What bluetooth headset to buy?

I went to best buy to spend some of my gift certificate money and only saw a few headsets.

I have a cingular 8125 phone and i was wondering if a motorola headset would work with this phone? there was another brand, phontronics or something, are they any good.
The phonetronics brand simply stayed in your ear as support, there was nothing to go around your ear to secure it, seems stupid to me.

I dont have a budget really, i just want some that will be clear and my callers can hear me well.

thanks,
BIG

i have used quite a few headsets, Motorola HS820, HS850, H700(currently using), Nokia HS36W, BH900. The one thing you need to keep in mind is battery life, microphone and earpiece quality. HS850 i found to be loudest. HS36W has the clearest out of all of them no hiss or anything, but it looks too plain. BH900 has the best microphone, people on the other end cannot tell you are on bluetooth, because usually they sound distance. hope this helps

Well,
I dont care about looks at all. I want my callers to hear me as clear as possible. From the past two headsets i have used i hear them fine on either, sometimes there is a little static or they are too quiet but i can live with that.

Any other opinions?

The Plantronics 510, BlueSpoon AX2 and Jabra JX10 (I've no experience with this one) seem to be the bluetooth headsets that get the most positive reviews, both from in/out caller quality, as well as phone interoperability.

After that, there's a plethora of both good/bad reviews on most every headset. Personally, I've also had good results with a Plantronics 645 and Nokia BH-801. My current choice is the BlueSpoon AX2 or Plantronics 510.

I would first watch/search the bluetooth forum and the HTC forum for users with your same phone, and then see what headsets they are using with success.

HTH.
