Panasonic New DECT 6.0 Cordless Phone Handset Accessory Talking Caller ID Compatible with KX-TGM450S Series Cordless Phone Systems - KX-TGMA45S (Silver)

My husband works for the Railroad & yrs ago, he had to fix a Horn that was stuck and lost some of his hearing... other home phones just weren't loud enough, where I had to talk for him ... I bought these specifically for the BOOST feature (for extra loudness)... this works well , now he has no trouble hearing any conversation . A few other things I love about these phones... the SLOW feature, when playing back a message -when someone is saying a return phone # too fast...you can SLOW it down and catch the #, without repeating the message again & again.. I also LOVE that it holds 100 names/ numbers in it's Phone book (last phone only held 50)... that it has a WHITE backlit display uses larger lettering, very helpful to read from a distance - has blinking red lights too...also goes a very nice distance from the house ... about 400 ft away, it's still working clearly from the house... Another feature I love is : you can set the phone to SPEAK the # each time it is pressed, so you "hear" it -- I have never seen this feature before on a phone. We use MAGIC JACK with this phone.. no problems at all.. works GREAT.. There is a blocking feature , I have no used this yet... it has a number of "Groups" you can list your names/ numbers under to help find them quicker... and you can designate a different RING to each group...which is also very nice! The handset itself is heavier & larger than what I was used to, but with all these wonderful features (& more I haven't explored yet)... I was compelled to write this review ... these phones are expensive.. but they are HIGH QUALITY & can really help those who want a larger clear display and need a boost in Hearing.

Its loud !!!

All those directions!! A lot to plow through, we probably won't ever use most of it. But it seems fine, it is quite loud, which we wanted, and it does what we ask of it. I gave it 4/5 stars only because we just got it, and I read reviews where it quit working so after it was received, so holding off on judgement.

I purchased the KX-TGF575S system but found that the handset speakerphone is not very loud and with some calls almost unusable. This handset is from the amplified phone systems. There are several handsets that have this amplified handset speaker as well as handset speakerphone. The question I had was will it register with my new system. I found the "Panasonic Telephone Handset Compatibility Cross-Reference and Owners Manual Locator" document. There are many Panasonic systems that the amplified handset will register or "work" with. Yes "work" in this case means be realistic the amplified handset isn't exactly like the handset in the other system so it will have different buttons and may not do everything. If sound is what matters and you can live with a couple things being different, than it "works". The Handset Compatibility document has foot notes about compatibility but keep what I mentioned in mind. So far everything that matters to me works. Make SURE your system allows another handset to be registered!! It depends on the base you have and how many handsets you have registered, you can always remove one if needed. The handset registered, the phone book works, the answering system works, My Bluetooth Paired Cellphone still rings and I can answer a call from it on the amplified handset!! The display is different on the amplified handset so you have to accept that part. There isn't a button for "Assist" that allows the voice assistant function and I haven't found a way to use that on this handset, but the things that do work mean more to me than that does. That may be a deal breaker for some people so understand the possible things that may not work and choose accordingly. Sound level is MUCH louder than the new systems handsets on the handset speaker and speakerphone and that's WITHOUT the boost button on. It's more like the original Panasonic phones that were so great like my old stub antenna 5.8 Panasonic handsets that were tanks and fifteen or more years later still work. I like this product and I'm picky being an engineer. No of course it's not perfect, I'm sure I could list many things that I would improve if I wanted to, but its a cordless phone.

Fits right in!

This phone has everything I need and the quality is well worth the little extra cost. It is extremely difficult to find a phone with a headphone jack and this one has one. Most phones including cell phones hurt my ear after even a short period of use, this one doesn't. The volume is great even without the boost and the boost works as advertised. And a bonus that I did not notice until recently is that it flashes bright red at the top of the handset when there is a message waiting at my phone company voice mail. The phone may be a bit heavy for some, but I like it because it feels solid. I am hoping that if ever I need another phone, this one is still in production. I would buy it again in a heartbeat. Well worth the money. You get for what you pay rings so true for this phone.

These phones, while expensive, are very loud. Please note that the somewhat lower priced set are only 40 decibels while this model is 50 decibels. Set up is simple and the battery will hold a charge for a very long time. The handsets and base station are very well made and had a lot of heft as compared to your typical non-amplified wireless handset. These phones can be used alongside any of your other phones including wireless phones. Just disable the other phone's answering machine feature. These phones have a limitation of six handsets that can be paired to the base station. Contact numbers are stored at the base station as such all the phones automatically update for any changes made to your contacts names and phone numbers. All in all a very good handset for severely hearing impaired individuals albeit a little pricey.

I bought this to go with the compatible base and handset we’ve had for years. Bad idea. This is useless! The screen goes blank, and the phone goes dead, after a few seconds off of the stand. While on the stand, it beeps occasionally, like an old smoke detector in need of a new battery. Needless to say, I will be returning this.

As advertised

So far. So good. It was easy to pair with my other Panasonic cordless phones. Makes it much easier for my hard of hearing husband to be able to use the phone and much less frustrating for those trying to talk to him on the phone.
