What Hands-free bluetooth do you prefer?

**durwood** · 12-27-2006, 04:14 PM

OK, after I left my old motorola Bluetooth earpiece in my jeans and it got washed, I recieved two...yes two bluetooth earpieces for Christmas. Both Motorolas, one was a H300, the other a H350. I prefer the one with a rechargeable battery, however I might return both of them and get an entirely different brand.

I remember my older Motorola (flip out boom mic maybe HS800?) had echo problems with the volume turned up. What brands/models do you have experience with? I am looking for one with good noise rejection/echo cancelation.

Any recommendations?

I do not use BlueTooth... No problem with a wired ear piece... much less money

Ya but there are times when I am working on something that a wired cord would get in the way. That's an advantage of bluetooth. I hate having my phone in my pocket when I am trying to work on my car or do stuff around the house.

When I am driving its a necessity.
1) Chicago requires handsfree or I get a ticket
2) Try talking on the phone and driving stick.

I do it all the time, even though I might get a ticket for not using hands free set. Its really not that hard to shift and talk on the phone at the sametime.

hahaha ya well I do it all the time too...and sometimes eat as well. That's where the knees comes into play. I decided...well the gf decided that it's safer if I get a handsfree headset.

I have a jabra BT250v, jabra should be one of the best brands on the market right now when it comes to bt earpieces....

cost: €79 (approx $100) but worth every penny/cent

edit: mine was €59/$80. The $100 one had longer standby-time (mine is already 11days according the manual, but I'm walking around with it for almost two months, only recharged the battery once and it wasn't even empty)

I use a Plantronics Explorer 320... I bought it on ebay for like $25 shipped. BT 1.2 and it's great!!!

Heres one for ya:
I drive a stick, and about 4 weeks ago I switched from Verizon to Sprint for cell service....in the process, I had Verizon replace my phone beacuse it was defective.....I was on the phone with a Verizon cust. service rep with my Sprint phone, while messing around with my Verizon phone.....and driving the car....do I get an award?

Back on topic, I use a Bluespoon AX2. I work at a Radioshack and always try out the headsets ect...I bought it on Ebay (cause we sold it for twice as much) and I love it....Now its like $40 on clearance...check it out and give it a shot. Its light as hell, user replaceable battery (li-ion button cell) and it has good volume.
