Best Telephone For Datacenters?

An anonymous reader writes "I've been struggling to find an effective wireless/cordless phone headset for use in high noise environments, such as a datacenter. I'd love to have something like the helicopter pilots or aircraft carrier deckmen wear, but that can hook up to a pots line (or Bluetooth to a workstation with Skype). Has anybody found a solution they like for datacenter applications?"

    We're talking out in the field today. Hi, what's your name?
    "My name's Bob Fliber!"

    Bob, what do you do?
    "I'm in the artillery!"
    Thank you, Bob. Listen, can we play anything for you?

    "Anything! Just play it loud! Okay?"

    You know you're not supposed to be surfing, what is that? Slashdot? What the hell is Slashdot? It's not Discover Card applications, I know that for damn sure. If you want to keep working here, get the fuck back to work. And quit bitching about the headset. You see anybody else complaining?

    The Plantronics was designed for space plus it looks like it's there unlike a jawjacker. So there you go put a space helmet on (noise canceler) and then strap on a Plantronics headset and you could even use the rest of the spacesuit to eliminate the need to go to the bathroom thereby getting more production. AND...best of all it would look cool.

    Oh, you had to go and post the URL didn't you? Damn you! I bought a severely beat-up used set of 10-40's from another pilot many years ago, and they work great, but I keep lusting after a shiny new set.

    Now you've made me drool all over myself again.

    Daaaaaamn Yooouuu! :)
