- Years ago, I was searching for one myself. After trying on several
- dozen types, from Radio Shack (like having my head in a clothespin;
- hurt after just a few seconds) to Plantronics (heavy, similar to large
- stereo headphones which cover the entire ear and shut out all outside
- noise, sweaty and generally uncomfortable ... at least the ones I could
- find up to $300), I happened to walk into a Heathkit store and found
- something not in the catalog. This little gem by Nady Systems
- (unfortunately, address and other info unknown) had a headset similar to
- foam-pad walkman-type headphones, VERY comfortable, small control box
- inserts between handpiece and phoneset and is switchable to use either
- handset or headset. Best of all, it was just under $40.
-
- I've seen a cordless headset (with DTMF pad) in one of the
- DAK/Damark type catalogs at around $200; they're out there.
-
- If anyone knows where I could get another Nady Systems headset, I'd
- enjoy knowing, since this one is years old and may not last too many
- more decades ...
