What is a good brand for a bluetooth?
 

Im looking to buy a new bluetooth headset and was wondering what is a good brand or just a good device to buy.
please help me out, thanks everyone!
you guys never seem to let me down with feedback.

Re: What is a good brand for a bluetooth?
 

I'll go for it:

Jawbone is #1 IMHO $150
Plantronics 920! I sale those often $150

Re: What is a good brand for a bluetooth?
 

thank you im thinkin about getting a Plantronics 920

Re: What is a good brand for a bluetooth?
 

The correct answer is "it depends". It depends on what you want and what you're willing to pay. Just about every laptop on the market has wifi, a descent hard drive, and a good amount of memory. Bluetooth and webcam are the only ones that are a bit harder to find. But still, there are tons of options. Do you want to game on it? Get an Alienware. Affordable laptop? Perhaps a Dell or an HP. I personally wouldn't recommend a Mac. They're overpriced.

thank you

Re: What is a good brand for a bluetooth?
 

You're welcome

Re: What is a good brand for a bluetooth?
 

it was posted before, it depends. i have a moto h710, one of the best i've used and very comfortable. i also have the plantronics 975 and it's great but uncomfortable.

Re: What is a good brand for a bluetooth?
 

I have the Jawbone 2 and I hate it. Its uncomfortbale, and the sound quality is very tinny. Its also hard to get the volume just right... its either to loud or to soft. I have even tried using the jabra ear gels on it, but it still isnt comfortable.
I have been eyeing the new Plantronics units though.

Re: What is a good brand for a bluetooth?
 

The PPCGeeks News has reviewed a couple that we really like. We've done different brands and different styles.

The biggest difference is the styles.

Terry recently reviewed the Jawbone Prime: http://www.ppcgeeks.com/2009/11/30/j...eadset-review/

He also did the Plantronics 975: http://www.ppcgeeks.com/2009/11/16/r...discovery-975/

I tend to like the ear hook and long battery life, so I did the Voyager PRO: http://www.ppcgeeks.com/2009/11/10/p...s-voyager-pro/

All of those are great headsets with different styles. I believe they're all considered higher-end headsets.

CNet had a ranking of the top 10 headsets according to them, and I believe all 3 of those were on there.

Re: What is a good brand for a bluetooth?
 

The biggest thing I didnt like about the jawbone 2 was the sharp edges it had on the back of the earpiece. Where the plastic curves around to the back there is two sharp corners, and they dig into my ear.
I read the review of the Plantronics 975, and now I am thinking I want that one.. LOL. It looks quite comfortable.

Re: What is a good brand for a bluetooth?
 

it is if you choose the right gel piece that goes in your ear. the call quality is amazing, but you have to get used to a couple things, one is you have to hold the side button for about 2-3 seconds to launch voice command. but if you hold it 4 seconds, it turns off. once you get used to that, you're cooking with oil!

Re: What is a good brand for a bluetooth?
 

Dr. 8820,
Thanks for the tip. I rarely use voice command, as most voice command apps have trouble recognizing my southern accent :disgust:
Is it easy to grab up and stick in your eat when the phone rings? Most of the time, I keep my headset in my trucks dash pocket, and when I get a call, I stick it in my ear quickly and take the call. The jabra ear gels for the jawbone were comfortable, but they made it hard to quickly stick the headset in your ear.

Re: What is a good brand for a bluetooth?
 

yes, it's really easy to answer calls but you hold the button for about 2 seconds to do it. i'm used to my moto 710 where you just had to tap the button, but the 975 isn't bad, just takes getting used to!

Re: What is a good brand for a bluetooth?
 

I love Plantronics. I had the (1x) 945 Discover, (2x) 955 Discovery, (1x) 925 Discovery - all of which I lost. But I loved them. Great products, felt good in the ear, minimal, stylish, high quality. I'm planning on getting the new 975 Discovery. Looks awesome!

Re: What is a good brand for a bluetooth?
 

thank you mindfrost. so is the Plantronics Voyager PRO a good headset? I like the hook around the ear style myself.

Re: What is a good brand for a bluetooth?
 

I like it. Its a combination of the ear hook and a gel that goes into your ear. Its a bit bulky, but that's because it gives you about 6 hours of talk time. My only other complaint is that it comes with a pinhole charger, so you can't use a micro or mini USB like we do with our phones.

Other than that, its pretty comfortable, loud, and the callers have all said I sounded clear.

Re: What is a good brand for a bluetooth?
 

so you mean the charger is like the head phone jack?
how much did you pay for it?

