This would be perfect for a noise isolating microphone. Many popular high quality headphones simply have a microphone near the ear. That makes it hard to hear the speaker in a noisy area. There are solutions, such as what tank drivers and pilots use. however, that involves an external microphone which "doesn't look good". But these headphones don't look good anyways, and has something near the mouth. So, they might as well add a good noise isolating microphone.

BTW, if any HNers know of any existing headphones with good noise isolating microphones, please let me know.
