As a preamble, I have always been pleased with the hyper Siemens phone and have been for over 15 years and this purchase, I went a little eyes closed for two Gigaset handsets. From a home perspective where the telephone is installed, not much to say, a listening that has nothing extraordinary but very correct. Where it gets complicated is the interlocutor of the side to which the conversation is barely audible (metallic voice of kind old phone booth ...). No pb when I put the old phone, the line is not involved. In the end, I have to buy another device because the phone conversations are not possible with it.
