Product search: Add-on microphone...
Mar. 28th, 2008 04:14 pmI've mentioned this need to many people and I may even have posted about it before, but I'm still in search...
I have a lovely pair of Etymotic ER-6i earphones. Given the higher density of folks around here than I've become used to, and that I'm fairly near to a bunch of sales folks, keeping them in all the time has become even more necessary than usual.
The problem (and thus the quest) comes from when someone actually wants to talk to me... Pulling them out and putting them back all the time is annoying and slow.
What I'm looking for, thus, is an in-line microphone - to sit between the ipod and the earphones, or the computer and the earphones - that outputs to the earphone side of the system. What with all the voip and on-line gaming systems out there, it's easy to find things that output on the computer (or ipod, in this case) side, but that's not useful.
My google-fu has failed me. 'in-line microphone' hasn't been useful. Etymotic makes something close: http://www.etymotic.com/ephp/compmic.aspx - but that's not at all affordable nor precisely what I'm looking for.
Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks!
