Best Bluetooth Headset for SE t68is r5d007 Firmware

[dolo]

I am going to get one, just want to make sure I get the best one for this phone.

You guys are the guru's. I have never gone wrong by following what has been posted here.

So I ask again.

Good/Bad reviews are all welcome.

I am looking at:
-Jabra Freespeak (around the ear boom ~$99 USD)
-Belkin Bluetooth Headset ($100 USD)

I would like to keep cost under $150.

Thanks guys.

Go for the Jabra. It's a great value-for-money combination. I spend a lot of time on the phone, while driving, and the Jabra has been nothing but great when it comes to quality of sound, convenience of wearing, styling, design and almost 0 "geek factor"

I use the Jabra with my R5D T68i, and I have to agree with the above poster, no problems at all. Works great!

I't not that big and it's very light. I wear it all day long at work and a lot of times I forget that it's on...

Spend the little extra and get yourself an HBH-30!

I had both and I kept the HBH-30. It is:

More comfortable to wear
Much! easier to put on with one hand
Better battery life
Loud and clear sound quality at the lowest setting
It's SE

I love it! Would never trade it for a Jabra or another BT headset.

It's personal preference... try them both and decide...

The Jabra is the best for me, I tried all of them, even the $300 bluespoon panther...

None of them fit better and stay on better than the jabra, and the jabra earpiece goes directly into the ear canal so it's the best sound... Plus it's like $70 on ebay, unbelieveable price!

jabra fits better but HBH30 is the performer

eh, again I have to disagree and say it's more individual performance... people have reported both ways jabra or hbh-30 being better reception, volume, clarity, etc...

I think the jabra sounds best because it fits inside your ear and blocks outside noise out... And the reception is amazing...

i wonder if i should clean my ears b4 i go out and try on all these headsets

damn..maybe my friend and I got bad units?
my unit just refused to pair to anything....

I find my jabra unit has choppiness...
if i move my head, the reception suffers and the sound quality is good but not as nice as the hbh30

Everyone has an opinion..I just posted mine and of course yours may vary but here is a review of the Jabra:
http://mobile.burn.com/review.jsp?Id=123

This guy is good, he's honest and the review is pretty good for the Jabra but he mentions exactly what I mentioned:

"A very important aspect of a headset is the ability to put it on and remove it quickly with one hand. This is one of the bigger problems with the Jabra Freespeak. It is harder to put on than many other headsets I have used."

With all respect, none of you Jabra people can argue that it's easier to put on than the HBH-30

Ya, but it takes me maybe 2 seconds to put on the Jabra and maybe 1 second for the HBH-30... But the Jabra stays on, so it's worth the extra 1 second of time for me

[mobilet68i]

That 1 second is crucial!

No but really, they're both great headsets I just think the HBH-30 is better for me. If you can try both of them side by side and pick the one that you like. There's also some posts around here that compare the two well. I also forgot another cool feature of the HBH-30:

It uses standard Ericsson chargers so you can use car charger for phone with it, etc. That's nice to have esp since Ericsson chargers are so dirt cheap.

I will definitely agree and say that if I could charge my Jabra in the car that would be nice... I wonder if they make a DC adapter for it? I've never really looked...

But ya, it's really personal taste, the best is to try them both... also try the bluespoon as many people LOVE that (although I hated it and the people on the other end of my conversation couldn't hear me, but I have a big head so there is a lot of distance between my ear and mouth! hehehe)
