Headset Cordless Phones? 39

PeteCool asks: "Lately my phone calls, mostly the technical ones, are getting longer and longer. The usual phone set isn't acceptable, and the 'shoulder trick' to hold the phone when using the keyboard isn't enough anymore. I've been looking in stores in the area for all-in-the-headset handless cordless phones - the ones with a little box wired to the headset that holds on your belt don't look comfortable at all - but I haven't found anything really great. I've found this all-in-one model from GN Netcom, but it's way too expensive for me. I'm certainly not the first one looking for that kind of phone. What have you guys found, what do you use, what do you recommend?"

    When you talk on a regular phone, you have to flip ears every so often, right? Well the same is true when you wear one of these after a while. Get one with two ears and you'll never have to do that... and it's a very cool effect. It sounds like they are right there with you!

    I haven't found anyone making one of these yet but what i'd like to see is a set of headphones that are usable both as a hands free set for a phone and for listening to music from my computer. It seems like an obvious device but so far I have not been able to find such an animal.

    Alternatively a simple box that plugs into your handset jack on your phone and then lets you plug in a set of head phones, a mic (or combo of both) and line out from you pc, would do the trick. I could have a simple selector button on top to choose between phone and audio.
