Re: wireless headset recommendations
I have a wireless USB microphone headset. The Plantronics audio 995 stereo headset with boom microphone. I don't know what wireless technology it uses, but it is 2.4 GHz. and not BlueTooth. The difference between Bluetooth wireless and USB wireless Bluetooth pairs to any compatible device that has Bluetoothin it. USB wireless can be two things USB data general standard for transmitting and receiving data wirelessly. Or, wireless audio that uses a USB dongle, which acts as a sound card, with wireless transmitter and receiver.

Very interesting. The last pair of wireless headphones I tried used FM as its type and relied on a transmitter that plugged into the mains. So glad I upgraded to bluetooth as no configuration is really necessary apart from the usual bluetooth setup.
