Yealink MP45

Works perfect even when the computer is locked. The worst thing is having a call come in and having to rush to unlock, wait, and then have everything slow to a crawl while you're trying to answer. This solves it completely. No software to install, literally just plug it in. My neighbor is going to buy one.

I ordered this, understanding that it was a no-frills desktop interface to Microsoft Teams on my laptop. Basically just an external microphone/speaker sitting on my desk. I didn't expect any functionality other than that. HOWEVER, for $100 I expect it to have dependable, crystal-clear audio! Instead, I had colleagues on several calls report a "strange echo" when I joined, and the audio kept dropping out every 5 seconds or so on my end. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING!

Purchased for work. Does not integrate with Team calling fully and customer support said was a bug and they were working to resolve. No reaolutiom was provided.

So I started using the “Yealink MP45 USB Phone Handset”, designed specifically for Microsoft Teams, and it's become an essential part of my home office setup as of recently. Certified for Microsoft Teams, this device strikes a perfect balance between functionality and simplicity, offering a more cost-effective solution compared to its counterpart, the Yealink MP50. Right out of the box, the MP45 impresses with its build quality… it feels substantial in hand, complete with anti-slip rubber feet, ensuring it stays put on my desk. Additionally, the option to connect a headset on top of the handset functionality enhances its versatility in my daily communication tasks. So setting up the MP45 was a breeze, truly embodying the plug-and-play ethos… There was no need to fumble around with drivers or installation software. I simply connected it to my PC using the provided USB A or USB C cable, and it was ready to go within moments. Microsoft Teams recognized the device instantly, even with the latest updates, which speaks volumes about its compatibility and ease of use. The inclusion of a dedicated Teams button to launch the app directly from the handset is a thoughtful touch that streamlines my workflow. The handset features a responsive, Android-based touch screen ( wish it was a Apple one that I could merge with the Apple eco system already setup in my household) that displays call information clearly. Navigating through the interface is snappy, allowing me to access and manage call functions effortlessly. Audio quality during calls is exceptionally clear and has superior sound. These features collectively enhance the overall user experience, making the MP45 a standout choice for anyone who relies on Microsoft Teams for communication. Side note though, the MP45 is not without its minor drawbacks… One notable omission is the automatic setting of the date and time. While it's possible to adjust these settings manually, the lack of an automatic option is a slight inconvenience that detracts from the otherwise seamless experience. Despite this, the MP45's strengths far outweigh this minor issue, making it a negligible concern in the grand scheme. Overall the Yealink MP45 USB Phone Handset is a fantastic addition to my desk. Its seamless integration with my Microsoft Teams, coupled with exceptional build quality and sound clarity, makes it an ideal choice for remote workers or anyone looking to enhance their communication setup. The simplicity of assembly, along with the convenience of both USB A and USB C connectivity, ensures that getting started is quick and hassle-free. While the manual setting of the date and time is a minor flaw, it doesn't diminish the overall value and performance of the device.

This is a cool phone handset. I like the digital touch display screen. It is easy to operate and the calls are clear. I would recommend for any home, office, personal or professional use. This could also be a nice housewarming or gift idea.
