    Hello friends Do you know some device like this? Frequently me or my wife speaks in the phone and type in the keyboard. In the end, we hold the phone in between neck and shoulder to free the hands to typing. This cause a lot of pain, of course. I wish continue with the common telephone (not switch to a full headset-only), but disconnecting the cable of phone and connecting the headset. It is possible? Someone saw/knows some like this? Regards

      It's probably quite feasible, though I haven't tried it or seen such a device in stores. Both the telephone and the headest probably use similar technology for the audio transducers, with similar impedances, so you most likely won't be risking any equipment damage by experimenting. Get an older phone (or one you don't mind risking) and open it up. Check to see how the handset is wired to the RJ-style connector. Do the same with an inexpensive headset and wire a RJ-style connector the same size as the handset uses in the exact same manner - for example, pin 1-2 speaker, pin 3-4 mike. Plug it in and see what happens. I'm sure there are more sophisticated ways, but that's the gist of it.

        Really a nice idea. Some time ago I have started a basic eletronic course, then it can help me too I will try it.:)

          Phone headsets have existed since the time mobile phones were just science fiction. A simple Google search will give you several links to manufacturers and netshops.

              Simple get a phone line multi outlet splitter hang up the regular handset while picking up the headset. I have had several portables with a 1/8 out for a headset and now almost exclusively use a Plantronics portable headset unit.

                At least two of my home phones have headset jacks. When i'm gonna be on the phone for a while, i just plug in a headset and use that. Yeah, that's a good ten seconds down the tubes, but it sure beats the neck pain. Incidentally, these are cheap, single-line phones. The phone i used to use in the office was a beautiful Nextel model, with more features than i ever took the time to learn, and a dedicated RJ-11 jack for the headset. It was quite nice, but i'm pretty sure the headset alone topped $50.

                  Really cool. Here I found not none model like this... The headsets what you use have RJ-11 jacks? or another kind of model?

                    Naw, they're the little 2.5mm jacks, like you'd find on most cell phones. They look like the jacks you'd find on, say, a Walkman, but are even smaller. Most headsets are in the $10-$20 range, though of course you can pay more. :)
