Hi Dave
No, they aren't wireless, but the muffs are very comfortable. I'd prefer the
headband to go round the back of my neck rather than over my hair, but that's
my only whine!! (smile).

Hi Jackie,
Thanks for the info on the splitter box, I'll do some investigating and get the
balaclava out lol.
Are your Plantronics headset wireless? I ask, as when I looked at there
website, the first thing that jumped out at me was wireless headsets. A good
idea, and very convenient, but totally useless and frustrating, if they don't
work properly.
Anyone have experience of Plantronics, wireless headsets? and are the muffs
comfortable?
Jackie, stop laughing!
Cheers
Regards

Hi Dave
The box is from Hagger, known as a splitter box C, and I don't think a third
item can be plugged in, though I wouldn't swear to that. The headset is a
Plantronics which goes into the splitter box. I believe the box costs £185.
Raid your piggy bank my boy!!

Hi Jackie,
I would indeed like to know the make and model, plus where to purchase if
possible please.
If it is possible to plug in a third item, then so much the better.

Hi Dave
My box of tricks is quite nice, and I believe it came from Hagger UK.
It comprises a box with one switch on the top. I can listen to JAWS in one ear
and the telephone call in the other, or have JAWS or the telephone call in both
ears. The box has individual volume controls on the front. I don't know if I
could plug in a third item, I've never tried. The headset though has a
microphone on it, and the over-the-head band and muffs are very comfortable to
wear.
I would need to ask someone what the make and model of these items are if you
are interested further.

Hi All,
Well my old VXI Talkpro Express, has finally given up the ghost, and gone to a
land fill site no doubt.
So time to choose another.
What to replace them with, question.
Well, what I would really like is a set of headphones, with which I can switch
between PC and telephone, plus PC and Daisy player., am I asking too much?
It would be nice to have a simple box, with which to switch between these two
settings.
I currently have a pair of Bose noise reduction headphones, which are very
comfortable, but are lacking an attached microphone.
If these had a microphone, all I would need is a box of tricks that with a
flick of a switch, allows me to hear the PC/JAWS, in one ear, and either the
telephone or daisy player in the other, and the microphone to work with both as
I have Dragon Naturally Speaking/J-Say, and a Plextalk
PTR2 daisy player, which I can record on.
Anyone know of such a setup, commercially available?
If not, I would also like to hear any recommendations, as to the best headsets
currently available.
Cheers
Dave Ankers
