The "best" headset is always the one that fits my needs at that moment.

For some most important is the protection of their hearing aids and they go for the more expensive Bose/Sennheiser/Lightspeed/etc road. For some it is the go-budget approach and they are able to spent only little money, so they go small passive.

Where I express reservation is with the I-want-it-all optimizers. As above, the wish for a headset and a camera may be understandable, like kids christmas, but when this ends in choosing a cheap headset to also buy a camera, it goes to the expense of your hearing aid. When money is an issue, I always vote for if-you-do-it-do-it-right-or-not-at-all, so put the money to a good headset and forget the camera by now. A good headset protects you for a long time, but a camera will be a short-term toy, which only serves kids play attitude for a while.

But, as I know I am pretty lonely with that strict approach, I was interested in what the OP did.
