Hi Ed, Below is some information I've had saved for quite awhile & hope that the phone numbers are still good.
This headset allows you to listen to both your computer and the telephone at the same time. Name, Dual Head Sets by Plantronics. Model or part number SMH1783-11. Price $350.00 to $400.00. Name of distributor, Phone supplements Phone, 1-800-742-1800 I've used Plantronics for years. The newer models unplug part way down the cord so you can switch out the end you need. I have an eighth inch plug on 1 side and a phone plug on the other. I believe the model line you are needing is the Supra. Don't let someone talk you into a stereo set, it won't work. Here is the contact info for a company called Headsets Direct. That's where I got my last set from. Keep in mind everyone doesn't understand what we need with a different cord for each ear. I know the best person you will talk to there is Ed, in tech support. Everyone is friendly, and I've never spoken with anyone that didn't speak English clearly... 1-888-244-0483 Toll Free . 928-777-9100 Telephone . www.HeadsetsDirect.com Bob Hello Jim, I agree with others on this list that Plantronics equipment is the way to go. For some reason buying from vendors is cheaper than buying from Plantronics direct. SKC Communication Products Inc. 800 882 7779 SMH1783-11 headset special, price around $240.00I think Also get the optional AC adapter 26503-01 If they ask who told you, Art from Pittsburgh. Good luck. Hope this helps. Take care.

Frequently, I will have telephone conversations with a client while reviewing a document on screen. So, I have the screen reader talking to me through my headset. I also use the microphone on my headset to dictate to my computer using Naturally Speaking. At present, my office phone is inaccessible. So, I propose to use my iPhone. The computer in use has two Jacks: a microphone jack and an audio jack. The iPhone, by contrast, uses a single jack. I am wondering how I can use a single headset with a microphone that will allow me simultaneously to listen to my iPhone and listen to my computer and then, alternatively, talk either to the person at the other end of the line on the telephone or talk to my computer. Surely I am not the only person with this problem. I have tried to explain this situation to Radio Shack Personnel. They are completely stumped. In fact, they have told me such a configuration is impossible. Indeed, my searches on the Internet have proved futile. Just trying to find an adapter to allow a combination microphone/audio jack to interface with separate microphone and audio jacks has proved challenging. Thanks. I.
