    I am not a fan of wireless for Unified Comms (ironic knowing the client I am with), I keep the 40's for business and a seperate set for using on the phone, I am looking at these at the moment.

    Although my wireless over ears broke I may have to replace them soon.

    Evolve 40's = Business
    Libratone = Everyday wired
    (probably B&O H8's) = Travel

    The Evolve's were paid through the company, the others myslelf

    Wish list:
    Boom mic
    3.5mm jack
    Fairly discreet

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks

    Also, if you travel a lot - noise cancelling, bluetooth for connecting to tablet/phone and will work off a normal 3.5mm jack or USB.
    Sorry, I did mean it when I said they look good.
    A bit big for what in looking for, that and the £250+ price tag. I'm far too tight...

    I use a Plantronics Voyager Legend, which works brilliantly for Facetime and phone calls, but for some reason it seems shakey with Skype. So not a very helpful suggestion, although it might just be that I have a duffer. Great BT earpiece / headset though

    I should add that a 3.5mm jack isn't mandatory. Laptop can handle Bluetooth so that is an option too

    I have the more expensive wireless version and they work equally well. There was a long discussion on this forum on wireless headsets too if you extend your search too.
    Thanks, I found the old thread but it looked like the suggestions were for desk phones. (I may have read it wrong) I'll take another look.

    As for discreet, I was thinking more about the overhead, massive noise cancelling headphones. Some can look really big. Something in ear would be perfect.
