Hey guys, at my current job I work in a relatively noisy environment and also frequently need to take client calls. I need great headphones with good isolation for buckling down and focusing on work, but also an excellent microphone for calls (its critical that this is good quality as I'm regularly on calls with executive management at Fortune 1000 firms).
I've tried a few stereo bluetooth options and have generally been very disappointed and found the devices to also be inconsistent. It seems one limitation is the bluetooth protocol itself, which does not handle high-quality outbound audio plus inbound microphone simultaneously.
Anyways, I'm thinking my best bet is the V-moda BoomPro 3.5mm cable with in-line boom mic. Apparently it works very well.
Now the question is: what headphones are great and work well with them?
One option seems to be the Sony MDR-1A, although if I can get something similarly good for cheaper that would be best (don't want to raise eyebrows with my expense reports).
For reference on my tastes I listen to: Shure SRH-840 for closed, Alessandro MS-1i for open, UE Triple.Fi 10 for in-ear.
Ideally I'd use a 2.5mm --> 3.5mm adaptor to use the mic with my Shure's but it doesn't seem like there are any good rigid+small adaptors for that, and I don't have the available time to modify the headphones myself.
Any thoughts highly appreciated...
