Hi all,

The world needs to see the invention of comfortable, good quality over-head BLUETOOTH headphones with a proper mic.

I hate not being able to use my headphones on a bus, when speaking on the phone as the mic isn't strong enough to pick up my voice clearly, if I speak quietly.

How do I fix this problem?

Maybe a pair of headphones like gaming headsets, with a fold down mic (that pivots down).

I need something I can whisper with, (to not disturb others), and be able to hold a conversation.

Why hasn't this been invented yet…surely I'm not the only person that needs this!?

  Do you really want to be seen on a bus, using over the ear headphones with a fold down mic? Crikey mate.

      But to answer your question the Bose QuietComfort 35 Wireless Headphones would come close.

  Look into the Bose 35s. The Bose store is currently having a 15% off sale and you can return them in 30 days if they don't meet requirements.

    I've got one of these, when the microphone is up you'd barely notice it. I don't like that the button doesn't pause audio, but no other complaints.

      do you use them as both headsphones for music and headset for talking? we are thinking of getting them at work (so i would connect it to my deskphone, and also use it on the train)

        Personally I find them to be great office headsets, on the train they are ok, but not my first preference. Depending how many staff are in the office and how close they sit you may have problems with Bluetooth density causing interference. If you've got more than 100 headsets to buy you may be able to get some free samples http://www.jabra.com/c/global/freetrial
