Product information
The Telephone Receiver – Nostalgia & Luxury in One Stylish Gadget
There are things that nobody really needs—and yet you still want them. For me, the HERB Phone Executive Edition is exactly that kind of thing. A real telephone handset in high-gloss red, with my coat of arms on the outside of the case, connected via a coiled fabric cable with a USB-C connector. Not some gimmick from the electronics store, but a piece of equipment.
Do you know that feeling when a call suddenly takes on a sense of importance? That’s exactly what happens here. The handset feels heavy and substantial in your hand, your ear rests where it’s supposed to, and your cell phone stays put. You control the volume and answer calls using the buttons on the handset—you don’t even have to touch your phone.
I keep mine on my desk, right next to my laptop. I use it to take long calls—the kind where I’d normally walk around the office with my phone pressed to my ear—while sitting down. And yes: there’s hardly a video meeting where someone doesn’t ask what that is.
Special features:
- USB-C port—plug it in directly, no adapter, no pairing, no battery.
- Buttons on the handle—answer and end calls, turn the volume up and down.
- Built-in microphone—speak and listen through the headset; leave your phone on the desk.
- Braided fabric cable – in red, more durable than traditional rubber cables.
- HERB logo – embossed on the outside of the case, visible while you’re on the phone.
- High-gloss red finish – the reason everyone’s asking about it.
- Ergonomic design – made for calls that last longer than three minutes.
- Ready to use right out of the box – for all devices with a USB-C port.

Rechtliche Hinweise
Phone Executive Edition
It used to sit on my desk as a joke. Now I hold it in my hand whenever something's at stake.
For long calls
With the receiver in your hand, you call upstairs. The CEO, a major client, the guy everyone says you can’t reach. With your cell phone to your ear, you ask. With the receiver in your hand, you say, “Hello.” It’s the same sentence, but with two completely different results. Your direct line to the boss!
Executive Edition means: no half measures.
Why red?
Black would have been the sensible choice. Then you’d still have an ’80s phone sitting on your desk, but nobody would ask you about it. And the questions are the best part. It works. I can save the understatement for another time.
