Dual Input Headset?

[The Crispinator]

Hi everyone. New to the forums so I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section, but I work from home and have a lot of down time between calls. Any recommendations for a headset that has dual input playing at the same time from different computers? I'd like to be able to play Skyrim on my PC and have calls come in from my work computer at the same time. Quality is important but comfort is equally so.

 

edit. Sorry. just saw there was a category for sound

There are wireless headsets that can switch sources. There are also audio switch boxes if you were to use a cable headset. I would generally advise against it as it can cause an uncomfortable situation when a call comes in while gaming.

Bluetooth Multipoint would be an option.

Okay, that article is really helpful. I want to make sure I understand this right. Does an advanced multipoint device still switch between the two sources but just more intelligently, or does it play the two simultaneously? Simultaneously from both sources is the goal.

Depends on implementation most of them have app control.

I used it once at work and that was a while back you would have to look for a device that supports this. It is technically possible but finding a device that actually supports this might be challenging.

Perfect, thanks.

Some wireless gaming headsets have a jack input and can play both the jack input and the wireless feed simultaneously, might be your best bet.

 

I've never seen a working BT set that can actually play 2 sources at the same time, and certainly not one that can use the mic while having stereo music even on a single connection.
