This is such a helpful thread!! I'm starting to look for a headset myself, and would love to ask for some specifications, as well as some more recommendations, if anyone has some more favorite headsets.
Y'all. I have a new favorite headset. Yes, it's even better than my beloved PH-88.
drumroll please....
The Sennheiser Air Traffic Control Headset.

The The Sennheiser Air Traffic Control Headset looks awesome, but I was wondering, does it cover both ears, or is it a single ear headset? From the photo on the website linked it appears to be a dual ear headset, but I did a bit more looking and there's another one that only has
a single ear headset (which is what I would prefer).
I was also wondering if this headset comes with a mute button, as I couldn't tell from the specifications.
If anyone else has a favorite headset that is one ear, with a mute button that is comfy and able to switch from ear to ear, I would love recommendations!
Finally, (and I don't know if these exist or are in common use) I was wondering if anyone has experience with wireless headsets, are you a single one, or at this point can you only buy an entire system? And if so are there any that come with an adaptor that always them to be used as a wired headset (in case you're using a system that only has wired headset capability).
I would really really love to have a wireless headset as I'm backstage a good deal, but I would also love the option to use an adaptor and plug it in to a theatre's system as well.
I would be surprised if such a thing existed (or if it was less than a million bucks) but if anyone has any experience with such a thing, please let me know!
(Also apologies if I used incorrect terminology, I don't have a lot of experience with the exact technical terms, so if I contradicted myself or mentioned something laughably impossible, please forgive me).
