[QUOTE="Meyvn, post: 689125, member: 7539"] Please, please, please, don't ever buy a Bose product. They may sound great compared to the basic Apple branded stuff and the usual garbage you can find at most retail stores, but there are a million products that cost less and sound a hundred times better. Bose spends nearly ALL of its money in its marketing, convincing you it's all about the research. Don't fall into their trap. Honestly, if you demand a microphone, there aren't a lot of options. Bang and Olufsen makes decent products, but you're paying a LOT more for the design than the functionality or sound quality. I'd highly recommend the Ultimate Ears super.fi 4vi if you insist on this functionality. They're a bit cheaper than the B&O, but UE is a highly regarded Headphone company that does nothing else. Personally, though you'd probably loathe to have two devices, I'd get a separate Bluetooth headset and headphone pair. Koss makes an absolutely outstanding, wonderful pair of headphones called the KSC75 you can get very cheap online, and decently cheap ($25 or less) at Radioshack. I wouldn't get most of their other stuff, but that particular pair (along with its predecessors the KSC35 and the PortaPro) is wonderful. If you want in-ear monitors (sound isolating, block a lot of noise), I'd go for either the Altec Lansing iM716 or the Ultimate Ears Super.Fi.3. And there's any of a number of decent Bluetooth headsets out there, like the Jawbone. Again, though, if you must have a direct replacement, go for the super.fi 4vi . [/QUOTE]
