Headset recommendations for open uni

Grabs39

Hi all, hope this is in the right place!

I'm looking for a headset for open university distance meetings/lectures.

I'm thinking bluetooth would be best so I don't get tangled in wires while making notes etc. I'm hoping it would also mean I could use my iPad as well as my laptop though not knowing enough about the software used yet I'm unsure if that's possible.

Is anyone able to suggest a good device? Looking to spend around 20 pounds but if that's not enough I may be able to go higher.

(The laptop is a Lenovo Z50, A10, 8GB Ram, Windows 10 so should support most things though it doesn't have a microphone port so anything wired would have to be USB)

Does this have to be a two-way device, i.e. you need to speak to the lecturer as well as listen?

What does the OU recommend, if anything?

Does the laptop not have a microphone built in?

Yes I need to be able to speak. OU recommends a desktop microphone or headset - not much more specific unfortunately.

The laptop does have a mic built in but I'm a very loud typist so I'd rather have it away from the computer.

I'm thinking a wireless headset is the way to go but unsure which brand etc.
