[CQ-Contest] Cordless headsets?

[Kenneth E. Harker]

     Actually, the original post was inquiring about the possible availability 
of a cordless headset (headphones plus boom microphone.)  

     The closest fit to ham radio might be this Plantronics headset: 
http://www.plantronics.com/north_america/en_US/productName/CS50FREESHIP
It is designed to be plugged into a telephone, but someone creative 
might be able to hack it into regular headphone and mic connectors.
It is digital audio, but it doesn't look like the best set of headphones...
