Back to Night Owl Chat

Headset

Before you can use Skype, you need to have a headset with a microphone.  You can buy a good quality headset for about 2,000 yen. You can buy a headset at your nearest electronics store, like K’s Denki.  I recommend a headset with two earphones instead of one.

If you want a wireless headset (one earphone only), I recommend the Plantronics Voyager 510 headset.  It’s easy to use and very convenient, but it’s expensive.  If your cell phone has a Bluetooth device, you can use the Plantronics Voyager 510 headset with your phone.  I use my wireless headset frequently, and I love it!
Good luck with your headset purchase!
