Which Headset Do You Use.....
« on: March 21, 2007, 08:42:52 pm »
Looking to find out which headsets people are using on the clamshell Zaurii (I have a sl-c1000) when they make VOIP phonecalls, so the headset needs to have 1+ earpiece(s) and a microphone.
I am also interested in knowing how happy they are with their particular recommendations.
Many thanks.

if you search the forum this has been covered in a variety of forms, but always interesting to find out if people have discovered better ways of doing it.

I bought a mono  over-ear headset, chopped the plugs off and wired on a 3.5mm stereo jack, works well with my 3100 with "kphone". No good for music, but fine for voice.

I'm going to have a go with a four-pole plug to try and make a stereo headset + microphone Y cable and thus get stereo sound and microphone function at the same time, and put an inline box in the mic lead to make a remote control.
