    Sennheiser PC320 for me. Comfortable enough to wear for hours.

    Wantek Cell Phone Headset Binaural with Noise Canceling Mic and Adjustable Fit Headband for iPhone Samsung Huawei HTC LG ZTE Blackberry Mobile Phone and Smartphones with 3.5mm Jack(F602J35) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06XSPSV..._Id7VAbXBWDQMR
    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 calls

    I saw that, pricey but the reviews were very good. Is it comfy on the ears?

    Bose are great, but it depends on your budget, really
