JVC HAEBR80S Sports Clip Headphones (Silver)

Great sound quality and excellent microphone. I love the lightweight design and since they're not noise cancelling/reducing like most microphone headsets, I can play my games and still listen for my children or any visitors I might be expecting. They also don't rest heavily on my ear piercings like some other "over the ear" earbud headphones can do. The "blue" version though is purple, which was a little surprising when they arrived, but that's a minor detail. I thought the image for the "blue" ones was off, but no, that's the actual color. A nice metallic purple.

I've been using these for years, and I've yet to have a problem. I've been using one pair for my online gaming chats, and even a year later, they work perfectly. No loss in sound quality, and the microphone is just as effective as those in purpose built gaming headphones, but at a fraction of the cost. The only downside I can think of is that these are a little uncomfortable due to their unique way of clinging to the ear, but they don't fall out like normal earbuds can, and they're not as bulky and awkward as traditional headphones. Highly recommended for all uses.
