Voip Headsets
There are generally 3 typs of Voip headsets you can get, which are:
- Analog Voip headsets
- USB Voip Headsets
- Wireless / BlueTooth Voip headsets
Analog VoIP Headsets Analog VoIP headsets are any regular headset that connects directly to the sound card input of your PC or notebook. These are usually much cheaper, but of of course there are the irritating wires and they also usually last a shorter time.
A good entry-level analog VoIP headset is the one offered by Logitech, the Logitech 980158-0403 Internet Chat Headset
USB VoIP Headsets USB VoIP headsets connect directly to any USB port on your PC or laptop. The advanteg of using USB Voip headsets is the faster data transfer rate, meaning you can get better quality sounds.

If you’re travelling overseas a lot, you may want to consider the i2 Telecom VoiceStick which is a portable USB phone with headsets.
It looks just like any other ‘thumb drive’ or ‘USB disk’ but it also has a built-in Voip service that you can use to connect with any other i2 Telecom user. Of course, this means you’ll have to pay 12 Telecom about $4 a month for their VoIP service as well and you can’t use it with Skype, Google Talk or other services.
Wireless Headsets
Wireless or Bluetooth headsets are definately going to cost you more, but if you’re a heavy Skype, Google Talk or other PC based Internet telephony user it just might be worth it to go wireless.
Wireless headsets give you the freedom to move around your office or home so you’re not just sitting in front of the PC all the time. Perhaps the coolest looking wireless VoIP headset is the Plantronics CS50 Wireless Convertible Headset
The Plantronics CS50 Wireless Office Headset System brings the ultimate in mobility and sound quality for hands-free conversations to your phone. Totally wireless, the CS50 gives you up to eight hours talk time and the wireless convenience to roam up to 300 feet while having secure conversations.
