I would like to start flying online and would like to know what your views are on a good set of earphones with microphone...or just a microphone as I already have a pair of earphones.Thanks-Mikkel

a lot of people seem to like plantronics

I use the Plantronics DSP 500 and really like them. It has a built in mike which you can fold out of the way when not in use. I consider this a necessity as a seperate mike can be really awkward and in the way. The DSP 500 is USB and the software was a bit guerky to set up, but maybe they've fixed that. Also, you need to have HID enabled in WinXP services or the volume control on the headset won't work.David
