Hi Rod, I have bought several headsets and the like from a specialty business at http://emicrophone.com Which sells nothing but headsets and microphones. It's a small business, and the owner participated in a mailing list I was on. I wrote to him after I was over-whelmed with choice, and explained to him I couldn't see and so couldn't easily navigate all the choices on the site. I asked him to recommend something to me (giving him an explanation of what I needed), and he did. My purchases were always fine.
FYI, a couple of years ago I was on a speech recognition mailing list. It was commonly accepted, and recommended by MS, that you don't attempt speech recognition over any wireless mikes; they all reduced the speech quality too much, and it impacted the recognition. Just mentioning this in case you don't care to have your Skype call quality go down any. There are high-quality wireless headsets, but they're quite expensive (and one I looked at required you to wear a belt unit which held the transmitter and battery). I'm not a fan of wireless headsets: they can interfere with your wifi; they aren't as reliable; if they're Bluetooth that is its own pain at times, and then they need to be kept charged. I've tried them at work, and I prefer a long cord.

However, since I already have wireless headphones, all I really need is a wireless microphone. Can anyone recommend one in the price range of headphones with a built-in microphone? Thanks, Rod
