I mean basically like a headset that you can speak into. Can those kind of headsets be used to work with the iPhone via bluetooth?

I got spoiled for Christmas this year and my wife got me a pair. I would never have bought them for myself because of the price, but I must admit that I have used them every single day since I unboxed them and I wouldn’t want to go a day without them. The mic does a pretty good job at clarity and noise cancellation for voice recording/calls and, from my research, the comparable wireless Jabra headsets used in call centers aren’t far ahead, if at all. Plus no dongle.

Well, you asked.

If you want cheaper alternatives, there are the Airpods 3rd gen or the Airpods Pro 2nd gen. The Airpods Pro 2nd gen is probably the one to get, but it's still pricey. The Airpods 3rd gen is cheaper, but often does not fit small ears, is susceptible to ear wax, and does not sound as good (call quality is still decent, though).

I got some Chinese AirPod knock-offs. For around 20 bucks they work pretty OK - only problem is the battery that only last for about 2.5 hours. But I will probably go back to ones with cable - don’t want to charge another device.

Where did you buy them?

Buddy brought them over from a trip to China but there are dozens of similar variants sold on eBay and Amazon.

He also brought a fitness watch but that was absolute garbage - battery lasted less than a day and it broke within 2 weeks.

The headphones are in daily use now for over a year - so can’t complain bang for the buck. It’s definitely not comparable in quality to headsets costing 100+ bucks but for EDC in the city they are good enough and so far no one has complained about not being able to understand me over the microphone.

If the battery would last 4+ hours I would definitely recommend them but 2.5h is a bit on the low side imo (depends on you cause case obviously).
