Default Bluetooth headset

Please Login to Remove!

I have used my Jabra Jx10 for about a month now and absolutely hated. I have read alot of good reviews about it, but its just not for me. It didn't fit me well, it wasnt loud enough, and i got alot of static if the phone was more than 3 feet away from head set. Well it went through the wash, so Im looking for something that is loud. I don't care about looks or what style it is. Any suggestions?

I use the Motorola h700, it works pretty good, calls come in clear with no static.

Try the jawbone headset. I do a lot of driving and always had issues with background noise. Their claims seemed too good to be true, but I took the plunge anyway. I have to tell you that their claims are all true. It has been the best bluetooth headset I've ever owned.

I've been using this $50 Plantronics earpiece for several months and am very happy with it. Good balance, comfortable and no complaints about noise or poor fidelity on the other end. It works well with the 8100 too.

I have tried alot and $ for $ the bluespoon ax2 I have been using for about 3 months is great - it fits very snug and doesnt move in the ear and has good stand-by and talk time , and its small I love it seeing all these people using these huge bluetooth headsets they look at mine and just kind of all of a sudden get a look like damn why do I have this huge earpiece - granted its cheap but believe me it works great. You can get them on ebay for like 20$

I'm very happy with the Motorola H800. It even supports dialing. And yesterday I discovered that during a call I can turn the headset on and the Blackberry will automatically connect and start using the headset for that call. Sweet.

I will second the Plantronics Voyager™ 510 - awesome battery life, nice noice reduction, and you can wear it all day. I also prefer the "in-the-ear" design over the "on-top-of-ear" designs.

I also use and am satisfied with the Voyager 510.

But the Jawbone sure looks interesting...

Default Go with the Blackberry HS655

I had a Motorola, Jabra and after being fed up with them, I spent the extra $$ and got the Plantronics - Blackberry HS655 - no problems at all plus, it works with the same charger as your phone. I think I paid $79 online but well worth it.

Will the Jawbone activate the voice dialing while the BB (pearl) is in the holster (standby mode)
Thanks
