A friend does coaching - and wants to be able to do it over the phone.
What phone gives the best sound quality?
Should he use a headset?
Advice appreciated.

Dear Chris

I use an SPA941. The quality when using a codec like uLaw is excellent.
It has a socket at the side for a headset. It takes the new smaller 
2.5mm size plug not the 3.5 mm traditional earphone size.
I use a single earpiece type from my DECT 'phone but a proper headset 
has the advantage in reducing external noise (causing distractions) and 
can help you hear better if its the two earpiece type.

You need to take all factors into account so also use an ISP with a good 
reputation for technical performance.

I think the OP is talking about POTS not VOIP.

Bang & Olufsen £xxx,

but you really need one at each end...

You don't specify what sort of coaching - cricket, singing?

Just be aware that the frequency response of POTS (plain old telephone 
service) is, at best, between 300 - 3.4kHz.  This is due to the sample rate 
used for the pulse code modulation.  Perfectly adequate for speech but not 
so good for music.
