Headset recommendation

Can anyone recommend a headset for use with Discord/Whatsapp/Skype/Teams etc. while on Zwift?

I'm currently using a Jabra Evolve headset but it's a bit nice (and expensive) to get too sweaty, and you get a lot of wind noise from the mic from a fan/breathing.

I was thinking of something like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Handsfree-Headphone-Non-Retail-Packaging-White/dp/B00SVCQ8DW but I don't know how good the microphone is, probably useless. A headset would be OK as long as it was easy to clean and wipe down afterwards.

    I've been using my Jaybird Vistas, they're designed for sports so water resistant etc. Also bluetooth which is good, no wires to get caught on stuff. I guess a bit expensive if you were just going to turbo with them, but they're good headphones for general sports and outdoor activities too (and good regular headphones)

    They look nice but a bit too expensive, and I need one with a microphone (preferably with a mute or PTT button on it).

    They do have a mic in, I've seen some bad reviews of it but to be honest it sounds fine to everyone ive spoken to using them.

    They don't have a PTT button that's true. I use Discord on PTT mode though so not really had an issue with that. If I had bought them just for turbo I may have looked for that. Wireless is really good though for any sport.
