Skype is a VoIP Internet phone provider that allows users to make phone calls over the Internet with other Skype users. Plantronics makes headsets for use with Skype providing sound quality that is optimized for Internet telephony. Users don’t necessarily have to purchase a Skype headset, they can simply use any VoIP headset. However, a Skype VoIP headset would be optimal. You can choose between corded and wireless headsets. The corded models are either stereo or USB enabled, the latter being compatible with both PCs and Macs. Moreover, USB VoIP headsets are plug-and-play ready. Although the corded models come with long cords that tangle and get caught, many have convenient inline volume/mute buttons. On the other hand, wireless VoIP headsets give users the freedom to move around while Skyping, instead of having to sit right near the computer.
