HEADSET No. 5


Headset No. 5 (Auralite Supra), Headset No. 5A (Auralite Supra Executive) and Headset No. 5B  - pictured to the right (Auralite Supra Executive fitted with a plug 430).

Headsets No. 5 use the improved technology of the Headsets No. 4, but have a headband to support the receiver which is similar in design to a personal hi-fi. Only one of the two earpieces is active, the other is purely for support.

This headset was supplied by many companies and many more variants than what are mentioned here.

Made by Plantronics.
