[TriLUG] Noise cancelling headset

[Roger W. Broseus via TriLUG]

Mauricio,

To what purpose? I use a very simple headset that plugs into my telephone for 
hands free calls. It can be adapted to plugging into a PC port.

  * Panasonic KX-TCA430 Comfort-Fit, Foldable Headset

  * Seadream 2Pack 6 inch 3-Pole 3.5mm Male to 2.5mm Female Headset Audio
    Adapter Cable Extender Stereo Jack

I see Tao Tronics headsets on sale from time to time at Amazon for <$50. I use 
them to listen to TV via a bluetooth device. In this case, cheap means there 
is a few milliseconds of latency but that's manageable. The headset has a 
built in mic, noise cancellation, and can connect via cable to a sound source.
