I bought a newly released Plantronics stereo bluetooth headset called the Voyager 855 and it's a great convertible headset, as the package provides an extra ear bud if you want to listen to music in stereo. They are also selling this headset as the Voyager 815 for less money without the extra (stereo) ear bud. This headset is really small, but has decent volume. I like the ear bud design (three size options), as it makes a seal in the ear canal to block outside noises. It has numerous other features you can see here http://www.plantronics.com/north_ame...57/prod5880002.

Crap, now I gotta get one

Seriously, I have had the best results with Plantronics (Discovery 640, 655) and their products, so I'd have confidence in the 855, and the stereo earbud would be tres' cool

Yes I have the Motorola S9 and I'm using it with My XV-6700 and PS3 and it works like a charm... And thank God I got the latest radio firmware for my XV-6700 and now I can enjoy stereo sound using my Motorola S9.

Well I did it I bought a new Headset. Bought the Plantronics Pulsar 590a. I love it. It is very very big. I look like a DJ. Bought one for me and one for wife. I have PPC 6700 she has Q. Works awesome with both of them. I was listening to music upsatairs in my room. paired to my ph left my phone in the room walked down stairs and made a sandwich and didnt get a tiny bit of static. Very Happy!!!!!!

i recently took up a plantronics 520. great signal. decent noise supression. couldnt beat the price.. on sale early xmas i guess.. at radio shack. only problem i have is when i wear a jacket and my phone is covered i loose a bit of signal. but, for the size.. its pretty standard, im not one for big and flashy, its awsome.

has anyone used the blueant z9 they have a video similar to the one the jawbone has but this headset is much smaller just wondering how well it works and which of the 2 is really the best cause if there equal i would go with the blueant just because of its size

It greatly depends on the phone its paired with, never mind what they reviewed. All in all its better than anything else out there IMHO, especially answering calls in stereo, it doesn't get much better. Plus if they can't hear you just slide out the boom mic and voila!

So far the M620 is the best phone- hell device; I've paired it with, music wise. I'll have to see about the 6800 later this week.

I guess I'm gonna buy a Plantronics 855 from BestBuyBusiness.com looks like its run by best buy and easy to return stuff. It's actually $37 cheaper then their regular bestbuy.com website (I have a gift card from there) so it'll only cost me $3.

My girlfriend has an S9 and I didn't like how hard it was to put on/take off, but I only tried it once, I was never a fan of behind the ear so..., Oh Well we shall see how it works
