Skype Shows Off Their New Headset
Skype is an amazing tool which is growing more and more popular on a daily basis. There are still a lot of problems with Skype but mainly the issues come with the quality of microphone and even webcam when talking to someone on the other side of the world. Skype has finally realised this and they have started to make and sell their own microphone.
Today the company unveiled the FREETALK Everyman headset, a USB super wideband audio headset. While first and foremost the goal was to ensure great call quality, Skype also notes that this headset is, “lightweight and folds flat so you can throw it in your bag with your laptop.”
This roadtest review gives a full overview of how it works. Their conclusion? It’s good, but the best part is the price: $22.88. Good-quality headsets usually cost much more than that.

They sure have taken some shortcuts on this one. Feels very cheap and vital things are taken out of it. There is no volume control or mute button, for example. If someone screams in my ear I have to fiddle with the software in order to lower or mute the volume: I might get deaf in the process. I can´t believe a company like Skype has made a mistake as big and dangerous as this.
