You might try different headsets. If that doesn't help and you've
compared it to your friend's, then you may need to have it looked at.

Hi list,
Is the sound quality of the BP supposed to have a fuzzy kind of
staticky
background? I live in Louisville and will be seeing someone who works
at
APH this weekend who will take a look at it for me, but I just wondered
if
any of you have this problem?

USB
> 4. Reminder features (appointment calendar).
> 5. Dishwasher Attachment.
