I love my Plantronics USB headset mic, but the quality of the audio isn’t good enough to make them my full time headphones, and the microphone tends to get in the way. Steelseries has come up with a clever solution, the 5Hv2, which combines over-the-ear headphones with a retractable microphone boom.

Now, I’m not sure these are the end-all-be-all – I’d rather they were USB and from a higher end manufacturer, but the day Sennheiser makes a set like this, I’ll be the first in line. Thanks to MacNN for pointing me to them.
