Defiantly get one with a mic boom rather than a posh pair with the mic build in, I have a pair of B&O which are brilliant for listening to music or watching videos but I still use the Jabra for video callsOriginally posted by cojak View PostThe Bose are excellent as noise cancelling headphones, but the mic picks up any and all ambient sound and can only really be used when you’re on your own.
I’ve been looking at headsets with noise cancelling mics and came up with these.

+1 for the 40s, work better on a PC than a Mac but I like having the cord and the mute button for when I'm not paying attention on calls, go for the duo rather than the mono thoughOriginally posted by redgiant View PostI have a pair of Jabra Evolve 40s for when i'm traveling. They are very comfy and can be used in a 3.5mm socket or USB.
