I want some bluetooth headphones.

I want some Bluetooth headphones

• A2DP - audio
• AVRCP  - remote control
• HSP, HFP - telephony
• CTP - cordless telephony (why not?)

That's the easy bit.

• Built in mic
• and voice-dialler.
• and noise-cancelling mics AND playback
• and volume-boost for quiet sources (I'm looking at you, DVD player)
• and AVC/compressor for classical music on noisy trains, planes and auto-mobiles.

That's easy too.

Other inputs:

• I want it to take a micro-SD card for a built-in mp3 player
• And even have built-in storage, MTP or FAT32 block device.
• And have a built-in FM/DAB+ radio.
• It must charge from micro-USB, and be a USB audio-interface when plugged via USB.
• I also want a 3.5mm stereo line-in socket so I can use them as normal headphones. But I want it to take a 4-connector 3.5mm jack so that it can function as headphones with mic.
• It should detect when a 3-connector 3.5mm jack is inserted, and offer a 3.5mm microphone out socket.
• I also want a 3.5mm line-out that feeds whatever audio source is selected, so that I can feed into an amplifier or to a friend who has the same headphones (so line-out should not necessarily cut off the built-in speakers).

Did I miss anything?

• It should be able to record to micro-sd or built-in storage. In stereo. From the stereo noise-cancelling microphones any of the other audio sources, including USB, and the phone.
• I should be able to play from any source to the phone. While recording the phone conversation.
• And waterproof for jogging in the rain. (Not for me, for joggers).

But not Chrome-cast or Mira-cast. That requires WLAN, and that would be a step too far.
