I just got a pair of Turtle Beach. They have active noise cancellation
that appears to work really well. I haven't used them in the D.C. yet,
but they work really well. They do not have a boom mic, but they do have
some kind of reasonable built-in mic. They come multi-device Bluetooth
capability as well as:
remote answer
remote hangup
remove mute
turn on/off active noise cancellation
remote volume control
also works with standard physical audio cable (comes with it)
comes with USB based charger
very comfortable
remote base and treble boost
Not cheap.
It remains to be seen whether it works well in the noisy DC on the 'can
you hear me' front, but it claims to have active mic noise cancellation
as well. I haven't tested that function, but the rest works pretty well.
I was on a call today in an office where other people were talking and
the rep that I was talking too didn't appear to notice.

for listening to things, the higher end Etymotics headphones are good
at blocking outside noise. At a much lower pricepoint Decibulz has
molded earphones that block as well or better than the etymotics and
are pretty good sound. Decibulz is just comeing out with a bluetooth
version (the kickstarter ones haven't shipped yet
https://www.decibullz.com/product/decibullz-wireless/ )
The problem with all of these is that the mic is a 'standard' earphone
mic on the cord, so it's not good at other people hearing you.
Years ago I tried the Jawbone bone-conduction earpieces. They worked
well when they were in place, but I had a horrible time getting it to
hold in place (it needed a lot of pressure against the side of my head
to work)
Recently I've been using the headbones bone conduction headphones
http://www.amazon.com/Damson-Audio-DAHB01BK-Conduction-Headphones/dp/B00U8FVVPU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1454016023&sr=8-1&keywords=headbones
They do not block sound (I wear standard earplugs for that). I find
that in really noisy environments I have to press the left side
against my head, and mute the phone when not talking.
A couple years ago I tried a throat mic like
http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Throat-Earpiece-Headset-Samsung/dp/B00PPBNZFQ/ref=sr_1_3?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1454016800&sr=1-3&keywords=throat+mic
but found that with my phone, the audio from the mic was too loud and
distorted badly and my nexus 5 phone didn't have any way to adjust the
mic gain so I couldn't make it work well. It was great at eliminating
outside noise into the mic. It's earpiece was only 'ok', but you could
easily wear earphones over it to block the signal.

For data center work I often use my Etymotics in ear monitors with
ordinary hearing protector ear muffs over them. Very comfortable.
While the Etymotics are not bluetooth, you may want to consider some
kind of noise isolating in ear combined with generic earmuffs.

(I think I want something that goes in/over both ears to try to block
out as much of the background noise as possible.) I realize people in
this group probably have experience with this problem. Any specific
models/brands you like/dislike for this use?
I have always wanted to have an excuse to use a headset like the 3m
Peltor WS100 in the data center:
http://www.amazon.com/3M-Communications-Headset-MT16H21FWS5UM580-Reduction/dp/B00DHVXF2E
Fortunately for my wallet, I never needed them that badly (except twice
on IBM support calls) and now I'm not on the hardware side any longer.
I would be very interested to hear whether anyone has used a full
ear-muff style headset for data center work.
Thanks,
