My wife wants to use a bluetooth headset with her BlackJack II. I found the Motorola H350 at Fry's for $17.99. Is there anything cheaper/better? She wants one that is rechargeble and last's at least 4-6 hours. What do you guys suggest?

I suggest she spare the innocent and stay off the phone while she's driving.

Get a car setup. It's awesome and way better than a BT. Plus you dont look a giant douchebag walking around w/ a BT headset in your ear all the itme

Listen guys....my wife isn't going to walk around all the time talking on this damn thing. It's mainly on the way and from work....

There is no need for me to spend $50+ on a BT headset or $200 for a car setup.....

Is the H350 decent or no?

I got a Plantronics 'something' 320, which was $40 here (rip-off land a.k.a. Canada). You should be able to score a Voyager 520/620/whatever for less than $50, which I hear is pretty good.

Honestly, if it's just for use in a car, anything that pairs with your phone should work. No need to filter out background noise or whatnot, which is actually incredibly useful. So if you can afford it, just get a Jawbone and be done with it. Maybe your wife will like it enough to use it 24/7 and avoid the brain cancers.

Just be careful, cheap headsets indeed suck at filtering out noise, and make it difficult for the person on the receiving end to hear if theres any significant background noise; in a car that would be radio/open windows/fans/ricer engine.

I use a Plantronics 510, alot of the quality has to do with the phone over the Bluetooth.

i have a motorola something or other...i've tried 2 different motorola models and this one is the better one, but even then it's not loud enough. The h680 is the one i returned. that was a piece of shit. the one i kept is a h555.

i only use it when driving.

No, it's total crap. The Plantronics 360 is decent, and you can get it for under $30 at newegg.

The BlueAnt Supertooth light is a car setup that works very well, and can be had for $55 at Amazon.

I hate wearing blue tooth, so refrain from making or taking calls when in the car. But then again, my cell phone does not run my life as it does for so many others.
