Headsets And Movie Stars

Telephone and mobile headsets have played a huge part in movies since its creation.

Headsets have been used in different industries since the early 50s.  Nathaniel Baldwin who was a student of Stanford University invented the headphones, however, it was just after the World War 2 that it has gained popularity.  From Herbert ‘Mac’ McClelland’s wireless microphone worn by baseball umpires during the 60s down to Platonic’s’ space headsets to today’s Bluetooth technology, headsets are still vital to several industries.

Wearing a headset signifies control and power.  It envisions command over conversations.  When we are talking about movies, a headset implies military, espionage and aviation genres.  Tom Cruise, a multi awarded and highly acclaimed American actor and producer used headsets in almost all his action films such as his recent blockbuster movie Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol.  Vying Rhymes would usually give directions to Tom through the use of a headset.  Another action film, which featured Platonic’s M130-series headset was James Bond’s Die Another Day movie played by Pierce Brosnan.

Although it is mostly seen worn by men as operatives or as a spy or a secret CIA agent in action, its use is not limited to men.  It is also seen in films wherein it was used by women just like in the movie Source Code.  Vera Farmiga who played the role of a Chief Operator and became the link of Jake Gyllenhaal between the virtual world of the Source Code and the outside world.  Another action movie played by a woman with a headset was Denzel Washington’s Unstoppable.  Here you would see Rosario Dawson playing the role of a liaison officer and a link between Denzel and the rest of the rescue team.

Aside from telephone and mobile headsets, PI Manufacturing Corp also offers high quality video baluns that are also used in movies especially movies that involve using security cameras.

Whether they’re riding a helicopter, using a fast car or jumping from a tall building, headsets have played a vital role in making great movies.  It changes the whole scene and it creates excitement and thrill.
