| Considering getting some cheapo wireless headphones, probably RF rather than IR given some comments I have read, but I was interested to know if there are any "entry level" sets with built-in mics? I appreciate it's a completely different kettle of fish as you're looking at a transmitter on the headset, but are there any comfortable, relatively cheap headsets available? The only ones I seem able to find are by Emkay and aimed at the call centre market, at a couple of hundred dollars each (possibly only available in bulk too I guess?). Bluetooth headsets might be the way to go, with a dongle, but are there only in-ear and round-ear solutions, no comfy headsets? ~ I have CDO.

Only used built-in Bluetooth in my laptop to talk to my old phone for transferring files, never had a headset to try - but all the ones I have seen are the single-ear jobbies anyway, and I heard the battery life sucks big time on them. My ideal would be something similar to my wireless mouse setup - little transceiver connects to the USB port and the mouse itself just uses a single AA battery which gets replaced every so often (1-3 months depending on how heavy the use is). ~ I have CDO.
