With a maximum range of 300 m outdoors and HSP technology that enhances sound clarity, it provides a satisfying calling experience. Additionally, the 20 customizable ringtones and backlit buttons add a touch of practicality and comfort, especially in low-light conditions. However, the product has some notable drawbacks.

Furthermore, voice dialing and caller ID are missing, which limits usability convenience. It is also worth noting that the design is not particularly suited for elderly individuals, which may restrict its accessibility for this audience.
