I found this switch:

http://www.amazon.com/Plantronics-PC...f=pd_rhf_p_t_1

but its a little more expensive than I would like, does anyone know of other alternatives to this that are cheaper?

Also, I am thinking about going with the Sennheiser HD-555 plus zalman clip-on mic but I currently live in a dorm and with the 555's being open how much sound can be heard outside of the headphones?

And finally, what would a similar or cheaper alternative be to the 555's? (either headphone or headset).

Thanks

Open headphones don't bleed as much sound as you think.
I have AD700 and when I let other people use them I can't really hear much.

I guess if you're in a library it might be an issue, since its so quite but if there's any type of ambient noise the sound bleeding isn't really noticeable.

The Audio Technica AD700 are a pair of headphones you can look into.
$90, $105 with zalman mic at amazon.

Yea, I saw that one while looking around, its just the 'cheapness' look of it kinda worried me. Anyway, from your experience it does work good tho?

I had the same feeling about it to that it looks cheap but with no other real options besides paying $35 for the Plantronic one, I decided to go for the $10 and see what happens. No problems at all with it.
