My trouble with phones, part 2

Anyway. since we went to Skype, I thought it would be better to get a wireless headset instead of talking directly into the computer. Using computer speakers and mic anyway could result in an echo (although not the cause of the echo per my previous post), so anyway, a headset is a reasonable accessory to the computer and a wireless headset would be the best.

After researching bluetooth headsets, I decided on the Sony Ericsson Akono HBH-300. I thought the other ones looked way too geeky. I thought this one with a clean line was the best looking.

However, with the headset people were also complaining that they could not hear me so well. So based on the following picture from the user's guide, I thought that meant that you could extend the boom mic. Doesn't that seem like a reasonable assumption to you?

Just as a warning, this is NOT what this diagram means. I am not sure what it seems but do not try to force extending the boom mic. So now my headset does not have such straight lines.

Sigh!