Re: What is a good brand for a bluetooth?
 

Look up motorola s9, great for listening to stereo music from your phone as well as talking. I love man had them for almost 2 years. I'm sure theyve updated them someway or another.

Re: What is a good brand for a bluetooth?
 

Kind of, but not that big. Its just not a miniUSB or microUSB, its a proprietary plug.

I just used a review model, I haven't bought one yet.

Re: What is a good brand for a bluetooth?
 

despite some early fights with the volume buttons, my s9's have held up great! 2yrs and still going strong. although I will say the mic is not the best in noisy environments, but atleast you can hear the phone ring and quickly send the audio back to the phone. (also standard 5pin mini-usb charger)

I had the voyager 510 and it was the best at the time for noise cancellation. it's downfall was that the wires for the mic are not designed for more than ~500 deg rotation. lol, mine broke and ended up breaking the casing trying to 'fix'

btw, plantronics was the first in space.

Re: What is a good brand for a bluetooth?
 

I've had the Moto S9's for a while now and I love them for listening to music, especially while jogging or working out, but you can't use them in the car, which is also where I use headsets. In the car you want one that just covers one ear.

Re: What is a good brand for a bluetooth?
 

well, I where them with the earbuds popped out of my head. I've been pulled over many times, and only one co. sheriff 2days away from retirement asked me, "those things on your ears for talking on the phone?" this was after I knew i wasn't getting a ticket. (van in ditch)

I'm pretty sure as long as your not doing this :headbang: while driving, you'll be fine. (again background noise may be an issue depending on which tin can you drive)
I can't imagine any prosecutor or judge caring about a measly 2-ear violation, especially since your supposedly being 'safer'.

(btw, I just wish the s9 had vibrate ring)

Re: What is a good brand for a bluetooth?
 

I'm using a Moto h710, most comfortable one out there...

Re: What is a good brand for a bluetooth?
 

i have that one also, extremely comfortable.

Re: What is a good brand for a bluetooth?
 

Hi.
Mate i am using techom's bluetooth from last 5 years and its still working fine without any problem.

Re: What is a good brand for a bluetooth?
 

a major bummer with plantronics 975, you can't use it with 2 phones! the moto h710 does it with no problems, the 975 only connects with one and that's it! wth!

Re: What is a good brand for a bluetooth?
 

I have the Jawbone Prime!! Excellent! Two phones sync simultaneously!!

Re: What is a good brand for a bluetooth?
 

Motorola Razr S9 blue tooth I swear by them.
Low profile stereo and now HD bass switching.
they perfect the phone hands free solution.music stops and starts for calls

Re: What is a good brand for a bluetooth?
 

Thanks ,i will see it

Re: What is a good brand for a bluetooth?
 

if your on a budget. jabra makes some that might fits your needs.. i have one just for when im driving.. dont wear it in public,lol but for driving just incase my wife calls it works just fine..

Re: What is a good brand for a bluetooth?
 

Jawbone FTW

Re: What is a good brand for a bluetooth?
 

Jawbone prime is the newest version, which supports window mobile officially.

BlueAnt Q1 is another one, two thumbs up.:headbang:

Re: What is a good brand for a bluetooth?
 

i've had good luck with good ol' jabra, first the one you could change the colors in the plate and now the bt8010. both headphones and single headset.

Re: What is a good brand for a bluetooth?
 

I have a Motorola headset but I never had a sound problem. But the Jabra BT160 might be a good choice because I have a male friend that has one and he loves it.\\:D/

Re: What is a good brand for a bluetooth?
 

I know many, including myself, have mentioned the jawbone or plantronics discovery 925....

I have to say the plantronics 925 IMHO is the most comfortable, light weight and actually clearest compared to the jawbone that I've ever used. I love it and wouldn't trade it for any other blue tooth in the world. :)

Re: What is a good brand for a bluetooth?
 

Plantronics. I've had several of their discovery series. Great sound, comfortable and they just plain work.

Re: What is a good brand for a bluetooth?
 

I picked up the Bluetrek Crescendo Bluetooth headset that I wrote a news article on last week and so far I like it better than anything that I have had to date. It is very small and lightweight, has very good battery life, a lot of cool features and was less than $80 shipped.

Re: What is a good brand for a bluetooth?
 

Thanks rainfreak for bringing that up. I did see the article and finally left you a comment! I may just try that one when I get into buying another one. :)

Re: What is a good brand for a bluetooth?
 

i use the blueant q1...works really good for me personally. good battery life as well...too bad can't say the on my tp2 when both are in use...LOL.
