I bought a plantronics sometime in november. After a few months, the right ear became weak and eventually went out (just in time for the return policy to finish and me to lose my 40 bucks!). I looked for another brand but they were rare, and those I could find either had horrible sound quality, were freakishly uncomfortable or both. So I ended up buying another plantronics of the same model, hoping it was only a fluke. After two or three hours, the right ear became weak, and after two days, it stopped functionning completely.

Futureshop holds -only- plantronics and so does radioshack. Any ideas?

It has to be a headset, not just headphones.

Hmmm... My Plantronics headset has been going strong for well over a year now. I got it at Radio Shack :p

I used to have a good Labtec headset, but the newer ones look really crappy compared to the old model. Try looking around Bureau en Gros.

They only have one-ear sets :/

No they don't.

They don't have the same stock in every store though. I'd rather not have to order one.

There's a Bureau en Gros in St-Dorothé, in the Carrefour and in the Centre Laval on Le Corbusier. They've got to be in one of them! :p

You're not easy to please, are you?

Nope :p

:p

Take the article number and call some of the stores around you. Ask them it they have the headset you want.

Here's the phone numbers.

Great. Now call them for me!


err I mean.. thanks :p

Your welcome.

And Futureshop doesn't just carry Plantronics. That Logitech headset I linked up above is available at the FS in Laval. And 5 bucks cheaper too.

I don't understand! These websites are in Francish!

Can anyone suggest a good, comfortable pair of CORDLESS headphones? The ones I've tried just don't work well, they substitute the cords with static sound.

Is there a way I can turn an existing pair of headphones into a headset?

Example.

I have a headset for the phone.

Problem is, I'm hard of hearing, so it's a great headset and all.... I just can't hear on it.

Do they sell, or is there some way to make an adapter that ads a microphone to a set of headphones?

Anything wireless, and you're going to have to take interference into account. If you live near powerlines, radio towers, or have alot of wireless stuff in your house...then it might not be the best option for you. I'm sure there's good brands out there that are decently shielded, but you may not be able to find a "perfect" pair :-/

You could by a small mic and tape it to your face

There are practical reasons for which I need them cordless. Cords are out of the question.

Take a stick mic, break it off it's base, ductape it to your headphones, then plug the cord seperately.

Well, I was thinking of something more for the phone.

Which only has one output thinger.
