Question about Headphones

[Riesner, Giles W.]

We're just back from Spring Break and I'm  catching up with what happened while we were gone.

Dawna Turcotte asked:

I wasn't sure which listserv to go to for this question, but it is IT related.
      We are currently exploring the purchase of microphones for our computers. We are looking at the Califone 610 Binaural Headphones or the Hamilton Mono/Stereo personal headphones. Can you recommend 1 or the other? I can't find any reviews of these items.

We currently have very basic headphones without microphones attached to all of our PCs and Media equipment (VCR/DVD),
bought for us by the IT department. These are Hamilton's SchoolMate HA2 which go for about $6 each; it appears they also
have a version the HA2M with microphone that goes for about $15.  We've had the HA2's about 2-1/2 years and are soon going
to be replacing many of them.

We also have a couple of Headphones with Microphones that I believe came to us from the Foreign Language department.
They are Califone 3066-USB headsets, which get only occasional use. They seem to run abiout $45 in general though it looks
Like you might be able to get some deals on them cheaper (I saw one place where a 10 pack was 369.90).

Hope this helps.
