Somewhat related question for teh haxxorz out there:
I recently purchased a USB-based logitec headset (
Logitec USB 350 to be precise). I don't tend to use vent so getting really comfortable with its setup has never been a big deal for me. Well now I'm using the hawt VOIP from google and I'm trying to make it as hassle-free as possible. There are a couple of issues with this:
A) The salesman told me that I could set it up to where sound output switched to the speakers without unplugging the device. There is no reference to this in the "manual" and I've seen nothing in my audio features to indicate how to do it.
B) It's annoying to have to take off and put on the headset every time I leave my seat. It seems above the clip/volume control the change in cord thickness would indicate that the wires are now down to regular speaker wires, and if one were so inclined one could install a detatching point, and being above the clip as it would be, the device would never be detected as removed, thus being fairly hassle-free. You'd probably want a clip on this item as your volume button would ideally be hanging free just past the disconnect point, to make afk trips as hassle-free as possible. Has anyone experimented with this?
C) Wireless would be awesome but there seems to be a shortage of not-ridiculously-expensive wireless headsets out there. Has anyone rigged one up? Would be difficult I reckon as you still have to power your speakers but I wouldn't be surprised at all if someone who had a little familiarity with electronics had done it for a lot less than the nearly $200 I'm seeing wireless headsets going for, and those are on bluetooth which I've heard has had some security issues.
