With a variety of bluetooth headsets, which type do you use...
I use a Motorola H500 usually, works just fine, I sold a Motorola HS801 to a friend of mine (who has a universal), working ok.
I also use a couple a Sony DR-BT30Q, the finest BT stereo I have listened to.

ı use Motorola ht820 also... it is great stereo headset... ı recommend for all user...
I still cannot believe what I am seeing .... the majority of headset users use mono!
Kinda like driving a Ferrari at 100 kmph in a 200kmph zone! Sure the ride gets bumpy at 200kmph ... but that is what the Ferrari was built for.
Incase you have lost the analogy, sure a mono headset is much more compact than a stereo one, but the stereo makes a whole world of a difference. Ofcourse I might be wrong, are there any other reasons for the mono headsets dominating the stereo ones? Maybe price .... but this is largely irrelevant in most countries as well as to most users .... I think :!
Err - I only use bluetooth headset to make/receive calls. I've not used many stereo telephones recently!
If I wanted bluetooth for music, it'd be stereo.
I use an el cheapo samsung wep200 knock off (comes with earband). It's very sensitive to inteference sometimes, but works very well inside the car. I use it in the office too and I find that I can walk about 20 feet to the secretary's desk and still have a clear connection; outdoors however a lot depends on what other objects are around you. Cars, walls, even fencing can intefere with it, but large open spaces like an empty carpark work well.

After a long search for the perfect BT stereo headset for my 8125, I've found it.
The Plantronics Voyager 855.
Over the past couple of years, I've had the opportunity to try a number of BT stereo options, from Motorola, Sony Ericsson and some lesser known companies like Sonorix and i-Clip, amongst others.
I was never quite happy with any of them though.
I take the subway to work, and every set of Motorola headset I tried would lose it's pairing to the phone whenever I either lost the cell signal, or regained it (which meant re-pairing 4 times a day). This also happend with non-stereo Motorola when working in conjunction with BTToggle.
The i-Clips actually functioned alright although the stereo quality was only so-so. For answering the phone, the sound quality was really poor unless I held that big clip close to my mouth, and cupped it if I was outside (even if it wasn't really windy).
The Sonorix, though cool because it allowed me to use my own headphones with it's jack, would need to be re-paired every 3 days or so. I don't know why. I was wondering if it was my phone, even though I had flashed to a ROM that everyone else enjoys.
The Sony earbuds sounded good, and functioned great (the only set who's audio controls functioned flawlessly to this point). Having the dangly stick and extra wires made me wonder why I'm bothering with bluetooth at all, though. Wearing a pendant with to earbud extensions running out of it wasn't as practical or cool as the promo material made it out to be.
In short, no bluetooth stereo headset quite met my criteria... either functionality wise, or form factor.
Until I tried the Plantronics Voyager last month.
It's design is perfect for my needs. It's a typical in ear BT headset, with a clip on ear hook. What makes it cool is the clip on ear hook is the connection to the second earbud (and the cord is braided to be more durable).
The sound quality is right up there with the best of the bunch.
I've not run into any re-pairing issues.
The slide out boom works flawlessly for answering/hanging up calls and all the controls work as they should (only the Sony matched that previously).
6hrs of stereo seemed a fair assessment for battery life from my tests.
The Plantronics comes with a good selection of ear buds (small, medium and large as well as the foam type that mold to your ear canal shape), as well as a couple of optional ear clips if you don't want the stereo dangler.
To conserve battery, I often just use BTToggle to get mono audio (out of both sides) when I'm listening to podcasts. It's definitely a hit on audio quality, but that's okay when it's just talking heads.
The only place where Plantronics loses marks is it's charging situation. Though they can be charged from a USB cable from a computer, Plantronics opted for a slightly different connector than a typical mini-USB one, even though there's plenty of space for one.
Of course the old Wizard barely manages to keep up if I'm running Core Player to watch a DivX vid and streaming BT stereo. If a call comes in, it's slowdown time. Then again, I'm usually watching the vids on the subway, so that rarely comes into play.
In short, I finally found the perfect BT stereo headset for me, and just wanted to share. They're discreet, multifunctional and just reek of quality (the braided cord made the difference in keeping them).
PS: I wanted to try out the Jabra 8010 but couldn't find them locally. The Jabra headset has call-display, and apparently a vibrate feature, so if anyone's tried them, I'd be curious to hear about their performance.
Cheers.
Any skipping like the Motorola s9 ?
What is the best bluetooth stereo headset?
That's sort of a tough question to answer... I doubt many of us have experience with a large enough variety of headsets to say what's "best." You're going to get a lot of personal opinion.
I have a Motorola H700 and have been very happy with it. With my phone on the charger in my office, I can be anywhere in my house and hear clear as day. The volume goes plenty loud, it charges quickly, and is quite small and comfortable. My callers usually can't tell I'm on a headset. The flip-out-to-answer feature is really nice as well.
DR-BT20NX by sony.
Are definitely not the best
The H700 is very popular. Unfortunately, it isn't stereo.
I'll be sure to stay away from the Sony DR-BT20NX.
Check out the Jabra BT8010. It is a bit big though.
go 4 snookey s9 motorola i think i used correct name
these r those neck band ones go 4 it

I have a Sony-Ericcson HBH-DS970 and really like it - very small in-ear buds with great sound, and remote control unit for music.
Still use my Jawbone mono for when I'm just making calls - but if I'm out for a walk and want to listen to music and be able to take calls, the HBH-DS970 works great.
TEAC HP-4BT
i have
i like
I have to carry two phones for work and personal use. I'd like to listen to mp3sc or streaming audio from the internet from my personal phone while working but still be able to take work calls. Taking personal calls would be a very nice addition also.
Is there a headset that can do this? What about a single ear unit?
Personal phone... TMo Wing (Herald)
Work phone... Nokia 6103
Moto H9's
these to me are the best I've ever ever heard......their about 100.00 bucks but well worth it!!!!
MY 2 Cents Peace, mike
You can look at jabra BT 8010. It works as single ear unit or double as stereo with included spk.

