Works OK but doesn't handle multiple people talking at once - we've had to learn to talk one at a time. Skyp or Teamspeak handle that better? Ventrilo does require server software, but you can run that on your workstation. Normally, my Ventrilo server sits on another computer but I've run it and kloogewerks together a couple times with no trouble. As for headsets, I recently got a Steelsound 4H off of Woot for $20 I think. Works very well. The mic is retractable - tucks into the earcup when not using which is kind of nice. They're full cup, over the ear phones so they block out the wife and kids pretty well. I had a pair of Steelsound 3H's but found the earcup a little small and they pinched my ears. Also had a set of Logitech phones with the plastic around the ear clip - not comfortable and positioning the mic was not near as good as the Steelsounds. A USB port is handy so that you can easily plug/unplug one. The Steelsound has the non-USB ports which means you have to crawl under your desk and get the thing plugged into the computer. If it's going to be plugged in all the time (mine is), then no problem.</blockquote>
