Microphone Headset for Podcasting, Webinars, Skype

When I was packing up after last Wednesday's technology workshop, I inadvertently folded my Plantronics USB DSP microphone headset and snapped one of the headset pieces. I have really enjoyed this headset for the last four years, so I was really bummed. However, I decided to take advantage of new technology and replace my trusty Plantronics wired headset with a wireless version. Of course, my first step was to do a Google search.  Once again, I found that Plantronics and Logitech were the two most recommended manufacturers. Since I was happy with my previous purchase, I opted for the Plantronics Audio .995 Wireless Headset. I'm looking forward to the next technology workshop and being able to move around the room instead of being tied to the laptop.

Amazon Description:
Plug-and-Play Wireless Functionality
Set up is as simple as can be: just plug the wireless USB adapter into your computer's USB port and you're good to go. There's no software to install, no configuration, no hassles. Once plugged in, you'll be able to roam up to 40 feet from your desk without interrupting your PC calls or music. And thanks to the convenient on-ear controls, the .Audio 995 lets you skip tracks and adjust volume on iTunes and Windows Media Player remotely.

Outstanding, Full-Range Audio Quality

The .Audio 995 features dual 40 mm speakers that deliver crisp, clean treble with deep, rich bass. The sound is so clean and rich that you won't believe it's wireless. Whether you're listening to music, playing a game, or watching your favorite DVD, you'll hear every detail.

Make Crisp and Clear Internet Calls
Experience exceptional call quality when you use the .Audio 995 to make Internet calls with Skype or other Internet phone services. The person you're talking to will also hear you with superior clarity thanks to the headset's noise-canceling microphone, which is designed to reduce background noise. And thanks to the Fast Mic Mute feature, you can quickly mute the microphone by simply raising the boom.

Smart, Adjustable Design for All-Day Comfort
The .Audio 995 sports a lightweight design that stays comfortable all day and all night, making it perfect for listening to music during all-night study or marathon gaming sessions. The adjustable headband lets you customize the fit, and the soft, swivel-mounted speakers cushion the ears comfortably.
