I envy that you guys have amazon as an option. Prices on amazon.ca are pretty pathetic...

Many seller do not ship outside US due to the extra paperwork. Even if they do the shipping cost is quite a bit more and then there are the custom, brokerage fees and sales taxes

Anyone tried these: RHA SA950si?

I tried the Scosche - Costco special retail Pak, 2 pairs for $39.99. Returned them one week later, didn't work. Have had etymiotic hf model for few years but wanted to try over-ear type vs earbuds.

Slightly different topic...
Mrs. Swede wants a corded, over the head handset for her cell phone. Like this...
Most I find have 2.5mm jacks. Looking for one with a 3.5mm jack. She will never understand the concept of Bluetooth and pairing, nor does she like ear bud style headphones.
This is for when she's sitting at her desk making phone calls (not driving/walking
).
Recommendations appreciated.

Not exactly your description, but what about:
http://www.amazon.com/Jabra-Wave-Beh...ar+3.5+headset
This is more like what you describe, but it looks large for a purse. If she wants to leave it in the car, I guess so.

$20 at Best Buy. Will stop by today to pick one up. Reviews aren't that great, and no indication there is any form of noise-cancelling built-in, but at least it's local and returnable.

I am presently using the Plantronic Savi 730 (there are other styles in the 700 series).
http://www.plantronics.com/us/product/savi-700#
Not cheap but considering that I use them for intl teleconferencing, webinars, video link meetings, coaching and consulting it is great performer in terms of audio quality.
I find Plantronic product over the last 14 yrs: great audio on both ends, durable and great service.

Staples is next door to Best Buy, so I returned some ink cartridges and checked out their selection first. I found this...
http://www.target.com/p/ge-deluxe-mo...um_1_1&term=ge mono headset
Staples had it for $25, showed them Target's price on my phone, and they matched it. It's natively 3.5mm with a 2.5mm converter as well as a PC audio/mic port splitter. I think it will work out very well.
I'll have Mrs. Swede try it out tomorrow and post her opinions.

I have a pair of MEE's. They are well-built, cords don't tangle and good sound.

Have u considered an adapter like this that adds the capability to any headphone ... That way you can use the headphone of your choice - http://www.amazon.com/Shure-Accessor...+phone+adapter
