I'm looking for the best solution for a noise cancelling mic that I can use, while not having to wear headphones. I love my main 5.1 sound system, and while I have good comfortable headphones, it's not quite the same. I am wondering if there is a good noise cancelling mic that clips on to an ear that either does not have a speaker, or where the speaker is optional.

Basically I want to have loud ambient room noise, but still have the mic just pick up my voice (if strapped on the ear, my mouth would be right by the mic).

Any chance there's some sort of good solution for this?

yeah but if I have my speakers blasting won't that pick up easily? Wouldn't I need it to be closer to my mouth if it would have a chance of working?
