I've never used a wireless headset, so can't comment on particular models. I've been pretty happy with Plantronics wired headsets I've used for communications (earphones plus microphone). The mic can flip up when you want to be "off the air".
One problem I've observed was a combination of the microphone being too heavy and/or the attachment to the head not sturdy enough. WHen the caller moved (that's why you want a wireless headset, right?) the microphone shifted around, almost falling off, and sound varied between way loud and nothing. So do some head shaking when you are trying them out.
