General Discussion / Headsets...?

The PTT is separate, and the most expensive part of the whole setup. The downside with Plantronics gear is that you will need to buy some sort of USB adapter. You have two options: the SHS2355 (PTT), or the DA40 (non-PTT). The DA40 is running around $35-50 (probably cheaper on eBay), and the PTT is going for $104 right now on eBay (and its the only one!) and around $150 on headset sites. If you really want to get fancy, there is a wireless version of the PTT that runs for about $350. Just look around for deals.

Wow, think I'll just stick with the headphones for a while- I love the idea of the Plantronics set-up but not quite ready to fork over that kind of money! Thanks a lot for the information though.

I use the Plantronics H31 Starset along with a PTT. Very comfortable.

That sounds like the way to go for me, I've got a Turtle Beach headset which works just fine but a little rough on the ears after a few minutes. Do you have to buy the PTT separately? If so, any recommendations on that? Also, does it plug directly into the microphone and headphone ports in the computer or do you need some sort of adapter?

Hey all, I believe its time to upgrade my headset from the $20 radio shack version to something a little higher quality and a little more comfortable to wear for longer controlling sessions. What are you other controllers/pilots using and how would you rate them?
