the problem here is that any decent headphones you would usually get to listen to *music* through are not going to be suitable for phone conversations, that is, no microphone.

the closest I came to ones was a set of stereo headphones with the silicone earbud covers. These sealed out the ambient noise enough to make the music listenable, and I could hear the phone conversations fine too. And yes, of course there was a microphone. But the very quality of isolating the outside noise meant that they were not very safe to drive with and it made listening to my own side of the conversation awkward like my head was in a bucket.

If you're not worried about a dual use headset, just go with the best music headphones wired or otherwise you can get your head in.
