Ok, so I’ve got hold of a new USB headset for Skype purposes after accidentally eating my old one*.

I’ve never before understood why there’s such disparity in price for USB headsets, which I always thought should be commoditised. But my new shiny Logitech headset is a thing of awesome power and functionality. No outside noise, no fuzz, noise cancelling and crystal clear sound quality. Well worth the £40 or so pricetag.

Now if I can just stop accidentally hitting the mute button mid conversation…

* strictly speaking, it just broke… but where’s the fun in that?