Another vote for Moto H9's

Many headsets can pair with 2 or more devices.
I have the Sony-Ericsson HBH-DS970 and I really like it - great sound - minimal weight and appearance - you can tuck one earpiece into your shirtpocket for work use if you need to leave one ear free - nice LED controller for music - see this review, their only complaint was lack of a clip - I just pulled one off a headset I didn't like much, attached to this, and I'm good to go. I think the DS980 is the current version.
I like the Plantronics 855. You can use them single or dual. More discreet and light weight than the Jabra 8010, I have those too.
Also can pair with more than one phone or mp3 player and they pause for phone calls. A2DP.

Moto H9 aren't stereo are they?
Motorola H820s
..better battery life than the S9s, pair with up to 8 devices. i love mine, listening to them now in the office. they also handle handoff really nicely - other headsets i've had have been a pain when they go out and back in range...
Hi guys, just signed up to this forum as I've just recieved a T-Mobile MDA Vario IV. I didn't like it (the operating system so I agreed with T-mobile to send it back and was going to get the N97 when it comes out, as I like the Symbian OS, but decided to keep the MDA now
I was wondering if anyone knows of a decent bluetooth headset that I can use for phone calls as one of my jobs involves alot of driving and it's easier to use a headset. I used to have a Motorola one that I got just after they brought out a law saying that if you get caught using your phone while driving then you get 3 points and a £60 fine. I've since lost the charger for it, and now the headset, so I'm looking for another one. I've looked on eBay, and there are thousands of them, so I was just wondering which ones people are using and if they are any good. I don't want to spend £20 or something on one and for it to be crap, in terms of sound quality, loudness, battery life, etc.
Cheers
I use Nokia BH-503
they're great
works fine with my x1
they are stero though
I use Sony HBH-DS970 on my Uni and work great
Stereo
Sennheiser MX W1 - No Bluetooth but excellent Audio quality.
Whoops, forgot to mention that its just for audio listening, no microphone
Watch the motos BT headsets listed on ebay, there is a ton of fakes going around. I've read this in a few places in the past...
Sony HBH-DS970

Can you see who is calling in the BT head set?
what about the name of the song playing?
Hai
I use nokia they are very nice to use,,,,
Anyone got a BT stereo headset they can recommend?
I was wondering perhaps if there was such a one that could be used as a good stereo multimedia headset, and converted to mono earpiece for use in gps navigation?
Have the Moto S9-HDs and they work great.
thanks kareem.
I was looking at the Plantronics Voyager 855. In a review I read the S9 sounds better. So I may now change my mind! Does the S9 work ok as a standard BT for answering phone?
I use this ones since some time ago and they sound quite well (Not new model of course)
Sony HBH-DS970
Moto S9-HD
Ok, I bought a Moto S9-HD (£10 on eBay).
WOW! I had been using HFP on my blade (obviously for navigation, not music!! I had to use wired for music.)
But this A2DP is great.
I can now cut my lawn without precarious wires dangling! (as long as I do it within 6 hours..!)
The S9 has great volume - for once I can switch it up 'too' loud; with my blade and jabra BT2020 (<- very disappointing) I always had them on 'full blast' and then had to switch the Uni up.
The S9 is two sided - it can do phone calls and it can also play music (and 3rd dimension can also remote control the music).
I expect I'm only ranting on what A2DP can do, rather than the S9... and am sure the DS970 and Voyager 855 has the same properties. [NB, a difference between the S9 and 855 is how they sit in your ears... unsure about DS970 (orb?)].
Ok, bottom line. If you have an HTC Uni, get an A2DP headset.
No-one knows what's hidden in your pocket as you can totally control it from your headset (AVRCP). I can skip tracks, go back, pause, change volume and also answer calls (HSP)
And then of course you can totally blow people away by taking you Uni out your pocket and letting them know what it can do . Doesn't matter it's big, as long as you can carry it... and us blokes (hrmm, and capable ladies, excuse me enigma1nz ) are able to put it in a pocket (hrmm, handbag) etc. [nb, not to tell a funny story, but I have found that handbags/ ladies/ men/ pockets are all interchangeable these days.. yes, men have handbags!.. but I digress and wish to stop digging this bit hole I've found myself in ]
I'm unsure under UK law if I can use my S9 in my car (just for phone / navi), even though it's better than my other BT earpieces... anyone know? (Because under UK law you're not allowed to obscure your hearing by wearing headphones whilst driving... yet you are advised to use a handsfree kit otherwise you will be prosecuted)
Thanks kareeem & orb3000.

DS970 are quite confortable and very very light.
