A friend wanted me to find her a headband so she could talk on her cordless phone hands-free. Closest thing I could find is this [https://www.gojohandsfree.com/](https://www.gojohandsfree.com/) which does not seem terribly substantial to me. I suggested a regular head-band stretched around her face to hold the phone in place. She was not pleased with the suggestion. ---

If you have the model of the cordless phone she has, some of them are headset-ready and a [list like this](http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Telephone-Accessories/Cordless-Phone-Headsets/abcat0811013.c?id=abcat0811013) might help find something she can use. If it’s not headset-ready, then she’s stuck with what you found. Pretty silly. There was a spoof on that on the Ellen show a while back. Ah, [here it is.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvIgks0kESM) ---

Pretty silly. There was a spoof on that on the Ellen show a while back. Ah, [here it is.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvIgks0kESM) From what I can figure in our phone conversation, she is looking more for a headband to hold her phone securely, not a headset to connect to it remotely or by plug. So what I found is actually more what she wants. I’m just looking for a more substantial version. ---

But seriously, [maybe this](https://www.gojohandsfree.com/?tag=im%7Csm%7Cgo%7Ctm&a_aid=011&a_bid=57281d62)would work for her? ---
