Wireless headsets for use with FS?

Archived from groups: alt.games.microsoft.flight-sim (More info?)

Does anyone know of a wireless headset that would work with a PC for flying
or controlling online? I was wondering if one of these "Bluetooth" mobile
phone headsets could be set up to work like this.

The reason I'm asking is because on long flights (or if I'm staring at a
blank screen when controlling), I don't stay sat at the PC, but tend to do
other odds and ends around the home. A wireless headset would mean I get
alerted to anyone calling me....

It may well be a non-starter, but I figured that if it is possible, someone
here is probably doing it already!

Thanks,

Tim

Thanks, but I should have been clearer - I knew about them and meant one
that has a mic too. That said, I suppose I could do it that way and have a
separate mic........food for thought.

Thanks again,

Tim

Exactly for this purpose I use
ANYCOM Bluetooth USB-120 (dongle) and Bluetooth HS-790 (headset).
Found the bundle for 70 Euro (Germany)
