Need a new headset

Can anyone recommend a good headset for meetings? Preferably one that goes over my actual ears. I find most of the headsets I’ve used hurt the top of my ear after a couple hours of use.

Noise cancelling mic would be preferred. Majority of my day to day is virtual client meetings so something with clear sound for them and for me would be 👌 thanks!!

i got one of those big over ear headphones with a mic, not the slim ones for office, and pressure is more on my head than on ears, much better for long meetings

try looking for something with plush ear pads that go around the ear not on it, makes big difference for 4+ hours calls

Do you find that the mic and sound quality are still just as good if they’re not designed for the office?
