looking for a headset that is both PC and Phone compatable

Post by velvta »

I'm looking for a headset that I can use on both my phone and/or my PC. I'm guessing any non USB headset will work on the PC just by plugging it into the soundcard?

Can anyone recommend a good one??

What type of phone? (Home Phone, Cell Phone, etc)
If its a cell phone which supports bluetooth you will need to buy a bluetooth headset and a USB bluetooth adapter for your computer.

If your talking about a standard PC headset, you may be able to find an adapter at RadioShack to convert the standard size down to the mini for your phone.

I don't think you will find one. Cordless phones have one jack for mic and speaker. Sound card has separate jacks for mic and speaker.
