Headphones / Headsets / Microphones

I have this wireless headphone,

Logitech ClearChat PC Wireless USB Connector Supra-aural

Works fine,, and would like to get another one.

If I got a second one,,, can I use it along with the one I have ? In other words will the one USB antenna listen and talk to both head sets,,, in other words just clone the action of the first head set ?

No, it won't.  Sorry.  Only one device at a time, and even if you plug in both USB antennas Windows won't want to output the same sound to both.

edit:  If you think about it it makes sense, there is only so much wireless bandwidth and with all the error correction and back and forth comunication the USB antenna would need to have a second channel for the second headset.

ok,, thought maybe it would maybe allow a 2nd pair of head phones to be able to monitor the audio, was not needing the mic part. So if a second pair of headphones came in the room,,,,, what would happen ??????? The earth would stop spinning ??? 

Thanks for the reply,,,,, will have to figure something else out for a second audio monitoring device.

No, it is just like two wifi devices on separate networks.  They act like the other device doesn't exist while making sure the transmissions do not overlap (so they both still work).

I have looked into getting two audio outs and it isn't easy.  Natively Windows XP-7 will not output to two sound devices at once so USB audio devices are not a good option.

To use two USB audio devices at once I think you will need something like this, it is not free but I have been unable to find a free one.

If you do find a good way please let us know!
