    Question Are they any cheap wireless headphones with a mic?

    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?

    Not seen any like that. Will a bluetooth headset work with your PC?

    As far as I know, with a Bluetooth dongle you should be able to communicate with any Bluetooth device and use its advertised capabilities, so long as there are drivers in the OS?

    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).
