Hi all, First time here and already I'm asking for help. I'm beginning to use my computer more and more for listening to music, mp3s and CDs. I have it rigged pretty "soundly" for music with a Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum PCI soundcard, set of Klipsch THX ProMedia 4.1s and a pair of Advent Powered Partners. They don't touch the quality of my DCM Towers but since I sit so close to them I can crank them up without interferring with the neighbor's right to a pleasant and peaceful domain. But I am running out of room on this desk. I plug in the Sennheiser HD 545 References when it starts hitting the wee hours of the morning to keep in good stead with the neighbors. But I'm also an avid online gamer, especially Flight Simming where chatting with the use of the keyboard is impractical. I also just purchased a Creative Modem Blaster Di5631 that I have TAD connected to my soundcard which has Internet call forwarding and answering machine features. I've searched the Internet for countless hours trying to find a high quality wireless stereo headset ( Headphone & Microphone combo ) that I can plug into my soundcard. I understand that using wireless is going to reduce the quality of the sound but for the convenience I think I can live with it. Years ago I had a pair of Recoton and a pair of RCA wireless headphones and the sound quality really sucked. But it was still enjoyable and convenient to go out into the backyard and enjoy my tunes in the company of the resident wildlife and at night to do a little stargazing with musical accompaniment without disturbing my neighbors. I'm assuming that the wireless technology has come a long way since those years when I used the Recotons and RCAs and I'm willing to invest a few hundred bux into a "new and improved" pair now. But the stumbling block is the lack of a microphone ( headset ). I want to be able to vocally chat online when sitting in front of the computer monitor, answer my telephone and listen to music in and out of doors without being encumbered by a cord. So my question is, has anyone heard of such a piece of equipment? A high quality wireless headset for a few hundred ( or less ) dollars. Thanks for listening.
PS. I forgot to mention in my profile that I'm a B.B.King and Koko Taylor fan also. Even Eric Clapton can belt out a few decent blues numbers when he tries hard.

Have a nice day. bobc.

I think you could have posed an impossible to answer question...

There I was about to say Sennheisers computer range is reportedly pretty good, and then I saw that you want Wireless
