] Plantronics .Audio 645 USB Behind the Head Headset by Plantronics
I'm not sure why but it only works on the Mac with an adaptor that
converts the mini-pin connections to USB. I think the sound input on Macs
now is really a "line in" requiring a powered mic, not one drawing its
power from the computer. USB or maybe Bluetooth seems to be the way to go
on the Mac for external microphones.
