I just got a Blue Snowball iCE for all these assorted business calls. I just listen to how everyone else uses their computer audio and it's generally pretty poor. The price also went down to $39.99 and I had some rewards credit at Office Depot (must have been from years of accumulation because I didn't remember it). But I could use headphones for a number of reasons, starting with preventing feedback with the mic.
Not sure where my old headphones are. I had a Sennheiser HD320 and an HD580 that I bought over 20 years ago and used primarily for listening with an audio system. Last I remember my dad borrowed them, although he said the HD580 stopped working. I haven't looked at it although I'm thinking maybe the detachable cable is busted. Not sure if those would be the greatest for voice, but the HD580 was just so comfortable for listening for a long time.
I'm looking at newer Sennheiser headphones. What others use are headsets. I ordered a Logitech gaming headset for a previous company, but that was then company property after I expensed it and I returned it when I left. But I'll buy one on my own. I was thinking the Sennheiser HD559, but that comes with a 2.5mm (at the headphone) to 6.3mm cable and I'd probably need to get a separate 2.5 to 3.5. Some of their higher end headphones come with multiple cables that include a 3.5 end.
Anyone use a setup like what I'm thinking? Sometimes these meetings go on for hours, or it's just one meeting after another. I'm hoping for something that doesn't hurt my ears, would work well for meeting audio, sounds reasonably clear (don't need mind blowing sound quality), and doesn't produce too much sweat.
