    Yeah, for important biz calls I use a real bluetooth headset made specifically for phone calls or a wired video game headset with a microphone that pulls down near your mouth, the stereo one's microphones on earbuds aren't that great. You really need a boom mic.

    I wear headphones. For me, it's old school.
    However, for total comfort, I'll use my SD card/bluetooth Rockville RPB 20's or the RPB21 speakers. Sound quality is superb considering they average $25.00 each. Check them out in Ebay. There are days you want to spread your musical diversity to the unsuspecting public.:djspin::feelbass:

    These are what I use for everyday use, absolutely love the PowerBeats by Beats.

    As far as long distance travel, for the past 10 years I’ve had BEATS over the ear, and they have been great. I read an article about these Bowers and Wilkins and thought I’d mix it up. I can tell you these are the best sounding headphones I’ve ever put on. Simply amazing sound.

    Over the ear headphones for me...I have a set of Sennheiser's that I've had for 40 years...and a much newer set of Grado's.

    Both are great but I still like the Sennheiser's a little bit more.

    I have Plantronics over ear headphones that are noise cancelling. They are awesome.
