For optimal comfort and performance SightSpeed recommends using a headset with microphone for the best audio experience. Headset technology has been standardized for some time now so the choices are endless.  Whether analog, USB, or Bluetooth, most headsets will work with SightSpeed just fine. 

Here are few factors that you may want to consider in purchasing.

Fit and style - It’s important that you be comfortable when using SightSpeed as you’ll soon find that an hour will pass before you know it. The most common styles include over-the-head and on-the-ear.  You can also use open speakers but it is not recommended unless you use a high quality echo canceling microphone.

How will you connect your headset to your computer? 

Analog - connects to your computer’s sound card via standard 3.5mm jacks. There will be two 3.5mm jacks at the end of the cord. One is for your speakers (usually pink or red), and the other for your microphone (usually green or gray). 
 

USB - connects to your computer’s USB port. Today’s computers usually have multiple USB ports on the front, back and sides. Since USB headsets need more power, make sure to always plug in a USB headset directly into your computer, and not through a port on the screen or a USB Hub.

Bluetooth - connects to your computer via a wireless technology called “Bluetooth”. To use a Bluetooth headset, your computer should be equipped with Bluetooth already. Bluetooth headsets relieve the need to use cords and gives you a standard line of sight distance of up to 33ft.

All these types of headsets provide great sound quality; it is entirely up to you which type you choose.
For the easiest and fastest set up, however, analog headsets will be best.
