I recently purchased at Radio Shack a lightweight boom headset that
was I think primarily designed for the computer user.  It terminus
with a 1/8" mono for the mike and a 1/8" stereo for the headset.  The
mods I made to it were to cut off the headset jack and put on a 1/4"
mono plug as I hate adapters and my rigs are all mono (no dual watch
at AA3JU) And too I wire wrapped the cables to the top of the headset
as originally they werecomming down in a Y undernieth my chin (I hate
that)

OK they are marked Optimus 70 and I found them in the computer section
selling for $39 they seem to work very well with no complaints on the
recieve side.  I don't think they are quite as well made as the heil
being all plastic but are still only 1/2 the price.
