My wife has a flip phone and likes to cradle her phone on her shoulder so she can do things while talking. She is getting a smartphone but these are much less comfortable to use in this fashion. I'm thinking of getting her a headset. It doesn't have to be super stealthy, but it must be very

My wife got a Plantronics Voyager Pro+ almost a year ago. If you're planning to use it outdoors it's worth getting a model with noise cancellation. The Pro+ also supports A2DP profiles, so it can be used as headphones as well as a phone headset - in fact it can pair with two separate devices
