Is there a product kind of in between earbuds and a headset?

I need something for a stream, I don't want the game sounds to get picked up by my mic. The thing is with earbuds inside my ears, it feels really weird to talk, can even hear myself breathing etc. Normally I would just wear a headset, but it's pretty hot in my room and only going to get hotter in the next couple of months. So I'm looking for something super lightweight and comfortable, but doesn't actually go in the ear. I don't want it to have a microphone, and bonus points if it's wireless. Can anyone recommend me something that ticks the boxes? Thank you.

game sounds should never be picked up by the microphone anyway. 
whatever software you use for the microphone and game recording should filter out any game audio with AEC, automatic echo cancelation. 

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

Koss KSC75 or PortaPro might do it for you.
