Hello,

I'm about to get myself a coach - and need to find an appropriate "Skype" communication device thingy - i figure a headset w/ Microphone would probably be best?

Can anyone point me in the right direction - what should i be looking for to "communicate" with my coach through skype?

Thanks!
Andrew.

Any of the ones with decent reviews on Newegg will work.

I've bought a $10 and an $80 one and both work.

The expensive one is more comfortable, sounds better with mp3, comes with on/off switch and a usb sound card.

Both work fine for voice.

if you're just looking to converse with your coach, any simple walmart mic will probably be fine

Forget headsets, they are so uncomfortable...

Me and all my friends use this.

Its about the size of a .50 cent piece and you just stick it on top of your monitor. No cords to mess with like headsets and the sound quality on the other end is very good. It's also very cheap at about $10.

Almost forgot, it's a Labtec product. Fry's has them and I'm sure you can get one online.
