Default Recommended Bluetooth Headset?

I need to get a headset for my phone, Wizard 8125. I have a lot of car and road noise when driving, so it needs to be a potent device, but I'd rather not look like Lobot.


Thanks,

lol. agree. Nice to hear from another HTC user. I have the HTC Tytn.

Plantronics 600 series headsets are great!! Sound quality, battery life, comfort.

I have had Motorolas and they don't hold a candle stick to any of the 600 series headsets.

I have a 640 and love it.

http://www.plantronics.com/north_ame...057/cat5420035

Some history and interesting info regarding Plantronics:

Originally designed for use by airline pilots as an alternative to the bulky headphones of the day, the lightweight design soon caught the eye of NASA. Beginning with the final two Mercury flights, Plantronics headsets were used exclusively by the crews of the Gemini and Apollo programs, including all the lunar missions, as well as on the ground by mission controllers.

Other mission-critical customers soon took note. In the mid '60s, the Federal Aviation Agency selected Plantronics as the sole supplier of headsets for air traffic controllers, a privilege Plantronics still holds today. And in a critical milestone for the company, Plantronics was soon selected to supply headsets to the operators of the Bell Telephone company.

I have the Aliph Jawbone. It's very nice and slick. Works great but not as great as they claim.

I have this little guy...



The Bluespoon AX2 from Nextlink. It's about the smallest thing out there. It fits in your ear instead of hanging off your ear. It's very comfortable. Sound quality is good - not great. It does well with road/wind noise. I paid $80 for about a year and a half ago.

FORGET the headsets look at the Motorola T305 Bluetooth speaker. Its clips to the visor and works far far better than a headset.It comes with a car charger, so it never has to leave the car.

Why do people wear those things walking around? Driving, I can see because some jurisdictions demand hands-free devices while driving. But walking around? I wish I could pull out a stun gun and make fools pee their pants.

Because it looks stupid and for some reason makes me extremely pissed off. Like I said, I wish I could stun-gun the bastards.

I can probably surmise that the people who are so lazy that they can't open up a phone and hold it to their ear and have to have a headset on all day long are the same people who are too goddamned lazy to use their indicators while driving.

Hitler wore a bluetooth earpiece, bitches.

Most people wearing those walking around remind me of the "poser moble" commercials.

The only thing that bugs me about them is it makes people look like they're talking to themselves. And now this....

I have the Plantronics Voyager 510 Bluetooth Headset and it is a workhorse. I primarily use it in the car, and it fits snugly, so that when I turn my head to change lanes it doesn't wobble around like Motorola sets I have had in the past. The volume level is also great, and it is a piece of cake to sync it with my phone (Blackberry 8800).

It isn't the sexiest device, but I've been really happy with it so far. The only complaint I have is that the power button is really small, so it is sometimes hard to locate when I have it on my ear and am trying to turn it on so that it syncs with the phone.
