I am really doing something wrong. Seriously. I can’t get neigther one of headsets to work. Headphones work just fine, both at home and at work. Microphones don’t. At work I can hear myself talking in the headphones, but I can’t record any sound and, obviously, I can’t use the headset in Skype. At home, I don’t even get the sound in the headphones.
I think I’m getting old… Oh, do I sound like my father now?

This is yet another post that mentions Skype. As you probably know by now after reading this and that posts, I am really enjoying Skype.
In order to expand the joy, I decided to follow my brother, and buy headphones with microphone to use voice features of this application.
You might think that I am one of those “whatever my brother gets, I’ll get two” types, but I am not. I really have two very separate computers - my home workstation and my office workstation - that I need to equip with whatever software and hardware I use. So, I bought two headsets. Those are A4Tech HS-7 if you are interested.
8 CYP a piece. Fit my head nicely. Micrphone is attached via a wire that you can bend any way you like. There is also volume control and microphone on/off switch right on the wire. Comfy.
I haven’t tested the sound yet.
