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

Keep in mind the 855 is an in-ear design, so if you don't like the rubber "plugs" inside your ear canals, you might not like the 855. I have an HT820, but only us it for music on the plane. I found the stereo sound better than the Plantronics.

I've had several mono BT headsets (I'm very picky about sound and comfort). Here are my thoughts on the hands free sets I've tried:

I just traded my Jawbone for a BlueAnt Z90. So far, this has been my all-time favorite hands free. I loved the sound with the Jawbone, but it was a little bulky and uncomfortable for my taste (it was bought to replace a lost Jabra JX-10). The BlueAnt is extremely small and light and, like the JX-10, can be worn VERY comfortably without the ear clip. I find it a huge step up from the JX-10 in sound and the noise suppression is almost as good as the Jawbone. Plus, it's much smaller than the Jawbone, so it's a big winner for me.

As for the HS-850, I had one for a long time. I had to have it replaced once because the rubber piece around the speaker fell off, then the same thing happened to the replacement. Sound quality was okay, but a horrible fit on the ear, IMO. There are many much better units out now.
