​Can concur; Grandstream can be decent value in their desk phones, but
their DECT cordlesses fell short in audio quality vs. the competition. It's
why I didn't recommend them in my original post.​

The Grandstream DP715 also works reasonably well, but the audio quality 
out of the handset leaves a bit to be desired. It sounds empty. Might be 
better with a headset plugged in to it.

They're very affordable as well.
