So now that I can sit on the phone in a internet conference call, for free, with my PHP developer, SQL optimiser and CSS guy at the same time that we're all working on a collaborative project, what's the headset that we need to most comfortably do the job?
What are you all using (with your bluetooth mobile if not for this particular task)?

It also has volume control and one button answering as well as voice activation calling through your phone's voice-dialing feature. Pretty nice. The model I have is almost two years old now but I see the 700 series is getting rave reviews.
I'm finding that there are a couple of other features available that are pretty nifty. Instead of earloop design, some models now have earbuds available. Personal preference here, but I like earbuds better than earloops.
Another neat feature is a desktop docking station for recharging the phone. Some models also come with an optional USB recharger. I'm assuming the USB recharger is going to allow you to continue using the headset while at your desktop recharging -- that would be handy for those lengthy "on-the-phone" days. I guess at this point you lose your mobility anyway so that might not make as much sense. Why the USB option then? I suppose in case you are on the road and don't want to carry the desktop docking station with you. That would make more sense.
I hear good things about the Jabra (sp?) too, but would prefer to speak (here) to someone that actually owns one.
Got me sucked into the subject and now doing some researching today as well
Hehe - actually, I think headsets could become quite important for the "kind" of work that webmasters do.
I mean, a headset leaves both hands free for the keyboard/mouse, and with voice becoming a free "commodity" to anyone with broadband thanks to networks like Skype, there's no reason not to sit on the "phone" all day.
