Opinions - Best BT Headset

dkincaid · #1 (**permalink**) 03-17-2008, 03:26 PM

So, I currently have a Jabra with the little gel-in-your-ear-because-you-have-gone-deaf-because-you-are-old BT headset.

I have been *hoping* that somewhere along the line with all of these new ROMs, the crackling and static I get with it would go away. However, it has not.

I would love to hear what kind of experience people are having with their headsets. I'd like one preferably that has a little gel in your ear thingy since I'm old and deaf as well as something that doesn't crackle!

Thanks!

I have a jawbone and it's been great for me. Especially with the A2DP fix. Sound is clear & crisp.

I've been using the Jabra BT8040 and it works great. I've tried the JX10 in the past and this is much more comfortable to wear once you get the correct sized ear bud. It comes with 3 different sizes.

I've been using the Jabra BT620, and I love it. It's a stereo headset though, not a bud.

I have to say the Jawbone is fantastic. The noise canceling feature is what really did it for me!

Jawbone is quite stellar!!

My dad fired up a cordless elec drill next to his head...I couldn't even hear him talk b/c the noise of the drill was deafening. He turn on the noise reduction feature...I couldn't even hear the drill at all. Just his voice...clear as day. Very weird, but impressive.

Is there a certain Jawbone model that is great? Or all of them are about the same?

The Jawbone rules. No more people saying "What?" or "You sound like you're in tunnel."

The company is Aliph and the Jawbone is the model.

i've been using a plantronics discover (witht eh gel in the ear thingy). so far it has been great. my favorite feature is the ability to charge it with a triple a battery.

I use a Motorola H700. It isn't the greatest, but it was cheap and works well. With no2chem's rom, I have almost no issues with static or crackling as long as it is a full battery.

It is however, good to note that it was horrible with previous ROMs [2.09 was un-usable]
