He was planning on some kind of cable with the iPhone headset style 3.5mm
connection on one side, a regular 3.5mm connector like computers use on the
other, and the other end of the cable would plug in to any iPhone compatible
headset mic. It's looking about half the price of the nearest solution I
found elsewhere, which was the Plantronics SMH-1783-11, which is more for
corded phones to go between the handset and phone. I don't think the phone
handset connector can be adapted for iPhones though.

Subject: Re: dual source headsets, where to get?
what I do when the need arises is to use a single earpiece headset
(headphone plus a built in mic) connected to the phone and one earbud
plugged into the computer. now I'd be interested in the adaptor the
engineer comes up with, as I'd like to have a more elegant headpiece in
attempt to eliminate all the wires.

I am wondering how you go about getting a dual source headset to be able
to hear JFW on one side and have a phone call on the other side. Even
better, it would be nice if the microphone sent its output back to the
phone. I tried getting quotes on a sight called Thumbtack, and I spoke
with a guy who answered who does audio engineering on the side. He thinks
he could make a cable where I could plug any headset mic in to do this,
as long as it had the combination jack that combines the headset and mic
on it. If one was going to use a phone that has the same kind of jack as
the iPhone, which uses the 4-band, 3.5mm connector, does such a product
exist? The closes thing I found years ago was a discontinued Plantronics
headset, but it only had the RJ headset plug for the phone side, which
may or may not be able to be adapted. Also, I'd like something less
expensive than that. I spoke with Plantronics the other day, and it
appeared that what they may have had has been discontinued so long
ago that it isn't in their system any more. The guy told me that the only
dual source headsets like that have to be manually switched between phone
call and other source, which doesn't work if you switch to read something
and the person on the other end says something you missed. What are people
doing to achieve this these days?
