So this is a poll I guess...lol...

I am looking to get my very first bluetooth headset and was looking at a couple headsets today and am trying to whittle it down from these:

IOGear GBE201W7
Motorola HS820
Logitech Mobile Freedom
Motorola H500
Motorola HS805

Can you tell what my price range is? haha...

So...Which one do you have/recommend?


Thanks guys!

I'm using the Motorola HS850 with my 7290. Works great. I purchased mine from www.tigerdirect.com. At that time they had a special for $39.

I'm using the jabra bt250 ive used the hs850 and the hs 820......I would recommend looking at the cardo scala 500. I broke it in a drunken stooper one night but I will be getting another one here in a couple days.

I had the Jabra and threw it in the river. I since went to the Plantronic 640 and love it. I have to keep the volume on it's lowest setting (it's too loud). People i talk with report they can here me perfect and it fits my ear great all day with no pain or discomfort.
I recommend looking at the Plantronics.
I also recommend reading the other thread which discusses this in detail and also contains others reviews.

Thanks! I will definately do that. I appreciate the feedback.


:D

I have a Jabra BT500 and a Moto HS820. Both are fine with my 7100i, but I love the Jabra. It's loud, light, and is very clear on both ends.

As for the BT250v vs my BT500, I would throw it in the river also. I tried one for about an hour and it was terrible. The earpiece is too long on the top, kinda heavy, and lots of static.

I have the Tekkeon BT3000 w/ OLED caller id display. $86.00 from shop4tech.com using a coupon code found on the net. Nice feel and great sound.

I have a Flamingo. I love it. I know that it is not the most popular headset, but I have been very happy with it. I wear sunglasses or glasses when I am at my computer, and the Flamingo doesn't get in my way.

Hs500

I have the HS820 and the Logitech Mobile Freedom. The Mobile Freedom has a high pitched squeal on the receiving party's end so the HS820 is my recommendation. No one has complained about the HS820's sound quality and it's extremely small and light. I have a 7105t on the Hong Kong 4.1 OS. BTW if anyone can help me with my Mobile Freedom problem I'd really appreciate it.

I have the Motorola HS-810, but I don't like it because I have trouble hearing most of the time. Maybe it's because I have big ears, and it doesn't sit in my ear canal. So I'm going to invest in a Jabra BT500 - I've heard alot of good reviews. And it has the interchangeable covers.

I use the plantronics voyager 510. Sounds great! Got it for a good price at smartphonedepot.com.

I have a jabra BTV250. This is my third Jabra under the first one's warranty. They kept developing cracks in the housing which led me to believe the guts were all going to fall out. A common problem I hear. Instead of fixing the defect (or feature, I am sure they would call it) they just kept sending me new ones. They work well, but sounds like the Motorolas are more durable.

I use a Plantronics 640 with my 7130e. I am very happy with sound quality, fit and features. I ordered a Mini-USB adaptor for $9.95 and can charge it from the Blackberry charger or a USB port with the blackberry data cable.

I bought a Motorola H500 from ebay, just received it today. I like it so far, my first bluetooth anything so I dont know what to complain about. Only thing I noticed is when i take an incoming call, the volume is low at first then it kicks in. Fits comfortably on my ear and is hidden under my hair, so people think i'm talking to myself lol

You will soon find out that we are looked at as a sad lot, either talking to ourselves or little kids pointing to their moms and saying look Ma he is talking to the calculator.

Hi ... I also have the Plantronics 640 ... what did you have to order to charge it with the BB charger or the USB cable? Did you use one of the adaptors that came with the headset?

Thanks.

I am using the Oakley RazrWires with the Moto BT - on my 7520 - It sounded great! Perfect audio no issues, now that i switched to the 7100i - It is ok other then the further you get from the handset the more static you recieve - sounds good up close a few feet away - everyone I talk to say that it sounds good on thier end. Plus they are the most stylin BT out there..

