Customer Reviews

Looked better than it performed.
I was very impressed by the look and feel of the handsets and if they operated as well good as they looked I would have kept them. There were two negatives:-
1. During a telephone conversation you could hear your own voice through the earpiece. Playing around with the setup (XHD sound off) made little or no difference.
2. Several times a day the "upstairs" phone would ring advising that the phone was trying to connect to the "downstairs" base station. This would happen in the middle of the night. The phone had no facility to turn off this audible warning.

Took the phone back and exchanged it for a 3 pack Panasonic.

Very happy with my new purchase, a little cheaper too.

Pricey, But Superb Quality
A brilliant phone combination, excellent in-call phone quality and sensationally simple to set up and use.

A quality product and one that ticks all the boxes is hard to find however, if you need a good quality phone, you cannot go wrong with this combination.

Excellent quick set up guide and to be honest, that is all you need to get up and running. Once you are used to using them, the very detailed instruction manual reveals the 'added' benefits of a superior product.

I am glad to own them.

Dissapointing sound quality
I recently purchased the Philips SE6552B/05 XD cordless phone after having read mixed, but mostly positive reviews. The handset itself looks good and the fact that one needs to set up the phonebook only once and can do it from either handset (as opposed to having to re-enter every number separately on each handset) is a great feature. But I'm afraid that's where its positive attributes end. The reaction time of the menu buttons (ie. Redial and Phonebook buttons) is slow, which can be frustrating when one is in a hurry. There is a flashing light on the phone when one has missed calls which will only stop flashing if one views all the missed call numbers, which is unnecessary. Finally, the sound quality is very disappointing, as - when on the phone- the person on the other end of the line sounds like he/she is talking from a speakerphone (well, it's almost that bad). Also the choice for wallpaper and ring tones is quite limited. This is not a phone that's worth considering. I'm sure there are much better cordless phones out there for less money.
