Blew-tooth

blueerica · 02-16-2011, 09:43 AM

Friends, I'm in need of a new bluetooth headset.

Any opinions out there on which is the best/best-bang-for-the-buck before I go out reading review after review?

Arigato!

I have had good luck with various Plantronics AND they are available at Costco so if it sucks you can return it without hassle.

But now I just plug phone into ShinyCar and it runs through the speakers/speaker phone.

So I suggest you buy a new car with integrated blew-teeth instead.

I agree there! Now that I've had the Ford Sync system, I'll never stick one of those annoying Blew-Teeth in my ear again!

I second the Plantronics. Specifically the Voyager Pro. It's comfortable, sounds good, does audio so you can listen to movies/songs, lasts for days....

I gave up on Jawbone, I could never get the things to fit well and each time I tried to adjust it I'd disconnect the call do to the entire thing being one large button.

Audio on Jawbone has been the best, but I also had trouble with fit and durability, so Plantronics has worked best for me

Another vote for the Ford Sync System.

That's fine but you get a lot of weird looks when you wear it into the grocery store.

Yeah, that is the one drawback. But I find that I don't use my phone much in the store, and when I do hands free is not all that important. The hasstle of carring the device around and keeping it charged is just not worth it for me.
