        Be aware that if you cancel out the noise in the ear buds, you won't be able to hear your own voice though your ears. That can be very discombobulating - I've gone out and bought non noise blocking headphones which I use for calls.

          I have been looking at these as well as the Jabra Evolve 65 (Jabra EVOLVE 65 headset with quality microphone) as my current Plantronics C510 headset is falling apart. I'm concerned that the Backbeat pro will be too huge to carry around. Have you got one of these EinsteinJnr?

          I am keen to move to Bluetooth as I can switch between my phone and laptop as the headset allows me to pair with both.

            ^ This. If you cannot hear you own voice, or there's a slight delay, because what you are hearing is going to the other end and coming back to the earphones, it will completely screw your brain, and you will sound like a robot monotone to everyone on the call.

              On my iPhone Skype often fails to maintain the connection to my BT headset. I've reverted to a wired headset. After quite a bit of investigation this is not an uncommon problem with Skype

                Hey redgiant, I tried them last year and have been wanting to get a pair. I use the voyager legend and it most of its features are now in the Backbeat pro - now that I am working from home, might get a pair as I tend to work listening to music.

                    This is why I love this place, in my mind a specific set of requirements (wired, for Lync/Skype) and recommendations for everything else but what I asked

                    Thanks for those who have "helped" so far though

                      Decided to read the instructions for the Momentums and it turns out you can use them as a USB headset - the USB cable is used for charging, but you can use the headphones as USB audio when plugged in to your computer.
                      So, in a roundabout way, my suggestion was valid and hits the brief (for once).
