Thank you for sharing this information Jack.
We too have had our troubles with lab headsets. Currently, we are
in the process of trying to replace the iCommunicator headset for our
iMac lab. We purchased a dozen in late summer for $60.00 per set and
now more than half are broken.
I am looking for a USB headset (headphone w/ mic) to replenish our
inventory. The iCommunicator is now down to $40.00 but I'd like to
find a more durable, (over the top of head as opposed to back of
head), full-size headset.
Recommendations are greatly appreciated.
Respectfully,
erin
