Hi all,

Not sure this is the community to ask in, but I couldn't think of anywhere better.

I kind of hate switching headphones when I'm on my computer, so I wanted to find a wireless headset that sounded decent enough that I could use for music while working, but I have some very specific requirements:

Open backs
USB wireless (not Bluetooth)
Decent audio quality
Reasonably compact

Does such a product even exist? Ideally, it would also have swivelling earcups, so it can fit nice and flat in my backpack when I'm on the go.

I currently have a Philips SHP9500 paired with a cable that has a built in microphone. With this setup music sounds good, and my voice sounds good to other people, but it's neither wireless, nor compact.

Something like the modmic wireless might be a solution that could work with whichever headphones?

I use an RF wireless steelseries headset for work/gaming, but it is mediocre audio quality at best (and they're closed cans).

Interesting option, though 150 is what I'd like to pay for the the entire headset, not just the mic.
