which model? how is it? notice Jabra are slightly more ex than other ..

 

I've found their prices about the same. Unless you're talking about their upper spec models (which have even more features). I'm using the BT2070, and have found that the entire BT20XX series is around the $50 mark. I would definitely recommend the 2070 to anyone.

 

I'm thinking of getting the Jabra Stone for its looks though [:p] For noise canceling, you may want to try the JX10 or BT530, and for comfort the BT5020 (I used the previous version of this for 4 years before the battery kicked the bucket and I lost the eargel thingy shortly after).

I'm a believer in built-in sets. Parrot's good:

Ping Liang carries some of these models

 

Advantages

1) don't look like a droid from Star Trek

2) Radio (albeit low powered) not next to brain

3) Turns on and pairs automatically with your phone once you start the car

4) Sets with display allow you to see caller ID and even sync and dial from phonebook without picking up the mobile

 

Disadvantages

1) Pricier

2) Installed into car, not portable

 

Seriously though - DON'T walk around with an activated bluetooth set on your ear, for whatever reason, unless you are actually making a call. It stopped looking cool about 6 months after bluetooth headsets were invented... [laugh]

I have owned a number of BT headsets in the past - Nokia, SE, Samsung, Jabra, Plantronic, etc. Most of them are only so-so except for Jabra and Plantronic. I would rate these two brands as among the best in the market. Am currently using a Plantronic set and it is very good. I get only those with DSP (digital sound processor) that cut off unwanted noise. Plantronic is good as it gives you 2-year warranty. AFAIF, no other brand of BT give you this sort of warranty. Peace of mind for 2 years.

i read some reviews that jabra sound abit soft.. any good reviews abt plantronics?

 

Perhaps its because their start-up volume is low, and it defaults to that whenever you turn it on. I usually just increase the volume by 1 or 2 clicks and its all good. Plantronics makes good BT headsets too, but IMHO they don't have nice looking designs.

 

Don't mind me, coz i'm just infatuated by the jabra stone [laugh]

Not surprising since they both specialise in headsets be it bluetooth or corded [:p]

I have been using Sonyericsson BT headset for many years. Very Durable! Battery life very good! Left it on for few days when I was oversea; came back battery still not flat.

 

Dropped few times and once even drop inside water but still working! [blush]

 

I think the model is HB 701 something like tat.

I got something similar, from Sony Ericsson. One MCF bro highly recommended it. I bought the HCB120 at the last IT show for $96. Very good battery life, good voice clarity.

 

BTW, which Parrot model did you get and how much? I just checked out their website. Impressive range they got.

Jawbone, Jabra and Plantronics [thumbsup]

 

Using Jabra BT8040 for years. Drop so many times and into puddles of water too. So far so good.

 

Considering Jawbone now. But that model has the earloop which I hate cos not comfortable when wearing glasses. Anyone using Jawbone can give FR?

also saw a sennheiser set, but that is $380.00, so too expensive for me, ok, maybe next month or later ... but the moto is good for now.
