I listen to all kinds of music, so a general performer is preferred.

So far I have these 2:

I would prefer to have a microphone.

I've Philips SHB550BK.

Using it for past 5 months.
Pairing it with with my PC and at times with TV.

Good sound and battery lasts long (5-6 Hrs of constant use; when binge watching TV shows)

Note, these headsets (or any other bluetooth headset) don't come wit hBluetooth sound transmitter. So, you may need to buy one such device if you are planning to pair with PC (in case ur MOBO does not have Bluetooth).

If planning to use with Phone, then no issue.

b/w I've paired with mobile too and voice quality and phone control was really good,.

okay, I actually thought you were saying that in general that good heaphones generally don't have mic.

mic is not extremely important for me.

I have ordered Plantronics Backbeat 505 from amazon. Lets see if it is any good. Should come tomorrow.

returned it. Its fit was kind of weird, not very comfortable. And the music felt a little bland. Going to go with SHB5500BK. let's see

Not really satsisfied with the 5500BK. it is nice and comfortable but the treble is more pronounced and becomes a bit uncomfortable in that kind of songs.

Going to extend budget to 10k.
