Hi! I wouldn't recommend Logitech because I've dissapointed with their microphone cpl day ago. My gf used to have some Chinese mic which costed about $1.5 but she screwed up the cable so it started to cut off the signal. She bought $15 Logitech and we tested both mics and the ten times cheaper Chinese one had the better sound than Logitech. One friend of mine have one nice metal headset with life time warranty, long nitted cable and volume control on it but I have to ask him for the model and manufacturer. It costed about $25 in my country. I'll let you know as soon as I find out the info. ----- Original Message ----- From: "alex wallis" <[email protected]> To: "screen access software with skype" <skypeenglish at emissives.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 31, 2009 2:39 PM Subject: [Skypeenglish] headset recommendation
