Opis Technology 60s Micro USB-C Edition Telephone Handset, Black

Great sound quality, ease of use. Nice, "heavy" as in quality, and not cheap built. Yet the receivers are not any heavier then a regular good quality, land-line phone receiver. One thing we've noticed is the sound is plenty loud at the lowest cell phone setting and and I am hard of hearing and use land-line phones specially made for hearing impaired people at home. The primary reason we purchased was/is the minimizing of radiation when used with a cell phone. Colors are cute. Lots of positive comments by people who see us using the colored receivers. This is our 4th order. Have given them out to a friend, 2 doctors, and family. Elderly can hear better then with a regular cell phone alone and much more comfortable. Everybody but one so far has commented on them profusely and loves them! The one who hasn't commented is a doctor we haven't had a chance to see since we sent it to him as a gift. One of our doctors upon receiving it called us and was very grateful as he is doing a lot of voice correspondence with the corona virus going on with his patients and appreciated the minimizing of radiation when using a cell phone. He absolutely loved it! One thing we noticed is people are simply not aware these are out there except for one relative who we found out has been using one. We've had ours for about 2-3 months with no problems. Purchased 7 so far. They make great, useful and unique gifts. BTW...we had a major problem with DHL delivering and having our last order on hold for a week or so. We finally got a hold of OPIS and they gave me a link to AmazonUK and we finally got almost instant response and delivery from DHL who we had spent several hours over 6 days getting the "run around" and 4 missed deliveries. That said....OPIS responded to my 2 emails probably within about 10 minutes each time. Can't say how your experience will be if you buy these but ours has been great except for 1 delivery issue. I will probably order again to give away as gifts. Love the pink, red, blue and teal colors, those are the ones we bought. Good luck! To whom it may concern nobody paid us anything or bribed us in any way, shape or form to write these comments and we are in no way associated with Amazon or OPIS. Here's hoping they last for years. That said I pretty much always look at the 1 or 2 star comments to see why people don't like something and weigh it with all the positive comments. I've found this to be of great benefit when purchasing and I think has saved me a lot of trouble. Very happy with the OPIS retro receivers.

The handset arrived next day delivery! I'm impressed! I decided to get rid of my landline for a saving of £204/year by replacing my landline phone with my 4G mobile phone. (My Huawei P20 Pro Smartphone does not have an earphone socket, but came with a USB C adapter that plugs into the mobile USB C socket into which the "60s MICRO PHONE" plugs in, and it works perfectly). I installed a guitar hanger above where my landline phone used to sit which works really well as a secure holder for the phone, and connects with my mobile phone that rests on the shelf that was used for my landline phone. (see photo). The reason that I was looking for a handset like this was because it occurred to me that using my mobile phone more at home would mean greater exposure to microwave radiation. So after a bit of Googling I discovered this retro handset on Amazon which arrived today, and I am well pleased! 😁😁😁 I was initially skeptical about the quality and performance of this handset because I had read very negative reviews of similar handsets that had a wireless/Bluetooth connection with on/off switch and volume control but quality of the speaker was seriously criticised. By contrast reviews of this "60s MICRO" were very positive. And I received a prompt and reassuring response to an email that I sent to the Seller. The handset itself has a quality and solid feel to it. This is NOT a cheap plastic TOY. There are no buttons to press and no batteries. You select 'Answer' or 'Reject' on your mobile. When the call is ended it automatically closes the connection when the Caller hangs up. I've made a couple of calls today to mobiles and the call quality at both ends was good. I was concerned that I wouldn't hear the "60s MICRO'phone ring when plugged in, but it is my mobile that gives a good clear, loud, ring, so no way I would miss a call. And both phone handset and mobile phone can be taken anywhere in the house just like a cordless phone. I am able to access the Internet on my mobile whilst the "60s MICRO" is plugged in. I have also used the handset with WhatsApp and connection and sound quality were good. This 'simple' handset does everything that my landline does, and much more. And you don't have to be technically minded to use it. It couldn't be simpler. Most importantly it reduces exposure to microwave radiation when making frequent or lengthy telephone calls.

I bought this handset to use with my iPhone 7, and was initially disappointed when it would not work, even with a lightning to 3.5mm jack adaptor fitted. Luckily I read a previous review which advised that you need the correct adaptor as some of them are designed for headphones only and will not enable the microphone. I purchased a genuine Apple adaptor and "hey presto" instant success, plug and play, that's it. Physically it seems well made, heavy-ish, sound quality is lacking a bit of bass compared to the phone itself but not a problem, otherwise it's loud & clear (volume is controlled by the phone itself) and very easy to use.

