I look for a functional BT headset in good price.
I bought from a seller in eBay the JAWBONE ERA for 60$ (Manufacturer refurbished).
I read some users reviews in AMAZON and debating whether to return the product and buy another one.
I saw dozens BT headset from all the big companies (JABRA, MOTOROLA, JAWBONE, BLUEANT).
what do you think about the Motorola HX550?
thanks ppl!
I used to go with Jabra all the time but after four of my Jabra's died on me I gave up on them. Customersupport is great though since Jabra did send me replacement headsets.
Since I only use Bluetooth/handsfreecalling whilst driving I switched to the parrot carkit. Works like a charm.

I'm looking at the idea of getting a bluetooth headset for riding my bike (the self propelled kind, not a motorbike). I'm not keen on the idea of paying ~$AU100 for something I find is useless, so Im after people's experiences and suggestions.
I'm mostly looking at this for listening to music, so first up if that's a no-go, then I need to know that (I'll be using a BlueAngel).
So, yeah... Any suggested models and any to avoid?
i'm using bluetake
http://www.bluetake.com/products/BT420EX.htm
i'm happy with it
I'm using a pair of Motorola HT820s (kinda heavy, but your ears go numb after a while and you forget it), which serve me well and sound good, but has a CSR chipset so i get easy clipping for A2DP, my coworker uses some BlueWalker ones and he says they're nice, they're lighter than the Motos, but still loud enough. A2DP on those, don't know the chipset though.
Unfortunately, for <$100, you're going to have to go for some dodgy yum-cha solution from Hong Kong, off ebay for 5c and $45 in shipping.
I've been looking around, and decided on the HP Bluetooth Stereo Headphones. I don't want voice functionality, and the HT820's look a little big. I ordered them yesterday, but there are reports of people getting them working with my phone (O2 Mini). Don't look dorky, but don't have wires. Only problem is that people report that the neck cracks, but with enough whining you can get them replaced through warranty. Toshiba are also selling the same headphones rebadged, but they're not out in Australia (yet).
Oh, those HP headphones are $99 from HP, free shipping (for the time being).

Not necessarily; CompUSA occasionally has the Moto HT820 in the $75-$80 range. I picked up a set there for $70 about 6 weeks ago.
nXZen Plus from Gennum works great
I picked up the nXZen Plus after listening to their demo on their web site of their Extreme noise canceling. Works great, lots of extra pieces to make it fit comfortable. Also supports stereo and comes with a extra Mini plug for your second ear. plug the wire from the mini plug into the back of the Bluetooth Headset & you have stereo. Comes with both AC charger & USB charging cable. Bought mine from Compusa. The sales clerk did not know they had them. I show him their web site with the demo. Cost was $ 129.95. I would not have paid that much for my first bluetooth headset, but this is my third and last headset.
Me and Jed D`Lagged were talking $AU, not $US. Jed D`Lagged didnt mention currency, but did mention Australia. I specified $AU in my first post also.
I was going to order the HP headphones earlier today, but didnt because I decided I also want to buy a laptop from HP aswell, but cant afford to this week.
This one named iTech has great sound quality and is in a small form factor, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=9121031457. I used to use iPhono one, the sound is good but the size is big so this iTech is the only one I found that it's best for both worlds.
I got the HP headphones, and they work "great".
There are still issues (cuts off start of song while it reconnects, occasionally skips) but I'm pretty sure those are stack issues as opposed to issues with the headphones.
I just got my www.jawbone.com headset. It is wonderful, works as claimed.
I have tried at least 12 others, this is the best.
That's fantastic! Where do I get one in the UK?
And the Jawbone customer service is as good as the headset itself
I also purchased the Jawbone headset. It does really work as they claim.
Unfortunately, I broke the standard ear loop. I had the headset in my front pants pocket and bent down to pick something up. I am using it with the longer ear loop right now and it doesn't hold the headset as tightly as it should.
I sent an email to [email protected] and received a response in less than an hour. They are sending me two replacement ear loops at no charge. They also wanted to know how I broke it to ensure there wasn't some kind of a defect in the design.
Excellent headset and excellent customer service.
oh man that is awesome...
i think i might have to get one...

jawbone 2 works much better than the first! i would recommend the 2nd over the first version any day!
works much better then the first, but I think my blueant z9 was better (lost it..)
I actually have a blueant z9i on order - so will be able to do a side-by-side comparison soon. I'm tired of people telling me that I sound like I'm in a tunnel when I use the jawbone 2. (and it can't handle wind..)

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

I use Sony HBH-DS970 on my Uni and work great

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...

Heya, I just recently bought a Jabra BT8010 but I failed to realize that the bluetooth was only sold with the main piece but I was told I can find the 2nd (the stereo unit) piece somewhere. I've been hunting on google and all that for a long time and have yet to find anything. Do you guys have any suggestions? I want to use the stereo bt capabilities of my Fuze.

where did you get it from? mine came with both peices
this unfortunate place called ebay. It was my fault really, I wasn't reading it carefully... I'm just looking to buy the 2nd piece.. it looks like it's a discontinued product though
Jabra BT 8010
Did you find where to get the second earphone for the Jabra BT 8010? I've just purchased a unit and it only has the mono piece. Thanks.
no luck so far.. I'm going to take the jump and buy the full set... I'm probably gonna sell the mono piece on ebay
I like to use bluetooth headsets to talk to the phone. With all my previous phones (samsung,lg,zte,huawei) I have always used Nokia bluetooth headsets. With this phone people don't hear me good with my Nokia headsets. So can anyone suggest me a headset that works perfectly with the One?
Plantronics Voyager Legend. I've had many BT headsets, and this one is the best by far. I can stand 2 feet away from a running diesel engine, and the person on the other end asks me why I'm shouting. The noise cancellation is just unbelievable with this thing.

How about this Bluetooth Headset for mobile phones.

That site doesn't help. I know where to buy bluetooth headsets and I know that generally all are compatible with the phone. What I would like to know is from users that use bluetooth headsets if they have to suggest a specific bluetooth headset that they use and know that it doesn't make noise to them or to the others that they talk with.
take this with a grain of salt as I don't use the phone feature that much.
my old LG hbs-700 worked very well, great sound and good phone reception as well, I received or placed phones while in gym, biking, etc.
I know there is a newer version featuring apt-x as well, you might wanna search for reviews on this.
since then I moved to on-ear headsets, I really like this telme2 headset I bought a couple of months earlier, good sound again, very rich, apt-x, no lag streaming audio from tv; I have also used mostly to receive calls, no complaints here, the phone reception is OK on both ends.
I also own the sennheiser mm 400-X, I have used very little for calls, but seems to do the job OK. however this latter device it's much more expensive, imo too expensive to justify its features..

I use Teamspeak about 75% of my day over my Plantronics HM-7000 never ran into many issues . On constant on use you get about 4-5 hours out it because I use voice activation method
