Need stereo BT headphone recommendation

[Black06STI]

I just got the Plantronics Voyager 855 and I love it!!! I have tested it with a Mogul (new rom update), Apache with WM6 Cooked rom, and my Sony Vaio laptop. The multipoint works very well, as I am able to listen to music through my laptop's bluetooth port and have the phone ring and take the call. It also works while on a phone call listening to music on the phone. You simply slide the boom back and forth to start and end the call. Microsoft Voice Command works well once I disabled the confirmations. My girlfriend was not able to tell I was on a Headset. The music quality is great. I carried a conversation in the snow today and it has no problems. It wont come loose especially if you wear the loop thing that goes over the ear. The buds that came attached out of the box were soo comfortable, Much more comfortable than my girlfriend's S9 (which she uses daily to work out).

Hope this helps

@ Josh

Just to clarify, are you saying that the Plantronics Voyager 855 works well with the Mogul? (Cuz you mentioned you also have an Apache.)

sorry guys, im used to receiving email confirmation on a thread which I didn't enable.... yes to clarify, my main device is a mogul, I use it everyday in the car no problems, sure outside when the wind is blowng in the mic ur gonna hear wind... with my phone with no headset you hear wind... the music part of it... is very good which says a lot out of an audiophiles mouth... as far as headsets I've ownd.... I ownd the motorolas hs 810 and 820 (or was it the 510 and 520) and this is waaay better im happy with the purchase... if u guys are on the fence buy one at best buy keep ur receipt test it ou for 2 weeks if u like it then order online and when t comes in bring the headset back to worst buy that's what I wouldve done if I had not received a gift card and for those with bby gift cards check out bestbuybusiness.comjosh

I use them with the 6800, agreed.

I have a Nxgen 5500 which worked great in places like noisy NYC streets, but a recent fall into a puddle has totally ruined it. I'd like to replace it with a stereo headset but so far all have relatively poor call quality and the 8010 is way too geeky looking for me. I'm using my old Cardo 700 now, but it's useless in anything noisier than a car with the windows rolled up.

The 855 is as good as its going to get for a Voice/A2DP headset.

I use them with the 6800/2.17 ROM (I applied a few BT registry hacks before purchase & the Audiopara.csv, FA2K) & I must say is great.
Can't comment on if any of my hacks enhanced anything.

No one can tell you're on a headset when speaking and you can hear the caller without problems, especially is your using A2DP/ the other earbud.

Music, reviewers are usually mixed on this because it greatly depends on the phone/app you are using. Music is very good on these, not Shure/Ultimate ears good but good none the less, much thanks to Bluetooth 2.0 +EDR, thanks to EDR you don't get skipped to death when listening to music or distortion in the phone call, you can finally move away from the phone while on the headset/listening to music.

It does well in noisy environments via the boom mic BUT it fails against the wind. Have only used 1 headset that ever worked in the wind anyway (Z9's, which are pretty much fit for Chicago )


It also has up to 7 hours of talk time so it'll outlast the Mogul.
