Just curious is it effective, if so I might buy one I have seen at about £4 ( mind you I may be backing a loser at this price)

Never had a problem with it although people I've called with Skype on landlines have said I sound like I'm down a well sometimes. I don't think that's the headset's fault though.
I doubt that an expensive headset will make the actual call quality any better.

Thanks for your reply

Another question if you come back to this post

If you want to connect to a friends landline telephone. you ring a number.

How do you connect to a friends computer using Skype
