I¹m looking into getting a wireless microphone or headset for calling and
while the past discussions have been helpful, the database programmer in me
longs for more organized and detailed information. With that in mind, I¹m
thinking about making an online survey for individuals to report the
experiences with various makes and models. My plan would be to summarize the
results so we can get a sense what makes and models people like and dislike
and why.
Before I create the survey, I¹d like to get feedback on the questions as
follows below. Please feel free to comment on the following and to suggest
revisions or additions.
