![]() We are successfully using ADSL to talk over the Internet. Does anyone know of an economical way to go wireless so that the speaker and mike can be remote from the PC - in the form of a headset and attached mike. Thanks. -- Les Desser |

I know a mate is using the same thing, But he has a standard Bluetooth headset and mike, with a usb bluetooth adaptor. That would do me fine. I cannot find a set that combines both headset and mike, so a hint from your mate would be most welcome. -- Les Desser |

AFAIK all the bluetooth headsets have a microphone as well - they are after all mainly designed as handsfree headsets for mobile phones. However these tend to be mono, hanging off one of your ears. Can't help with a stereo BT headset with mic. HTH Dave R |

Don't know about Bluetooth, but there are plenty of wireless headphones available (you say 'earphones', so perhaps you want something small, though). My experience is that even moving one's head can cut out reception or reduce it dramatically. -- Send e-mail to the Reply-To address; mail to the From address is never read |

No - to connect to the speaker output and mike input of a PC. -- Les Desser |

There are others but this is free, works, and only needs 1 port to be forwarded on an ADSL NAT router. I'm using a Plantronics headset and mike combination (I think it was about £30) but you can use the speakers and a separate mike - though then you have to be careful of feedback.

I am happy to sit at my PC to speak, but the other party wants to be able to walk about and move into an other room. -- Les Desser |

Google for PicoPhone. There are others but this is free, works, and only needs 1 port to be forwarded on an ADSL NAT router. Got Picophone - thanks. Looks good. Only recently started using a router - so don't know about port forwarding yet. Is it straightforward? (Netgear DG 814) I'm using a Plantronics headset and mike combination (I think it was about £30) but you can use the speakers and a separate mike - though then you have to be careful of feedback. I'll look for that. I suppose both parties need to be on ADSL? -- Chris |