Love this is brought my sister one too, it helped when I was on a course at home which was confidential. It takes me back to the good old days..

Absolute rubbish! Could not get it to work on any mobile phone. Still have to send it back. What a pain!

Such a brilliant idea! Anyone of a certain age will appreciate using this retro-cool handset which plugs into the mobile's charging port. It makes talking on a cell phone a much more enjoyable experience, as the handset is so much nicer to hold than a little rectangular slab. It allows you to keep the phone (and all the radiation it emits) away from your head. And it also means you don't have to use the speaker phone -- not only you, but probably anyone else in the room, too, will appreciate you being able to have a private conversation. This is an authentic handset (not one of those silly pretend, cheap plastic things), with the proper weight, look and feel of the real thing, and it comes in an array of great colors. I myself have one each in bright blue, white, and green, and they all look sensational. NOTE: This version works with Android phones, but there is a version of the handset for iPhones as well. I needed to purchase a separate Lightning to Headphone Jack adapter for my iPhone 14 (it was easy to find here). It's a terrific product, so why only three stars? Well, unfortunately, one of my handsets stopped working after about a year -- no sound coming in the earpiece or out of the mouthpiece. It just simply quit. But my other two handsets still work perfectly, and it's been a few years now. So I probably just got a dud, and hopefully that is highly unusual. And to be fair to the seller, I didn't get let them know about the issue, and give them the opportunity to replace the handset.

Most wonderful contraption. I use it to converse with my dear father, who also has one, (though his Opis is regulation black, while mine is the most funky green.) We have a jolly good chit-chat of an eve! In all seriousness this is a great bit of kit - the earpiece on my mobile phone has always been quiet, but with this receiver plugged into it I can hear people perfectly and I even have to turn the volume down to half. My hand also gets less sore than it does when holding my mobile phone to my ear during long chats, I just find the Opis much more ergonomic. (And I'm hardly senior, I'm in my 30's...) Some have commented about the weight of the receiver being a bit much, but I remember some old phones still being around when I was a little kid and I don't find it much of an issue, and makes it seem more authentic. Plus, as far as I'm concerned it beats holding a hot mobile phone next to your head anyday. This receiver is perfect for longer chit chats while on your mobile at home, (Or internet chat) it's of good build quality, and it's also a great talking point too. I recommend!

Outstanding!, a great 'Retro' addition to your mobile phone, especially 'oldies' like me who miss the feel of a good weighty handset. It even sounds like a proper phone used to, love it, this WILL be the talk of the office when I go back to work. Update: 5/1/2026 I love this so much I have just bought another one for my personal mobile

This phone worked right out of the box, one to a Samsung A32 via audio port, and also to a Samung A35 with included adapter via the USB C port. The adapter didn't work cross platform to iPhone via USB C but I bought a couple cheap ones and now it will work on both! Great phone! Fair price! The weight feels good like the older phone type that it is simulating. The sound worked well, and the cup shaped receiver over your ear helps a lot when using a cell phone, and no hitting buttons accidentally with my face. We'll see how long it lasts, but at this point I may buy another one for my Dad. Great device for the price!

Il prodotto non viene descritto fino in fondo, buona qualità anche se troppo pesante nell'utilizzo. Non sono presenti i pulsanti di chiusura telefonata e gestione del volume.

J'ai acheté ce combiné parce qu'il m'a amusé (outre la nostalgie du "bon vieux temps" qu'il évoque). L'expérience de le sortir de sa poche pour répondre à un appel, dans un lieu public, ou transport en commun, puis de l'utiliser de façon très naturelle dans ce contexte, ne manque jamais son effet !... Rigolade garantie ! Par ailleurs la qualité audio des communications est très bonne, ce qui ne gâche pas le plaisir. Et ce combiné de bonne facture est agréable à tenir en main. Enfin, le vendeur (Opis Technology) a répondu très sympathiquement et rapidement à la question que je lui ai posée.

J'avais un petit doute quant à la qualité de ce combiné. J'avais tort !!! Bel objet. Le plastique est de qualité qui rappelle nos bons vieux combinés S63 d'antan. Il ne fait pas si vintage que çà...... Je l'utilise sur un Nokia Lumia 640 sans avoir eu besoin d'utiliser l'adaptateur fourni. Pas de souci, le son est nickel.

Muy cómodo y trae recuerdos al usarlo
