------------------
Can anyone out there recommend a computer lab headset that is both 
sturdy and affordable.  We've primarily used headsets from Koss 
(SB40, R-50b, R-65b).  Koss has a great warranty but their headsets 
all have weaknesses in a classroom setting (lousy mikes, head bands 
that break off,  weak cords, etc). We purchased a Telex H-51 headset 
but the build quality is only marginally better than Koss.  Telex 
makes a more rugged headset (Discovery series DS-8V) that we'll be 
testing soon. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
