro Series does not fully integrate with your cell phone, and we would've liked to see a better sync with VoIP services. Also, the Bluetooth headset takes a while to fit properly, and there's a little bit of background static.

    The Bottom Line: Though the Plantronics Calisto Pro Series is easy to use and has excellent sound quality, we ultimately wanted more cell phone and VoIP integration.
