I regularly visit Stack Exchange to help out people with their questions and help maintain the community. Located in Belgium, I am studying Computer Science at the University of Antwerp.

When I think a post can be improved I will try to do so by fixing grammatical or spelling errors, clarifying meaning without changing it, correcting minor mistakes, adding related resources or links. For the less obvious things of those I will leave a note in the edit, click on the date to see this.

I will only edit content in posts once, and let the author or other users be free to choose to rollback; when there are opposing views, we can raise this to meta to let the majority decide which revision of the post they want.

This will be done with respect of the original author and when I'm sure enough that it would only improve the post, if you need to contact me then you can e-mail me at the following address:

Or if you have enough reputation, try to send me a message with @TomWij on the Super User Chat where I am usually when I am online.

Have a nice day! :)

comment How to determine the model of a cheap headset?
Sorry, this community has the purpose to help with using the related hard- and software as stated in the FAQ. While your goal is trying to prevent the degradation it's unlikely that we can give an objective answer, and any answer would also apply on most non-audio-related products. As the Plantronics site is unlikely to still list it your best bet would be to either contact them with a picture, search for images of Plantronics headsets on a search engine or look around on the sites of second-hand sales companies. Good luck! :-)

Ah, too much different types of Compression, thank you for linking DRC. One more question: Does a reverse action exist? To make things stand out and less soft?

comment What is compression and why is it used?
That's how I see compression from a Super User perspective, but I don't understand how that explanation for compression can be seen as a benefit in this context. How would decreasing the audio quality help?

comment What does the term quantization refer to?
Check the graphs at the right side of this article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantization_(signal_processing); it shows you clearly what quantization does in both axises.
