Wireless Headset??

Anyone here know if there is a wireless headset for your computer for talking on like RW or teamspeak? This would be the PERFECT way to talk to people (Through RW/TS Etc..) without paying for long distance or being stuck right at the computer.. Some of you know I got a gf in canada and the phone bills can be crazy sometimes.. but I don't really wanna be stuck to the computer to talk.

I know there has got to be one.. the headset with a reciever that plugs into the USB port or something.. Did I say wireless?

there are bluetooth headsets e.g. >> http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm?co...CONTENTID=7010

also most only have one speaker

A bluetooth phone headset probably wouldn't work too well, as it will only work within a limited range, I think like 20 ft., but it is probably the best thing you're gonna find. What would really be best would be if you could somehow plug you're wireless phone base station into you're computer and then use the wireless phone as a headset. On a slightly related note, I'm thinking of working on a cable and software for it that would allow you to use you're computer as a phone handset. You'd just plug the cable into the part of the phone where the handset goes, and the other end into the USB port of you're computer, and then you can control and talk through you're phone through you're computer. Don't think that could help you, though. What you really need is the other way around, phone controlling computer.

I just don't see why people haven't thought of this before.. reason I don't think many have is because there isn't anything like it really, I've been looking for awhile now. You know how much cheaper it would be if you could talk over something like RW or TeamSpeak, using a phone sorta device that plugs into the USP or the microphone port? Surley, it's possible, they already have them, but why not make it wireless? Everything else is..

This would pretty much be the end of long distance phone bills, as long as you both had a computer and the internet, which are almost as popular as phones now days... It would be free, cept for my cable bill, but I pay for that anyways.
