Hi
i m curious to know this...is it possible to connect multiple headsets to pc...

nepcker · 01-05-2007, 03:09 PM

No. The headsets have a 1:1 Connection to the device that it is connected to it is not possible to have more than one headset connected to the PC currently.

The multiple headsets can be paired at the same time, and switching between the devices is simply a matter of disconnecting one headset and connecting the alternate headset

It may offer some help to you.

i think nepcker u r slightly mistaken ... i think it can be done by using a splitter

I've posted a link about such a product, and I think mkmkmk found it useful.

If u mean same output to multiple headsets then just install a FM transmitter and then ur whole joint family can njoy listening to their personal wireless headset!

quality suffers

A splitter is sufficient and will not cost much... I dont think quality will go down and unless you are an audiophile, you wont notice any difference in quality... I use one of them, but it is not like mav3's picture... It is just a small pin on one end, a short body and two holes on other end...

I didn't experience any noticable quality difference yet!

infra_red_dude · 03-05-2007, 11:08 PM

^^ yeah got it for 15 bucks... quality suffers if u haf "high end" ears and headphones. wid normal headsets/speakers the quality barely deteriorates... so no worries

cost of fm transmitters varies according to its power. i think wid just a 5W transmitter u can broadcast all over a small city. i'd made my own fm transmitter for abt 45bucks. got a cheap fm mic, ripped off the condensor and attached 3.5mm stereo jack to it and plugged onto the line out. it was mono but did its job well. i cud get the audio output in my car parked in garage. i used to live in 2nd floor. so the range was pretty good. i only intended to use it across the room. cheap and ghetto!

but bear in mind that u'll hafta spend on batteries or get rechargable ones. it adds to the cost.
