I need to buy a headset tomorrow to use with Skype. I am looking for something that works well and costs say under $40. Any recommendations?

I've used various ones, several of them cheap ($15 or so) and they've always worked well. Apart from making sure you buy one with a microphone at your mouth (rather than relying on the pc speakers, which can cause echoes) I don't think you can go too wrong.

So basically headsets for dummies... that's right up my alley... thank you so much for responding Kitt.

I don't remember how much I spent on it, but I walked over to Radio Shack and bought a headset with a swivel boom mike. And I'm sure it was less than $40. It also has an extra long cord, which allows me to pace when I'm on conference calls. :-)

Well I got one for $19.95 at Staples today and I will test drive it tomo. I wish I had thought about the cord because I now remember often getting tangled up when I use earphones on the computer. Oh well we shall see how it works out. I have a wireless network for my computer but I am too dumb and scared to mess with it. If it turns out I am using the headset a lot I will likely get a friend to set me up wireless.

Thanks again Kitt and Costacat for weighing in.
