And I thought this would be simple.
I want to buy a headset for my Powerbook G4 to use mostly for language programs. I am finding many different kinds with many different prices and little explanation of what makes one better than another.
What is the experience of people here as to specifications, features, and brands to look for?
TIA Peter
I can't comment on models of headsets, but I want to point out that the sound input port is "line level", which means that most mics don't "just work". I have heard time and again people saying "the headphones work, but not the mic". For me, the solution has been to connect (basically, *any*) headset to this nice little gadget called iMic (from Griffin). It connects to a usb port and gives both sound in and out. It has a little switch that allows the sound in port in it to be either line level or mic level. Works like a charm, no drivers needed in Mac OS X, and even works in one the usb ports in the keyboard (that is in my B&W). Just select the iMic in the input and output panes of the Sound system preferences and there you go.
