Jack,
        We've been testing the Plantronics DSP 500. Panther spots it
immediately on a G4 or G5. It has the converter built into a
sufficiently long cable for lab use. It also sports and in-cable
volume with mute. It sounds good and records well. I haven't mangae
to break it in two weeks so it's reasonlably sturdy. The boom is
somewhat flexible yet seems solid enough for lab use. I'll have to
give that more time and there's always the vandal factor to consider
but, all said and done,  I will be ordering a few more to put out in
the lab for more extensive field abuse (testing). Cost is around
$63.00 each. MVK
