skype ph. headset

miketv

hi ya,
doing the kinda lazy way about this. Yes just got skype and looking for a headset. I'm going into town after work today and know they are lots of electrical places that sell them. So just wondering would anybody recomend any type of headset or not recommend a particular shop headset. Obviously the cheapest the best but if a cheap one = crap so dont mind paying more if its worth it
thanks for yer help
Mike

Why get a headset when you can get a phone?

amm well no particular reason Keyzer i suppose, I guess the main disadvantage is you have to hold it? which if playing a game or surfing while talking could be a pain.
do you find the phone better?

actually blahblah06 do you have this model? slight on the expensive side but if you swear by it...

Hi Mike, I got this a few weeks back for skype and games etc. I 100% swear by its. its bloody fantastic. theres another thread on here with loads of ppl commenting on it. the lead is huge so you have no bother reaching for something etc. superb comfort well worth the cash.

A basic one will work fine. I use a Creative Labs one that cost me about €14 and it works great.

Sorry for the late answer - I miss the old search facility sooo much

The set I have is this one . The sound is great and it is very confortable. I sometimes forget I have it on (it goes around the back of your head).

I have also the same set without the mic for listening to my MP3 player, and I am very happy with it.

I bought mine in the UK, but I have seen it in shops in Dublin. Should be easy to find...
