Headset for smartphone

[Torg73]

So for the past 3 1/2 years or so I had a smartphone (current one is Note 3) but for the past 2 years I have had a pair of cheap Bluetooth stereo headset, sound was ok but not great.  Now am in the market for a new pair of headset as its handy to just press the button on the headset to answer a call or use the media player.

 

My problem is I don't know what would be better a wired headset with a replaceable cable (cables break easy for me) or try a more expensive Bluetooth headset.

 

What do you lot think I should get?  Am in the UK and my budget is about £150-£200 if I can get the a good comfortable pair that will last for a long time.  Brand's I will not go for is like Skull Candy and DR.Dre and am not a big fan of Bose either but if there's a good set then I might go try it out.

 

If the Controls are on the headset that's ok as long as you can easy use them with looking

I believe the HD429S does what you want and they don't sound bad.

This is the updated version of what old bluetooth headphones used to be. The technology has improved a lot, thought of course you paying a bit more for the wireless features than just sound quality.

V-Moda's all have replaceable cables, and might be going on sales this time of year - just keep an eye out.

Both the HD429S and the MM 500-X both look good but the MM 500-X has the advantage that it can be folded in to a pocket so that's the one I might go with. 

 

Am not a big fan of earphones, sometimes I get ear aches with them.  The only one I had that I could wear for long periods of times is my A-Jay's but the cable broke that's why if I go with a pair of headset's has a replaceable cable like the Sennheiser Momentum On-Ear Headphones.

Just a follow up question, how do you lot rate AKG headset's? is it worth me looking in to getting the AKG K452 for my note 3?
