Cheers for the recommendation, much appreciated. Really need them to look good too though. Can't be dealing with big bits of plastic on my head. Saw some nice looking Seineisssiitersnes or whatever they are called but crap reviews...

In that case just get a decent set of over ear headphones. A lot these days even have a mic built in if you need one.

But they're not really what you're looking for.

I'm using a pair of Creative Fatality headphones, they're not the prettiest and only cost about £15 but have really surprisingly good sound quality and are very comfy.
