Question Headsets

Might be a strange question, but doe's anybody know of any good single ear headsets on the market.
At the moment we use a handheld, which is ok but means you have to have the windows closed on hot days when it gets busier.

The reason we need the single ear type is that out telephones are not linked to the headsets.

Cheers

headset

Well in Canada and here in Switzerland we use the plantronics.. I use the Starset.. not bad.. works well.. might seem a bit uncomfortable at first but it's great once you get used to it.. also if you get that model, look into getting a custom ear piece.. any ear doctor can do it, you can reduce the volume by half and still hear as well..
hope that helps

Re: headset

If you get the plantronics take the time to have a molded ear piece made ($25 US). In the US we use the plantronics head sets and for the most part they are pretty reliable, unless you like to stretch the cord out along the catwalk outside.
