Good Bluetooth Headset

DavidB · 09-30-08, 09:35

What Bluetooth headset are you using? I had a Jabra that worked great for about 18 months, then died. I made the mistake of replacing it with a high end Plantronics that sucks! I'm wondering what headsets others are using that have really clear sound, good volume and a comfortable fit.

I have the newer jawbone 2. Found it for about $80 last month. You will want to get the jabra minigels, that way you can wear it without the loop over the ear.

So far I like it. Wind noise is very much reduced from what others tell me. I think I would buy it again.

I like the look. Is it comfortable with the Jabra Minigels? To me they always feel like they are going to fall out without the ear loop.

I guess it depends on how active you are. If I am moving around alot, at times it can feel like it wants to fall out. So I just give it a quick tweek. Sitting at a desk, it is fine.

Motorola H690

Not the best fitting. But it works well and not overly obvious. I used to make
fun of people talking into the air like an lunatic...

Me, too, but now it seems to be the norm, just like PDAs, iPods and all of the other communication and personal entertainment widgets.

Jawbone II for me.....love it and people say it is entirely quiet when I'm talking to them while driving.

Same here.

Great feedback, guys. I guess I will send this Plantronics POS back and try a Jawbone II

I have an original Jawbone and am looking to replace it with a Jawbone II. My Jawbone has worked well, even at airports with planes throttling up.

I have heard many good things about this piece. And it's not that expensive either.
