Question:
I'm looking for a WIRELESS audio headset in/out for netmeeting or PC system. I've seen no such product available on the internet . There are wireless EarPhone, Wireless Microphone coupled with PC, voip complex and expensive system, bluetooth handfree headset for mobile, and .......everything beyond imagination but no Headset with both functions (ear and record ) working wireless with a base connected to the pc via two 3.5 jack connections on sound card. There no special demanding for use RF or blutooth, or another technology except for infrared that i can't afford. My co-workers and myself, are using netmmeting 5+ hours a day, that frustrating to not find any acceptable solution for the moment. Get bored with these bugged jail cables. Have you ever heard of a product that can satisfy our needs ? Where to find Wireless Headset and Wireless Microphone for netmeeting or PC system?

Answer:
The best solution (and cheapest) is to find an IBM phone model 900. I should have been more specific. There are multiple model 900 IBM phones. It's model number IBM-900FADS (IBM part number 09N0681) and is called a 900Mhz Cordless Headset Speakerphone. It's the one that has an integral transmitter in the headpiece as well as a dial pad built in to one side. What's great about it is there are twin 1/8 miniature audio jacks in the base set that you can connect directly to your sound card with 1/8 audio cables. There is one currently on Ebay you can look at. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3016281441&categor... If you have trouble finding any, post back and I maybe able to help with a local source.
