Beta test of a wireless headset for office workers

By Nate Mook | Published May 15, 2008, 5:50 PM

Beta testing firm Centercode is seeking testers to try out a new wireless headset designed for office environments that promises unparalleled range and audio quality. Individuals must work in actual offices in the United States or Europe.

Testers must already be users of an advanced telephone system (PBX,NBX, VoIP), and spend three or more hours a day on the phone. Those who participate in this test will also be eligible to join future beta tests held by Centercode, which works with companies such as Adobe, Apple and Palm. To apply, visit the beta test callout page.

I did some hardware testing for centercode a few years back. I tested some networking gear and then moved on to test a hand held came console.
The latter got our test group accounts removed from the centercode. The admins were too quick to point fingers and our accounts were deleted. Later we got an email telling us there was a mixup and it turned out our group hadn't leaked the games. However, it was too late for our accounts, they were deleted and no way of getting in contact with them again.

Hopefully things have changed, good luck to anyone testing this product.

3 hours? Depends on user demand. I already use a wireless headset and it makes a big difference. It helps when I have to type and talk at the same time, or walk across the hall into the server room to make some configuration changes that I can't do while remoted in, or out in the lobby working on a computer or printer while trouble shooting with a vendor on the line. If this will extend the distance or sound better, I'm all for it.

Is the test for radiation levels and it's side effects on the brain?

I am way overqualified for this study. 5 or 6 hours is more like it.

If you're on the phone 3+ hours a day, you're already in hell.
