Telephone headsets are great if you have to type while you're on the phone. And computer headsets are a must if you want to use voice-recognition software with your desktop machine. And stereo headsets are great for listening to CDs ... having three headsets on your desk is a recipe for tangled cords.
VXI has two answers, both of which solve two-thirds of the headset problem. Combine the Parrot 3 headset with the company's Parrot Switch telephone amplifier, and you've got a headset that can work with either your telephone or your computer. I use mine every day.
VXI also makes the Parrot 2 stereo headset, which works equally well for voice dictation and listening to a CD through your computer. Unfortunately, the Parrot 2 doesn't work with the Parrot Switch - that's why each headset solves only part of the problem. But if you have a computer that can do telephony, you solve all three problems.
Parrot 3 headset: US$76; Parrot Switch telephone amplifier: $116. VXI Corp.: (800) 742 8588.
