Inexpensive, wired unit with big foam ear pillows, bonus for foam wrapper
on mike cuts pop and breathing. I use it all the time for meetings with
clients, expecially if anyone is using speaker phone or there's a lot of
ambient noise.

If your computer/laptop has a built-in sound card, it will usually do
better than an inexpensive add-on that plugs into USB or a wireless unit
that depends on no radio interference.

Guys like stuff with Bluetooth (tm) (TBBT reference).

Not a big fan. Many BT headsets try for Borg-like minimalism (bonus for
blue LED to look like Locutus) but sound quality suffers. It's silly to
take analog audio and digitize it and try to convert it into radio signals
to be picked up by your computer BT receiver and turned back into audio
signal and then into ethernet packets if you can skip a conversion or two.

Okay, if you want to go higher end, get something like a blue yeti or
snowball and you will be in the Hi-Fi range. http://bluemic.com/desktop/
