In order to achieve this object, in the curl cord of the present invention, two microphone lines connected to a differential input type microphone are respectively wired at approximately the same distance from a single speaker line connected to a single end output type speaker. Thereby, noise signals caused by cross-talk to the microphone lines from the speaker line transmitting the voice signal of the transmitting party will be of the same phase and same amplitude. By cancelling out these noise signals by means of common mode rejection in the differential amplifier provided in the base unit, it is possible to reduce the echoing back of unwanted voice to the transmitting party.
