Sorry to ramble on but I have also tried the Senheizer PC350 headset,
its not bad either.  I wouldn't shout from the rooftops about it
though.  The Mic is high quality and the headphones are not too bad,
not great but not awful.  They are quite a lot less expensive though
at around £170 although i'm sure you could get them for less.  They
are a large cup design and very very comfy.  What made me think of
them for you though is that they let almost all the ambient noise in
as the seals around them are quite hard foam which is comfortable but
doesn't make a good seal around your ear so lets background noise in.
They don't have a USB DAC included though so you'd have to buy one.
Haha just thought of another you could consider. If you have bluetooth
on your office computer you should consider the Nokia BH905 It is a
high quality on ear headset with mic but the mic is not on a boom
which may be convenient for you.  Still picks up sound pretty well.
Also they are active noise cancelling so if it does get noisy you can
always switch them on and be in your own little world. They can be
plugged in by 3.5mm jack although this wouldn't be suitable for you as
it is a single cable instead of the usual 2 x 3.5mm jacks. this would
make it difficult to connect to your computer.  Anyway, sorry to
ramble, I just thought i'd let you know of 2 other options.  If you
decided on the PC350's I have a set I don't use which I'm sure I could
send you for a reasonable price.  I'm not sure they are exactly what
you want but if you look at them and decide you like them.  I have a
set.
