4. AEG Boomerang 10 - Best Cordless Solution For Appearance In Design
Best DECT Phones For Business 2020
Looking for a unique design and an ergonomically friendly DECT solution? The AEG Boomerang 10 fits this description very well, looking vastly different to any of the other DECT handsets we have previously mentioned. The boomerang design is (unsurprisingly) based on the phones shape, the phone, when plugged in and charging masks the appearance of a boomerang - Which is cool enough without us even having to mention its best features!
Pros:
230 hours standby time
13 hours talk time
200 metre outdoor range
200 phone book entries
4 handset expandable
Fast charging time
Exceptional design quality
Cons:
Very expensive and probably not worth the price compared to more affordable brands
Low headset and speaker volume
No answering machine (What?!!!)
Cost: Prices seem to range between $250.00 - S$400.00, however, stock seems limited online, this product is also quite expensive even taking the design into consideration.
Overall Rating: 6.5/10
Overall, if you are looking for an effective DECT solution for your office, you need to take some factors into consideration, will you be walking around? Do you have difficulty hearing? Do you think you'll be using it a lot for talk time purposes? All of these kinds of questions will definitely help you make the right choice for your new DECT handset solution.
