Hello friends I am looking for recommendations for over ear headphones with inline controls for muting the mic and controlling volume (volume control less important).  The mic quality is the more important than audio quality (I'll be using the headset for taking calls and not gaming or consuming media).  I have an on ear headset that works well enough, but they hurt after a bit. 

 

Thank you.

Budget? I own a pair of JBL Quantum 100 and they do fulfill your requirements. Has a detachable boom mic, and from what I can tell, the mic quality is also good. They cost me about $30.

I am getting pretty fucking sick and tired of the "watch something else" responses. It's such a cop out answer because you could say that about basically anything, and it doesn't address the actual complaints. People use it as some kind of card they pull when they can't actually respond to the criticism raised but they still feel like they need to defend some company/person. If you don't like this thread then stop reading it. See how stupid it is? It's basically like telling someone "shut the fuck up". It's not a clever responsive, it doesn't address anything said, and it is rude.

For calls, I'm going to suggest the Poly Voyager 8200UC. Poly specializes in headsets for business and these have good reviews on the mic quality. https://www.amazon.com/Plantronics-Bluetooth-USB-Compatible-Dual-Mode

Sorry, I should have mentioned budget.  I'd like to stay under $150, but more so $100.  Definitely not looking to spend $400+ though I appreciate @ShearMe pointing those out.  I actually saw 'em when searching the Poly site as the headset I use is also a Poly set.  Just on ear and uncomfortable after a while.
