Does anyone know of a manufacturer who make a Wireless headset with built in Microphone that **doesn’t** use bluetooth? I had a bluetooth one in the past and it worked _okay_. At work we have wireless headphones (with no mic) that use RF instead. They have much better range and less interference. The company that makes them doesn’t make a version with a microphone however. A search of my prefered suppliers for PC bits has found nothing. Anyone ever seen an RF headset with Microphone? ---

Bluetooth _is_ RF, so, not sure what you’re getting at. ---

Sorry, I’ll clarify. The two kinds of headphones are marketed as Bluetooth or RF. They use a Bluetooth system or Radio frequencies. The radio ones have none of the bluetooth “Pairing” or other elements of the standard.
