Best Bluetooth Headset???

kgray

I looked for Bluetooth headsets and saw a few popular ones:

HS810
Jabra Freespeak

Does anyboy have any pros / cons for these?
The Jabra one looks smaller, and seems cheaper.

Has anybody had a good/bad experience with Jabra, or any of the others?
Is there another one I should consider?

my friend has the jabra and it works real good. the quality of the voice it great both sides. its bigger then the HS820. i have the new motorola hs820 the volume is a bit low but it sounds clear. although i've been told i sounded tinny on the receivers end. its real small and compact. very comfortable though.
hope that helps

FWIW, I prefer the HS800 over the Jabra BT200 (I have both) because the little blue eargel pops off the jabra all the time, not to mention it gets kind of gross over time since it sticks in your ear. It also requires more adjustment - every time I pocket the thing the blue eargel gets twisted around, so I can't put the headset on with one hand like I can with the HS800. Hope that helps.

Note I have the HS800, which is similar to the HS810, but the HS820 doesn't have the boom. AFAICT, though, the HS820 has the similar outside-of-ear design of the other MOT headsets, and not the rubber-thing-sticking-in-your-ear-canal of the Jabra series.

I also found the BT200 immensely painful after wearing it for awhile, and the HS800 somewhat less so...

just bought the jabra FS 250 and love it. To be honest I haven't even used it yet but have been wearing it around my apt all day. I know I'm a dork...

I bought this because a good friend of mine has it and swears by it. He's a total tech-geek and knows what he's talking about.

Although I haven't used it yet I can tell you it's by far the most comfortable i've tried on.

hs820 is the best headset on the market. it's the lightest, most comfortable, and has the best quality!

Jason - first off - thank you for the information - I think I will go with the Jabra.

Ok - now onto more important issues:
I know we are all excited for the phone - but am I understanding that you've been wearing a bluetooth headset (connected to nothing!) around your apartment ALL DAY!?!? I mean - I could understand trying it on for a few minutes - but wearing it all day? What have you been doing with it?

I think I am finally understanding the hype this thing has caused - WOW!

I have been using the Freespeak for about 5 months now. Overall I would rate is as an excellent buy. I currently use it with my T720 using the Jabra Bluetooth adapter. Here are a few specific comment's/Gripes:

Sound Quality - Can't complain, as long as you get the handset volume right the sound quality on your end is near perfect. From what I have been told from those I call they normally have no idea I am on a hands free.

Battery Life - he only gripe I can think of. The battery life tends to be a bit low. I work out of my car and use my cell phone alot, I average about 2 hours talk time on the headset. but since I will soon be able to pair the headset directly to the phone I can use the adapter solely as a charger (for some odd reason...
