LF headphones

[biee]

Hi there,

Anyone know where to get affordable headphones? Main purpose is to call, preferrably wtih mic.

Don't need gaming ones.

Any good recommendations?

If all you're going to do is make phone calls then any name brand of earphones with mic will do the job. I use these with my ThinkPad for making VoIP calls and for watching videos: ThinkPad In-Ear Headphones • Part number 57Y4488 (http://shop.lenovo.com/us/itemdetails/57Y4488/460/42C705410A574F998E810C8B32EABB79#inline1)

Some nice features include:
• handy mic clip for attaching to clothes
• an adapter so that you can use the separate earphone and mic jacks on older notebooks or the single combined jack found on cellphones and newer notebooks
• microfiber lined carrying pouch that's great for protecting my smartphone from damage

You can buy these online from Lenovo for $20 (or less if you use the Friends and Family portal), shipping included.

As long as you stay away from most of the dollar store earphones that have flimsy and prone to break, you should be OK.

Lenovo has a couple of those too, although I don't have any experience with them. Still for the money, brand name, 1-yr warranty, etc. it's hard to go wrong.
