 | I'm looking for a headset that will work well for voice recognition that will also be nicely portable. That is, I would like the headset to fold flat so I can easily lay it on top of my laptop computer when I put it in my bag. Also, it would be nice if the plugs are the type that have the 90° bend in them so they do not stick so far out from the side of my laptop that they prevent the computer bag from zipping closed.
I would prefer a two-ear headset that covers the ears. my laptop is a ThinkPad that has BlueTooth support so I could also be interested in a Bluetooth option.

Careful with bluetooth, if you're in an environment with 802.11 the quality you get from the headset[1] is quickly horrible.

 | Matt,
The closest item to your requirements is the Andrea ANC-750. It has stereo earphones. It folds flat in that the microphone boom swivels up to follow the headband and the earphones swivel ninety degrees so the whole unit lies flat. The microphone connectors are standard one-eighth inch mini plugs. I believe Radio Shack has right angle adapters. The link to the microphone is at:
