PLANTRONICS .Audio 480 3.5mm/ USB Connector Canal Stereo Headset

Here's a little stereo headset that is all about versatility. The plugs fit in your ears without the need to adjust a frame, and the microphone position is easily adjustable as well. Then there's the connection, which can be either a regular 3.5mm plug, or a USB plug.

The ear canal speakers have great sound isolation, keeping ambient noise from disturbing you, and the noise-canceling microphone does the same for anyone you might be talking to. Made by Plantronics, who manufactured Neil Armstrong's headset when he walked on the moon, so you know they have plenty of experience. Its four foot cord makes it comfortable to use whether connected to your desktop or your laptop. Whether you're using Skype, Windows Live or Yahoo! Messenger, you can be sure you're getting through.

So look around, check the price, remember the quality, and make up your own mind. But if you need a compact, comfortable headset that is easily portable, this just might be the one you're looking for.
