Thumbs up Re: Opinions - Best BT Headset - Jabra BT8040!!!

ok...i want to chime in on what i feel is the best (so far) BT headset for the moveul/titan. and in my opinion it's the Jabra BT8040. my BT headset experience is as follows: jabra 250v, plantronics 510, plantronics 520 & 521, motorola S9, jawbone 2 (didn't own, but used), and jabra bt8040. my MIP (most important points) in a BT headset are call/reception quality, range, comfort, volume, size, and A2DP.

i listen to a lot of lectures and streaming audio from my mogul so i definitely needed A2DP, which knocks out a lot of otherwise fine devices (ie jawbone, 520, etc.). the motorola s9 had become my daily BT device, replacing the plantronics 520. it has great sound quality, but can be shaky with its connection and also the call quality can be iffy at times. my other gripe with the moto s9 is that it rubs the skin on the back of my neck/hairline and irritates my skin...causing hair bumps (not good). so its not for daily use...although there is NOTHING better at the gym or when engage in strenuous activity.

so the search was on to find a BT headset that has what i look for most, does them well, and is in one ear or doesn't rub against my neck when going to the other ear. enter the jabra bt8040. it excels in all of MIP's that i look for in a BT headset. the most surprising things are its size, connection strength, and volume. it took awhile for me to get used to the eargel format of wearing it...but with trial & error, i don't even realize its on me until its in use. this is an all-day wearing headset. works great with the mogul, using wm6.1 official rom. i beleive the a2dp profile could be a reason why the quality and connection are so good.

i highly recommend the BT8040 to anyone looking for a BT headset with excellent call qualities, small size, extra comfortable, and with a2dp.

paid $59.99 @ BB
