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.
Cheers

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.

Subject: [access-uk] Headset replacement
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
