Default pick my bluetooth headset!

so im in the market for a bluetooth headset, seems i lost my old one... me and really tiny things dont mix well.

so anyways, im in the market for a brand spanking new headset and i just dont want any old headset, i want the best.

so heres what i want to know SPT'ers. which headset are you using? why are you using it? whats the mic like on picking up background noise? hows it feel (mostly weight wise) and how long does it hold a charge?

my last headsets were all motorola so if anyone is using anything else id love to head from you

I'm using a Bluespoon AX. It's a pretty good all around headset. The biggest problem I have with it, is that it's a little difficult to put in your ear. If you're driving along and the phone rings, it's not an easy task to grab the headset and put it in your ear before the call goes to voice mail.

I've been thinking of replacing it with something that would "hook" on in an easier fashion.

I use 2. The Jabra JX10 and the 250v. The JX10 has the best quality both ways and I can barely feel it on my ear. I have to keep checking to see if its there. The only negative is it doesn't feel secure on your ear. The 250v which is also quite comfortable doesn't have as good sound quality.

I use the Jabra BT200... mainly because it was one of only 3 real choices back when I got mine and it was the smallest/cheapest ratio option. Shortly after I saw them using Jabra's on the TV show "Alias" and felt very cool.

Sound (what I hear) quality is "ok" up to 15-20 feet away. Everyone (who has ever commented on it at least) thinks I'm calling from my home phone, so apparently the mic works really well.

It's generally quite comfortable, although when it's been on my ear for extended periods (say, 30-45 minutes) in the car it's time to switch ears or take it off (it gets kinda sore -- apparently I need to look into the JX10 from what Jerry wrote).

The JX10 is definitely more comfortable. Just not as secure feeling.

hm, ill look into the jx10. the bt200-250 headsets are two big for me. i just feel wrong putting something that big on my ears

its the 21st century, we should have these as brain implants already but seing as how were slacking a few years i think im gonna go wth something tiny like the new motorola h700 or the jabra jx10.

if anyone else knows of any tiny headsets with great sound quality let me know!

I'll only go for the brain implant if I can still have the blinking blue light outside someplace. :mrgreen:

Now if it could blink in alternating colors I might have to have one. :lol:
