406674 2005-11-22 21:58:00 Can anyone recommend a headset or handset for Skype that they have found to be useful and useable?

DSE are selling the LASER USB VOIP phone for about $60. The alternatives are headsets with a built-in microphone. Which do you prefer. Which brand and model?

Cheers

406676 2005-11-23 03:30:00 I brought a headset with mic down the road for $12.

Works with Opera, Skype, and MS office, for speech recognition. You dont need any fancy rubbish.

Altho this pic shows that the headset is padded, it isnt.

406677 2005-11-23 03:37:00 You could get carried away and buy a fancy one like this (www.sicom.co.nz/xurl/function/viewprd/prd_id/111943/skype-cordless-2in1-internet-telephone.html). :cool: Graham L (2)
406678 2005-11-23 03:48:00 Or rip a wireless phone (I think they mean cordless)? to bits, and make your own.

Whether it works with anything BUT a Siemens phone, is another matter.

Thanks for the advice guys . My initial thoughts were that a simple headset similar to the one Speedy linked to would be fine, but I imagined that if you used Skype for any length of time, a headset might be quite limiting, hence the more traditional handset DSE are selling . Anyone have any other views on this?
