    Hi - apologies in advance if I'm asking a rubbish question. Got a Macbook there bout 6 months ago with Leopard... am now looking to set-up Skype. Downloaded - check. Have the ISight webcam - check.

    Now just clueless as to next step - what's the best headset to use for Skype, or is there a particular type of one I need?? :confused:

    Many thanks!

    I find the built in mic and camera satisfactory.

    Ditto, the built in is nice but it isn't private.

    Your bluetooth handsfree earpiece can be paired with your MacBook and then used with Skype.

    On my PowerMac I use a Logitech USB headset which is comfortable to wear and sounds good too.

    The built in works great, might have to fiddle with the settings to find the ideal.

    Have a Mikomi headset myself and it works a treat.

    Built in is good. Don't have any experience with headsets though...

    yeah the built in mic / speakers is usually grand in private or quite places

    for not noisy or public places i use these:
    Plantronics Audio 480

    just the regular 3.5mm jacks direct into the line in/out of the macbook (not the USB connection)

    I use the built in mic on my ibook when im around at home. I don't have the need for a headset as i never really use it in noisy or public places
