Need a BT headset for my BB...

I had four of them.
1) Motorla HS820: Mediocre, didn't like the sound quality so much, and it died on me. Flimsy.

2) Sony-Ericsson HBH35: Too large, not comfortable, sharp annoying sound. Died.

3) Logitech Mobile Pro: I liked that one the most. Very comfortable, excellent sound quality, sturdy. Cons are size, and a boom type mic. The unit is quite solid, but the size makes it vulnerable compared to other units. If you put it in your pocket, it will eventually smash. It's a unit I'd certainly NOT get were I to walk around with it.
Eventually, I broke it. But it's cheap, functions very well and I'd probably get it again. But then, I got this -

4) Jabra JX10: Supposed to be an "elite" model, but I dunno... I like the design, size, charging by USB and comfort, I don't like the sound quality so much (annoying hiss at first, now I got used to it. It's also a joke at high volume, the speaker is cracking).
It also does some weird ****** when paired with my phone (Sony Ericsson T610) - sometimes it losses sync altogether, and suffers from a long delay between the call initiation and when you actually hear something. I can attribute some of it to the phone itself, though, lots of BT bugs.
But it's a high quality unit.

However, I usually use the headset as a car handsfree, so size doesn't matter too much to me. When the Jabra is gone to a better world, I'd probably get that Logitech again.
 
I've only used low end BT headsets but I'll give my impressions:

1. Plantronics Explorer 320 - nice sound quality but flimsy. Ear piece has uncontrollable flop in it now (swivels uncontrolably). Doesn't affect performance, but annoying. Uncomfortable after extended period of time, which I would say for me is about 30 minutes. Intuitive to operate with the button.

2. Cardo Scala 500 - Hard to put on the ear. Terrible sound quality (from people on the other end complaining of static). Phsyically big. I found this one hard to operate with the buttons.

How's the sound quality for the JX10 on the other end? Can people hear you clearly and with enough volume?
