I wish I could recommend the BT8010's without a doubt. I did buy them twice - the first time, the BT8010 fell into a toilet and I was unwilling to fish it out. On the bright side, I've now got double the accessories so I can play music at home or at work without lugging hardware around.
It's great to have a high quality headset with an LCD, that also plays great stereo music. You can make a call using the LCD without talking or pulling out your phone. I have no complaints about that.
The problem is that periodically - the BT8010's will switch from headset to stereo mode even though the phone is locked to one or the other. From that point on - ALL sound is broadcast to the headset whether you want it to or not. The updated firmware helps, but I've found that the only definite solution is to disconnect and reconnect the pairing with the phone when this happens.
Jabra is aware of the issue - they've had many calls. But they haven't come up with a solution that I know of. The button that switches between the two settings is temporary until a new sound is emitted by the phone.
If it weren't for this annoyance, the BT8010's would be the best hands-down. Good sound quality, good noise reduction, great LCD (though it's easy to scratch) - and the ability to go from a mono to stereo headset by attaching the second speaker.
