Wireless headsets for use with FS?

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

Yes, there are hundreds of them. You simply plug the base unit into the
sound card and they work fine.

For example:

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)

Thanks Günter, that's just what I'm looking for; what sort of range do you
get on the device? I'm guessing it's only a few meters.

Will these work for any machine? Or do you have to have some special hard or
software?

The bundle should work for any Pc with USB-port... And a Windows-version
that supports USB.. )
At least Win98 2nd Edition, WinME, Windows2000 or XP..
Not WinNT4 or previous Win9x-versions...

Drivers should be included with the devices...

If you already has a Bluetooth-enabled Pc (external device or built-in) then
you of course don't need the Bluetooth Dongle.
