Hello all, I've had 2 headsets in the last 15 years, and both of them came with my Dragon NaturallySpeaking software, I think you can get them from Dragon for about $25 but I'm not sure on that. I use a telescoping rod that attaches to a shelf on my desk, I've had it so long I'm not sure where I got it. I hang the headset on the end of the rod, and position it so I can drive up next to it when using the computer. I too, do not use the speaker part of the headset and everything goes through my computer speakers. When I purchased my last computer, I also purchased a cheap microphone ($7 at the time) from Amazon (link is below). I tried it on the new computer and it seemed to work fine, but I chose to use my old headset because it just works for me. Although, with my situation I'm lucky enough to be in my own home. Randy
