For those who aren't already familiar with the issue, the Translation Bureau is making recommendations because headsets with inadequate audio quality have been causing hearing damage to interpreters. (i.e. harm to the interpreters is caused by the poor quality of the speaker's mic, even when the interpreter is using proper equipment) But the added bonus is these headsets provide stable sound quality in all contexts, not just interpreted meetings. Edited with a response to the actual question being asked: I switched to the Logitech H111 when I first learned about these recommendations several years ago. It's the most affordable of the headsets on this list, often priced under $20, but nevertheless colleagues noted an improvement in sound quality over the gaming headset I'd been using previously.
The only ones I'm using 99.9% of the time from like 3 or so years - Marshall Major IV. They have almost everything I look for in headphones - thick sound, thick bass, cordless usage, have microphone, long battery life. The only thing they lack and I would like them to have is input audio-jack. They depend only on Bluetooth input. They have audio-jack, but it's only for sharing the output with another one. The other ones I'm using when my Marshall's are charging are also good, Logitech H111. They are plain ones with combined audio-jack for stereo audio and microphone. Recommend both models.
