Curious, but do people recommend the Jabra FreeSpeak or the Xtalk 3300? It's down to the wire and I'm not sure which wireless headset to go with.

Is it possible? Idealy, I want a wireless over-the-ear headset that I can use for voice recognition. I guess in general I'm asking if there's a way to split a cell headset's signal into both a mic and audio output so I can plug it into a sound card.
/me hopes
Unless any of you can recommend a computer specific over-the-ear wireless headset, this is the only way I can think of to get a jabra wireless headset to work with my computer. Assuming it works in the first place haha.

IE's of wireless computer headsets that I'm considering:
Logitech Deluxe Cordless Telephone and PC Headset (this one is nice and all, and it *almost* fits my needs except I want the telephone connection to connect to a cell and not a land-line phone; if there exists a rj-11 jack to a 2.5mm, I'd be all over this)
Logitech Cordless Freedom Headset with Remote

IE's of cellular headsets that might work (bluetooth ones also considered if anybody knows a way for a bt handset to communicate with a usb bluetooth dongle on a pc):
Xtalk
Non-BT Jabra FreeSpeak

There's a little adapter they sell on ebay for about $10 that will let you use an 2.5mm headset on your PC. Do a search for "bluetooth jabra" or something along those lines and you'll see them.

Thanks for the reply. Gives me some hope although I can't find it on ebay at the moment. Does jabra make some kind of adapter that can split the signal? Have a link to more info about it? Personally I havn't heard about it, but I'll still look. Thanks again.

EDIT: OMG OMG OGKM OMG!!!!!!!!!! Thanks I foudn it!!! I'm so going to do this!!! I'm all excited noiw wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, *ahem* ok...please anytbody who wants to add anything about their puter plans and how they are making it unique can add to this thread. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!

EDIT2: BTW, does anybody know more about the logitech wireless monocular headsets? It appears that it has a cord that attaches to a wireless sender, kinda like what what you see performers on stage use (the kind that clip onto their pants or what have you). Anybody who has/had these care to shed some light on the matter?
