    Thinking about saving some money by using skype to make long distance calls, however I'm just wondering what's a good headset with a decent range so that we won't have to use it while standing right next to the computer?

    Most BTooth Heads have a range of approximately 30 feet, are you looking for like something like the Motorokr S9s? or the Plantronics 590? Both of which are very good IMHO ( i own a pair of each )

    Was thinking something more along the lines of an earpiece. And below $100 would be preferable.
