What is Anandtech's favorite Bluetooth headset for 2010?

I am in the market for a new Bluetooth headset for my iPhone.

What say Anandtech?

Looking for a headset too. Except I will be looking for noise cancelling ones only.

There's this new one that's supposed to be annouced at CES very soon. It looks really cool and has some great features.

Are you looking for music listening also? (A2DP)
or just taking calls?

I have a Jawbone Prime that's great.

I pair it with my Droid.

Yeah that looks super hot. My two favorite are the Jawbone:

And the BlueAnt z9: (z9i now, I guess)

I am replacing an old Jawbone, so that is the front-runner right now.

This is certainly the kind of thing you have to at least check out at a B&M before buying.

I will say, I have a jawbone prime after losing my 2nd gen jawbone (the new jawbone i think it was called?). I have to say its MUCH better with reception, as well as clarity. loving it.

EDIT: just for reference, I used it with my verizon XV6800, now I use it with my nokia N900.

Did you get to open the box for the N900 like this?!?

Lol, unfortunately not. Still, I like the packaging of the N900 a lot

BlueAnt z9i. I got it and it picks up my voice a lot better than my old Motorola.

How is the ear piece? Is it loud? I need one that is like the loudest.