I have use the moto hs805 (give it a 8). The fit was okay but it was very noisy out side. I have a jabra bt110 (give a 6). Its cool. More of the fit that I like in the ear but it cuts off after every use. You really have to answer on the phone and then turn the bt on. Both of those run on batteries (AAA). That I loved about both. You just change the battery when it dies and keep going. I now use a moto hs850 (it a 10). I is very clear. The distance is good and the comfort is great. The decision is really going to be personal one and everybody is going to have different feeling about every bt out there.
Thats just my $.02

i have the exact same set-up - mine has been working great for the past 2 months.

I've had a couple of Jabra BT headsets (can't remember the model numbers) and I didn't really like the way they felt, plus I wear glasses, and most BT headsets interfered with the earhook. Plus they were pretty heavy after a while. In my search for a more comforatble BT headset, I ran across the Nextlink line:
http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...ductId=2151353
It's light and the battery lasts forever. In addition, it charges off of USB. I had the original AX then upgraded to the AX2. I would add this to the list of headsets that you are considering.

The supplied adaptors won't do it. I ordered part #70393-01 from SKC Communications at 800-882-7779. It looks likes the supplied adaptors but is powered by mini-USB. Attaches to the bottom of the holder.

Thanks .... while I was searching for your adapter, I found something else interesting that might work. It's a Motorola Y-adapter for the Razr phone that has a mini-USB on one side and the other side is a reg Motorola connector, which we have an adapter for from Plantronics. Hopefully, it will work.

Thanks again.

I have used a Motorola HS810 and HS850 with 7100t and HS850 with 7130e with no problems other than both headsets stopped working after about 6 months of use. The HS850 worked well with the 7130e and did not cause it to reboot. The 7100t had a volume problem when using bluetooth headsets. The 7130e dosen't suffer that problem but as others have noted it does reboot with some headsets. I currently use a Jabra BT500 which I think I like better than the HS850 but it has caused my 7130e to reboot occasionally. Hoping the next Verizon software release will fix the problem.

Well, I like the way the 820 connects with my 7100g (Cingular), but the volume is *way* too low for me....

I use a HBH-200 Sony Ericsson

Pretty Nice it has a builtin caller id.
And you can scroll through your calllog and return calls

Sony Ericsson HBH-662. The bluetooth connection works well,but the volume is too low.

What do you do at night ?

I have been using a jabra 250 with my moto v710 and now with my 7130e with no complaints.

Thanks so much guys for all your great feedback. I did a lot of comparison shopping and a lot of reading and I decided to go with the Motorola HS820 .

I went to this website, Mobileburn and read up on it and decided that it would be the best for me. I also found a buddy who has the same one and he loves it too. So, I decided to purchase that one.

I did a pricegrabber on it and found it for less than $30 shipped. It was hard to pass up.

SO... when it comes in the mail, i'll try it out and post my final word. Hopefully this experience will be better than my bellagio case experience with blackberryden.com.

Check out that thread...

you've heard it from others. I like the Motorola HS810, mostly because of the design (I like the boom), but it works great with my 7100t.

Surprizingly enough the design allows for the sunglasses to sit ontop of my head and the earpeice will still fit into my ear (not a tight fit light when they are on your nose - but the piece is loud enough that it makes no difference.

Really you would be surprized on how well they work - though they do get weird stares in a semi-professional job when you have sunglasses on top of your head all day no one really minds where I work though

I think I'll give them a try then.

The Motorola HS820 I got is awesome! Super clear, tons of features, great reception, good distance... I am very hapy with my sub $30 purchase!

I just wanted to thank you all for your opinions and suggestions, I really appreciated it!

I just got an HS820 as well. From Nb_mitch.

Clear as day, I love it

I originally was doing the 7100i with the
Motorola HS810(worked nice), than i lost it.
Now i am overdoing it real strong with the
Motorola HS850... needed it bad.

Im new to the community, I just bought a Jabra JX10 about a week ago. So far Im happy with the design but I don't have too much experience with many BT headsets. Works great IMO.

I have tried several..... I completely hated Plantronics....

I am now using Nxzen which has many nice features but people have difficulty with the quality when communicating with me.

The best I have used is the basic Motorola.

I bought a cheap one on eBay and it's worked out well so far.
