Best brand for BT headset?

smileyman · 12-29-2008, 09:52 PM

There's reviews all over the place for all the different headsets, but I can't seem to find 1 page that has a majority of the headsets out there. Making it very hard to compare reviews. Whats the best brand for a BT headset? I'm just talking about being able to hear the other person clearly and being able to be heard clearly.

Any other features can be found with the different models. I'm new to BT, and need to know who makes the best ones. Any help would be appreciated

I have always been a huge Jabra fan. I know have the BT 530 which is the best headset I have ever owned in terms of comfort, noise canceling, sound quality (both ways)

Thanks for the response... From some reviews I've read, Jabra seems to have good sound quality, both ways. Except a couple of reviews say that on the 530 model, incoming sound seems low. You notice this at all?

Honestly I have only noticed it slightly low on a very few calls. For the most part it has been great. Keep in mind the iphone does not have great audio output to either headsets or it's own speakers. My wife also has the Jabra 530 on her new Blackberry Storm. It is so damn load you need to turn the headset volume down.

I had good experience with Plantronics . If you are worried about low sound, Plantronics is the way to go . I own the Voyager 510 and happy with it .
Operation is a bit inconvenient, especially on/off but I believe it is improved in the new Voyager model .

Regardless, make sure the headset you are about to buy is compliant with iPhones . No all are .
