Here's where I purchased my dual Plantronics headset, and the actual model number. Teresa knows all about this special model.

I found a guy on Thumbtack that claims to be able to whip up a cable that would let me use any headset mic with those combination jacks Apple and other phones like to use now. I'm surprised even Plantronics didn't know there was such a thing, claiming the stuff they knew of was like an a/b switch. I remember one time when I did some transcription during school where I tried two headphones, and one busted right in half. What I tried to do was using two pairs of earphones, with the one behind's left earpiece pushed out of the way to get the front one to sit there. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Carlson via Jfw" <[email protected]> To: "The Jaws for Windows support list." <[email protected]> Cc: "Dave Carlson" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, August 16, 2015 11:38 PM Subject: Re: dual source headsets, where to get? > Plantronics does this.
