My $0.02... Stay away from the Motorola headsets that don't actually
stick INTO your ear, or any headset that doesn't actually go into your
ear. Why? Air. There's air between the speaker and your ear. Noise
gets in there. When I tried one, if I was anywhere other than in a
quiet room, I couldn't hear anything unless I mashed the headset into
my ear.
What's worked great since then? Jabra BT250v. The BT250 is good too.
Great battery life, pairable with up to 8 devices, and just works.
