Bluetooth headset for work and music

[almoststew1990]

At work most of our telephoning is via Skype, to each other and clients. I also listen to music. I use some mediocore half-in-ear headphones that don't sound that great.

I am looking for a wireless headset for under £60 that has:
- Reasonable quality microphone on a foldable boom
- Reasonable sound quality - I am not at work to rock out but a step up from the tiny in-ear things would be nice.
- minimal sound leakage out, but being able to hear what's going on around me a bit would be beneficial!
- Can use a cable when the battery is flat to charge and still make calls.
- Sensible looking

To be perfectly honest, your budget is only going to get you a cheap Chinese knock-off brand. It's asking a lot to get anything decent for that, as your brief is basically a wireless gaming headset as you want foldable mic.

You can get the very good AKG Y50 for £50, but it is wired and has an in-line mic, which is perfectly usable anyway.
