				| I'm looking to replace my six year-old telephone headset (wired to my old-fashioned landline desk phone). 
 Is anyone able to recommend a good, reliable brand and model?
 
 Thanks.

				| I would check and see if Alexander Graham Bell is still in business. If he is he might have a smoking deal for you.

				| When I still had a land line, I replaced the telco-supplied phone with a Panasonic wireless phone that came with a couple of remote receivers, one of which was in my booth.  They each had a headphone jack.  I got a pretty simple Plantronics headset  at Staples for around $30, similar to this one, except it had a mini plug, not a USB connection. 
   
 When I abandoned the landline and started using my mobile phone, I needed to get a 2mm to 3mm adapter to be able to plug one thing into the other (I forget which was the 2 and which was the 3).  Some Plantronics headsets can get pretty pricy, but I have found the bottom of the range models to be perfectly suitable.
