Best Headset?

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)

I'm looking for a really good quality headset for my VX 4400 with the
following priority:

I need to sound clear when I am speaking to someone. I am more
concerned about the quality of my voice transmission than I am about how
well I hear them.

Suggestions?

TIA

Louise

Louise: I have a Radio Shack HS-1958 that I'm happy with. It's got a
traditional outside-the-ear earpiece like regular headphones, and a boom
microphone with a sponge thing over it. It doesn't look as cool as some
headsets, but only morons are concerned with cool vs quality. I tested its
sound quality by calling a friend who's as picky as I am, and he gave it
high marks. I use it on my boat quite a bit, and people tell me it does a
good job of dealing with wind noise. It has volume and muting controls on
the cord, and a plug inline on the cord so you can disconnect the headset
and switch to normal phone use without dropping the call.

I may be switching from Sprint to Verizon soon, so I'm shopping for phones.
I don't see that Verizon offers your phone model any more. Any idea which
model replaced it? Sounds like you're happy with the one you have.

You've never heard of Shure? They're one of the oldest sound equipment
makers on the planet. Plug "shure qsh-3" into a google search. Plenty of
sources.

I know Shure makes good quality stuff and am also interested in getting a
good headset but I am also confused. There seems to be the QSH-3 which is
noted as "compatible" with everyhing ever made from Startacs to Blackberries
except Nokia which needs the QSH-4. The website describes all of the audio
features but doesn't seem to cover what "compatible" means. For example I
usually use a vx-4500, can the headset be used to answer/end calls and use
whatever other features are available via the headset?

I don't think that the Shure headset(s) have any extra 'buttons' for doing
that. Their main claim to fame is their sound quality, and it seems to hold
that with this, their first entry into the phone headset arena. There are no
volume controls on the headset (hey, there's one on the phone so why would
you need one on the headset? I detest headsets that have such volume
controls, along with headsets that have mic. volume controls).

Sooo, if you want the utmost in sound quality (both receiving and sending)
then the Shure may be for you.

If you want or feel that you need volume controls and/or answer/end buttons,
then it might not be. Possibly they will add those features in a future
model or models if there is enough demand for it.

Personally, I prefer using my Motorola HS810 bluetooth headset with my V710
phone. Once you've experienced the freedom of bluetooth headsets, you won't
want to go back to wired headsets!
