I checked on the internet, and was pointed to the Sam Ash link. The link said "free shipping, but when I got to the Sam Ash website, it wanted to charge about 10 bucks shipping, which put their price about the same as what Amazon sells it for.
I have another suggestion some might want to try. My biggest concern with most of these headsets is finding one that has really good earphones--they vary a lot. If you find one you really like, and don't think the microphone is good enough, you might try just replacing the cartridge with one from Radio Shack. I've made several electret microphones, all of which got very good reports as to audio, using the Radio Shack cartridge. There was unanimous agreement that they sounded better than the Heil Pro Set I have. You could even modify a regular set of headphones you have, just attaching a boom mike to it. I don't think it would be very hard to do. I have a couple of pairs of inexpensive (but comfortable) Labtec headphones I really like, and I've been contemplating converting them to a combo headset. The headphones were only about $10, and a Radio Shack electret cartridge is only about $3. At least it would be an interesting project. Dave W7AQK ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary W.
