Doc Brown's earpiece in BTTF2

[MattgomeryBurns]

I didn't see a thread about this, so I figured I start one up.

I'm pretty certain I've identified the earpiece/headset that Doc is wearing in the DeLorean at the beginning of Back to the Future part II. It appears to be a Plantronics StarSet.





EDIT 9/29: the seller below has the incorrect version. See post #57 for the correct one.
There's actually an eBay seller who has a bunch of new deadstock headsets available for $8, so I figured I'd get one to display next to my Doc glasses. If you're interested, search for phillipscomm.

Ouch! I'm shipping a Miller Lite can to Spiderstella in the UK because the eBay seller wouldn't ship internationally. Maybe you guys can work something out and split the shipping costs if you wanted me to put in the same package? Then he can send it on to you. I'm happy to help.

The seller accepted my $6 offer too.

That's an awesome find!! Totally will try to get one of these now haha!

Asking if the guy would ship via first class maybe... If he agrees, I can try to get another one for you Roland if you want me to!

That would be great, if one of you could get me that headset!

Maybe you could get 3 sets and send them to Spiderstella. And he could send one to Emma and one to me. I'm guessing, the split shipping costs from US to UK plus shipping from UK to Germany is still much lower than $47.

When I worked for Verizon we had a large box filled with defective ones that were just thrown away!!! OUCH!!!!

 

[Halliwax]

Sure thing. EmmaInCandyland did you have any luck from the seller? If not I'm happy to send em along with the shipment to Spiderstella.

Nope, he hasn't got back to me yet...

I just ordered a set. Does anyone know where I can buy some Doc glasses that are screen accurate and not made from a chrome plastic that you can see through?

If not from plastic, which material did you think of? The screen used glasses are from non-transparent metal.

That's what I'm looking for. A non see through metal.

I had mine from Russrep, really good glasses, but not really comfortable to wear. You can always have them on the top of your head x)

Well seeing how I don't have anything else from doc's wardrobe they will only be for display.

I agree. I bought mine from Russrep, too. Great quality aluminum glasses and screen accurate.
