i've spliced a cell phone hands-free earbud to have a standard heahpone 
and microphone jacks for my wearable.  i don't do much voice control or
feedback at the moment, mostly use it for quick notes and listening to 
music.  noone thinks twice about seeing these hands-free kits in public.  

eventually, i'd like to move to a bluetooth headset, but lack of 
direct support under linux and mixed reviews of available units 
have held me back.

in the interim, i picked up a pair of vox headsets for ham radios at
the clearance section of radio shack over the weekend.  haven't played
with them yet, one is in need of heavy repair.
