[Trainer-Talk] modern solution for split headsets

[Matthew Bullis]

Check out the SteelSeries range of Arctis gaming headsets. The one I have puts both audio sources through both speakers, but I can control the volume of Jaws versus the volume of my Teams call. In addition, there's a master volume. I thought I would be able to turn the balance of Jaws to one side and the call to the other speaker, but this unit doesn't output in stereo, so there was no balance control.

Subject: [Trainer-Talk] modern solution for split headsets

Hi all,

I'm wondering if anyone has come up with a modern solution to the old Plantronics split headsets. These are the headsets where you get the screen reader in one ear and the phone call in the other, most often used in customer services situations. The old headsets required a standard desk phone to connect to. I know that with modern voip solutions, one can just route speech and call audio through one headset, but is there any solution for someone who wants the audio split? Other than actually using two headsets.

Ideally this might be a solution that could connect to an iPhone and a PC at the same time. Bluetooth can do multipoint, but not simultaneously.

Any suggestions appreciated!
