Coincidentally enough, I just saw Able Planet EXTREME Foldable Noise
Canceling Headphones with Free Microphone on sellout.woot.com for $40. I
just bought this combination a few weeks ago, and I'm quite pleased.
You can use the headphones by themselves by just plugging them into your
3.5mm audio output jack.
You also get a microphone that you plug into the 3.5mm jack on your
headphones. A cable runs from the microphone, and has a 3.5mm UHJ
connector that you can plug directly into your iPhone. It also comes
with a 2.5mm UHJ adapter, which I use when I use it with my cordless
phone or my E71X cell phone. Finally, it comes with a splitter so you
can plug it into a pair of 3.5mm speaker/microphone jacks.
The microphone plugs into the base of the left ear cup, and has a boom
that rotates in two directions. The cable has a mute button, a volume
control and the button that lets you answer incoming phone calls.
I bought a pair of Able Electronics headphones a while ago. I use the
microphone with both the foldable headphones that come with this deal as
well as the non-foldable pair I bought months ago. The headphones are
quite comfortable and the noise cancelling and noise isolation is quite
good.

Hello fellow pc-audio listers:
Being that I don't speak technical jargon, this is a bit hard for me to
explain. So, I'll do the best I can, and hopefully, you'll understand
what I'm talking about.
I'm looking for a headset microphone combo, to which I can use both on
the computer and on my boombox and/or stereo. On the front of my
computer's tower, there are two small plugs that are side by side. I
believe one is called line-in, and the other is called line-out, or
something to that effect. Anyway, when you feel them, they feel like
headphone jacks. Most stereo headphones, such as the ones found on
portable cd players have a 3.5 centermeter adapter on the end, that
plugs perfectly into the type of headphone jacks I've mentioned above.
So, here's my question. Can any of you recommend a good stereo headset
microphone, that's universal? meaning I can plug it into the computer
using the 3.5 centermeter adapters, when doing things on the computer,
and also be able to plug it into other devices as well if necessary. Is
there any particular brand of headsets that work better than others? I
know its a bit open ended, but I hope my question makes some kind of
sense. Thanks in advance for your help.
