I am looking for a couple pairs of good, small, cheap, headsets, ideally that I could use on portable phone (2.5mm) as well as PC, but just voice, not music.

Sennheiser is my usual favorite, and the PC120 looks very nice, but a couple people griped about voice being too soft, people not hearing them. I am wondering if thats a problem or user error with a mute switch etc. Sennheiser lists sensitivity as -38 db on the microphone part.

Plantronics looking at the M60.

Both are cheap enough I may just buy one of each.

Any opinions on the cheap USB Skype looks like a cellphone things? Geeks.com has the AU-100 cheap from time to time (just not apparently now).

Personaly I'm a fan of the Senn PC150's I got a set from NE awhile back while they were on sale and them seem to work reasonabley well w/ teamspeak and for FPS games.

I forgot to mention, wife doesn't like two sided headsets, not two ear things, not even one ear thing and a pad thing.
