Wireless headphones with best microphone

I'm looking for a wireless headphone with the best microphone when it comes to transmitting voice. This is the main factor. I'm not looking for audiophile-level headphones, although good sound quality is of course welcome. I will be using them for work, in the office, paired to the PC. I also want them to be over or on the ears, no earbuds.

My budget is somewhere around 200-250$ max.

I've already tried Plantronics Voyager Focus but I'm not satisfied at all with the microphone quality.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

This modmic you're suggesting is only wired, so it's not really what i'm looking for.

There may be a little bias as this is my favorite headset at the current time.

 

The Hyper X Cloud Flight is an amazing headset you can find somewhere between $100 and $150. It works wirelessly over USB dongle. The mic is detachable but thanks to the wireless dongle not using Bluetooth but a 2.4 GHz wireless connection it has the best wireless mic quality on the market (from my experience). Honestly, I can't stress how hard it is to find a wireless mic that has a good quality mic, but the Cloud Flight is one of the only two I would recommend with the other being over $200. That alongside the fact that the mic is detachable... You need to look at the mic quality on youtube videos yourself to see how clear it is for a wireless mic. Also if you turn off the lights the headset lasts for over 30+ hours on a single charge.

Main point: Wireless mics all such currently, but thanks to the use of a GHz connection instead of Bluetooth, the Hyper X Cloud Flight is one of the few headsets that can beat this barrier. 

The only con I would say it has is the fact that it only comes with an audio connection if you do choose to go wired instead, so you won't be able to use the mic, again only if you choose to switch to wired for any reason.

Indeed, I was starting to fear that after recently purchasing the headset which many reviews proclaimed as the best on the market - Plantronics Voyager Focus - just to realize the mic pales in comparison with a much cheaper wired Microsoft headset.

 

I will do some research on your recommendation, Hyper X Cloud Flight, and one of its direct competitor models I read about, Steelseries Arctis 7. Thanks!
