I'm looking for a more comfortable headset to use with an iPhone. Rather not have it in the ear or on the head all the time, so I'm thinking a neckband-type headset would be best.

I also want high audio quality, so I'm looking for a corded/wired one.

I've tried various Bluetooth headsets, and a neckband-type one*, and the sound quality with them are all not good, muddy. I want crystal clarity like with the iPhone's onboard mike, but I've got carpal tunnel so I can't hold the phone long.

Any suggestions, please?

We picked up a bunch of these as backup to bluetooth headsets at work.

I think more people are using the corded headphones compared to the mid-priced wireless sets.

Pros: simple; no batteries or charging; shirt clip so the cord doesn't get snagged; single ear

Cons: no noise-cancelling mic; single ear; no remote answering/ending calls.

Thank you very much for your reply, mpo!

But I really like the neckband style because having something on my head or in my ear all the time bugs me.
