It has been working very well since the original BT fix released by HTC in one of their early 2.xx rom updates (although it was still usable before then even and still never had a problem with range - just kinda so-so sound quality for the person I was talking to).

Ditto. too bad the 510 was poorly designed.. (mine broke, mic spun around the same direction too many times, and the wires broke.)

Range problems would probably be attributed to the radio (although I am not aware of any specific radio having BT range problems), while audio quality problems would probably be attributed to the BT stack built into the OS.

this seams like a good place/time to ask if anyone knows what the "microphone AGC" does? (agc=automatic gain control) I remember mscv saying it needs to be turned off, but I stopped using that app some time ago. I have not noticed any difference with it on or off, but does anybody KNOW?

good idea, unfortunately this doesn't seem to help, for me atleast.
I can re-create bt cutting out with my s9 by cupping the bottom part of the phone in my hands and placing between my legs (legs closed), but "if" i can pair doing this, the problem is the same. (i said "if" because sometimes it won't even see the headset, so no device is found.)
I think the 510 had more power (to boost the incomming signal) also when I ripped mine apart after the mic broke, I noticed that the antenna in it went from the bottom (by the power jack) to the top (where the flexing area is)
maybe someone can come up with a good mod to give the mogul a better bluetooth antenna.
