My current development team is spread across the globe. As a result we're always trying to do a better job of simulating presence (tools so far IM, Google SpreadSheets). This week the team has asked to try VOIP. My question what headset do you use?

Headset Needs

1. Good sound quality
2. Comfortable to wear (if this works we will be wearing these alot).
3. Good quality construction (I don’t want to look for replacements very few months)

Wants

1. Stereo (so I can listen to music when not talking to colleagues).
2. Wireless – who wants to be tied to their pc?
3. Controls on the headset to answer/make a call – ok that’s asking a lot.

Sets that Amazon suggested:

• Plantronics CS50-USB Wireless Headset for VoIP Softphones
• Logitech Extreme PC Gaming Headset
• Logitech Stereo USB Headset
• Cyber Acoustics AC-201 Stereo Headset/microphone

Have you used any of these? Can you recommend any others?
