I've had good luck with the G930 7.1 Wireless Gaming Headset from Logitech. It has a small USB dongle which shows up as an additional sound card. The microphone works well enough in case using a softphone is an option. The battery is not removable, but the headset can be used while charging. I usually charge it if I'm going to be away from the computer or if I'll be sitting next to it for a while. Charging is done through Micro USB, so you could probably use a battery pack with a USB connector. http://gaming.logitech.com/en-us/product/g930-7-1-wireless-gaming-headset Chris On Tue, September 8, 2015 5:35 am, Darragh Ó Héiligh wrote:

Hello,

Not strictly on topic for this list but in a round about way it is very relevant.

I've just broken my lovely Zenhizer head set. I've had this for about three years.

I use this headset for Jaws only.

I've a few sound cards in this machine for various reasons. One is dedicated to Jaws speech.

I'm looking for a new headset. Any recommendations?

I had a wireless headset eight years ago. It lasted me about five years but I got sick of the battery constantly going down. I even bought two batteries for it but if I was working on something for a very long time and the battery went down and I kept working on the second battery, the first battery didn't have time to recharge before the battery in use went down.

It would seem strange to some but sitting on a computer for up to 20 hours isn't an uncommon thing for me some days.

That's the joy of working full time, keeping up with new technology and also keeping my own business going all at the same time.

I would love it if this headset would also let me hear the phone as well. It's a Cisco VOIP phone.

There's nothing as frustrating as trying to talk to someone with the handset pressed up to my ear with my shoulder and jaws talking on the other side. I currently have an incredibly cheap wired headset for the phone but the desk can get a bit crazy with wires all over the place.

I'm of two minds to go with wireless or not. I gave up on it after a lot of years of frustration as I said eight years ago but maybe things have come a long way since then.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Darragh
