Out of 50+ headsets, none has broken. It uses a nice unidirectional mic, has mic mute and volume control on the cord, and padded earpieces. Though it retails for some $109/ea, we've gotten them for as little as $65 from Amazon and CDW (after a little volume discount haggling). http://plantronics.com/north_america/en_US/products/cat640035/cat1430032/prod440 044 -John ___________________________________________ John de Szendeffy Multimedia Language Lab Center for English Language and Orientation Programs Boston University 890 Commonwealth Ave., 2nd floor Boston, MA 02215 USA ph 617.353.7957 fx 617.353.6195 lab http://www.bu.edu/celop/mll/ personal http://people.bu.edu/johndesz/ On Feb 10, 2005, at 2:07 PM, LLTI-Editor wrote: --- Excerpt: --- Forwarded Message from "Vito Brondolo" <[log in to unmask]> --- Hi! I am looking around for a good USB PC headset to be used with Audacity to record students' voice digitally. Does anyone have any good recommendations? It should not be extremely expensive. Sturdiness is of course a plus :) Thanks in advance for your help.
