According to the excellent Cisco paper "Echo Analysis for Voice over
IP", which the Wiki links to at:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk652/tk701/technologies_white_paper09186a00800d6b68.shtml
"Headsets are particularly notorious for poor echo performance.". This
is due to lack of acoustic isolation. Perhaps you could test using
headphones and a mic.
After reading the above paper, I was able to tune my setup and make a
significant improvement. Given the high number of questions about echo
on the list, it would almost be worth including the link to it as a
file, "README.echo" in the source.
