Bluetooth Headsets for Cell Phones

[ballmode]

If you had $50 or less to spend on a blue tooth ear thingy... what would you guys recommend?

samsung wep200

my jabra jtb[sic] 500 is nice.

Motorola HS850.

Of course I am biased becuase I am trying to sell one that I have. Brand new in box original retail packaged, never opened. $30 shipped if you want it.

Just spend a little bit more and get a Jabra.

Mine is $10 cheaper! Same thing and you'll probably get it faster 🙂

i know its hard to believe, but some people do use them for something other than jewelry. Its too bad though that that is mainly what they have become.

Jabra blows, all the models I've tried are intrusive and uncomfortable with how it curls around the ear. I love my Plantronics 640 and everyone I suggested it said they love it too.

I like my palm headset but then again I bought it mostly to reduce the number of chargers I carry on business trips.

Now if you really want to see some "jewelry" headsets, check out the Motorola H700. Treocentral did a review of it. Scary.

Nokia BH800 seems the best. Many user reviews pit it higher than the jabra, motorolas or wep200. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16875975020

I have that. It's very nice.

I spoke to someone not long ago (worked in Adobe's wireless group, said she had used a million different headsets) and she said that they're all pretty much the same. Look for things like comfort and accessories.

i bought this thing i-tech r35 that allows you to plug in any 3.5mm headphones. It will have stereo output if a2dp is supported by your phones, otherwise you need to use their music player.

it's great for golf, but it doesnt' deal with wind well.

I'd be marking this for my own use but it looks like there is no concensus.

get one that run on 3A battery. my bt headset is still running on the battery I put in 1 week+ ago

 

[Indolent]

what about a stereo bluetooth headset? anyone have any good recommendations for those? particularly for running or working out.

If I had $50 to put into a bluetooth headset, I'd put it back in the bank and invest in something else. I don't want to walk around with a large cockroach on my ear, thank you very much.
