I have read umpteen reviews of various brands of headsets on Amazon and Treo Central, but am still not sure which one to go with.
It seems there is no clear, heads above the rest, bluetooth headset for the Treo 650, although the Palm headset is consistently regarded highly.
So lemme hear it! Do you use one of these? What kind of phone do you have? What are the pros/cons of your bluetooth headset?? What did you pay?
Check out the new motorola hs 700. SMal, better battery, excellent acoustics. Not reviewed yet, but I have had mine for about tewo weeks. Hands down the best BT HS for me yet
If you have around $150 I'd take a look at the Jabra JX10. It's supposed to be the granddaddy of all Bluetooth headsets. It's only 10 grams, has 6 hours talk time and 200 hours standby, supports Bluetooth 1.2 and it also has a neat voice dial feature that lets you answer and end calls with your voice. Check it out.
I found the Motorola HS850 on ebay for $53 including shipping. I had seen this one at Radio Shack and other online stores for $80-$100, so I thought this was a great deal.
However, I was well disappointed, as the MAX volume on this thing was too low. This made the headset unusable outside, in a car, or with the slightest background noise. Also, I really did not like the fit on my ear. I ended up sending the HS850 back for a full refund.
However, these are common complaints with alot of BT headsets, as I soon discovered via online reviews.
Honestly, I wasn't willing to spend more than $50 on a BT headset, as I probably would not end up using very often. I really wanted to try this for my own knowledge, as I support a plethora of mobile devices at work.
These devices are more suited towards lawyers and sales people, or any one who spends half their day on a mobile phone.

Not really. I'm neither of those and don't spend all of my time on the phone. However, when I want to make or take a call while driving, a Bluetooth headset with voice dialing is very convenient.
I have the Logitech Mobile Freedom headset (the small black one) and generally like it. The sound has been decent, I can't complain about the battery life (but I don't call for hours on it) and it has their wind noise reduction system. It does get uncomfortable after a while, but I suspect most headsets would. The biggest annoyance is that ringtones don't play through the headset; you just get the headset's stock ring (but that may be true with other headsets; I don't know).
If you look around you can find them for under $50. I bought my wife one for $40 at Fry's Electronics, and I think CompUSA was selling them for $20 after rebate on Black Friday.
