For a more modern example of a bad choice of hold music, let’s take an example I have to endure on a regular basis, Month of Sundays by Passenger. At CD quality it’s got lots of interesting stuff going on, which you’d imagine might be ideal to distract someone from the fact they’re being kept on hold for ages. However, playing it over the phone it’s simply too busy. As soon as the brass and backing vocals kick in it just sounds yuck.

We put together some resources for a mix of both free-to-use and royalty-free hold music:
USA Business Telephone Today conducted a survey of 30,000 callers to study the effects of hold music, or the lack of it, for a single minute. More than half the callers who were put on hold without any auditory stimulation hung up. The silence affected the rest of the group’s perception of time: More than 27 percent thought their wait time exceeded five minutes, and 18 percent thought it exceeded three minutes. Only 3 percent judged their wait time to be close to the actual one-minute timeframe. All of the callers in the study had listened to dead air for only 60 seconds.
A very good experience in buying wireless headsets. Several supplier were not helpful and I was looking for someone that knows their stuff before we buy the products. I have come across these guys and especially Scott has been very helpful and has run through the set up process step by step with me and also agreed that he would take the product back if I test it and it does not work with my RingCentral Cisco 8861 phones.Really cant praise enough the service from this company. They would be my first point of contact in future for any headset requirements.
