I use the H2 and love it!

I doubt it as it is not the way USB works.

Hi Tricia,

Ruth has supplied us with some great information. But, since you're curious, I have a Cyber Acoustics headset which I got at Futureshop about two years ago.

http://www.cyberacoustics.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=Home.CategoryDetail&content_id=268 (it's one of those... not sure... I may be at work right now...)

Anyway, if you're looking to find something locally, I'd suggest The Source (used to be called Radio Shack). I had a really great "gaming" headset which was very comfortable and reasonably priced. But, my kitten chewed through the cord!

I'd definitely consider you an Ontarionian, even if you're an "import"! I see that you are in Toronto! I am planning on moving there next year (September 2010) to attend UofT for my masters degree!

We have a few LibriVoxateers just north of Lake Ontario (myself included). It would be neat to get together.

That would be neat. But, a long ride for me (I'm in Ottawa for now)!

Saw those - but the headsets on that page are all discontinued except for one, which was why I asked.

Thanks for the info, Crystal!

Crystal,

You're not the only one reading from Ottawa...I hope to start reading asap.

Cheers and good luck

Hi Brass!

Wow, small world! I haven't started reading, I am just figuring out the best way to set up my equipment. I should have more time for that on the weekend.

So, how did that bus strike treat you?
