I'm shopping for an over the ear Bluetooth headset for my fiancee's Blackberry Curve 3G. She is rather petite and has smaller ears than average. I didn't think this to be an issue until I saw a review for the Plantronics Voyager Pro that said it is very loose on people with small ears.

Anyone have any first hand experience? Of course sound performance and battery life (minimum 2 hours, more strongly preferred) are important. She will mostly be using it in the car, which is kind of loud when driving at highway speeds.

I'm looking mainly at Plantronics as I and others I know have had good experiences with them, but I'm open to other brands. The Voyager 510 seems like it comes well recommended, even over newer models, but seems to only be a single mic which would be a disadvantage.

Also, I'm guessing it would be best to buy this locally somewhere? I normally buy from Amazon, but if she needs to return it then a website purchase would be less than ideal.

I have the 510, and I imagine if the voyager pro is reviewed as too lose then I expect the 510 to be the exact same or worse. It's quite a large unit you have dangling from your ear, and while it doesn't bother me I know a lot of people would have a problem with the weight long term. It also has a rather large ear piece that doesn't really fit inside the ear canal like I'd prefer, more of just tries to rest on the ear like ipod earbuds. It comes with 3 different sized earpieces, but I'm pretty sure I'm using the smallest one and it still doesn't seem right.

I like the volume, the sound, and the battery life but I highly doubt the fit will be right with her unfortunately.
