Jawbone

My latest Bluetooth headset Jawbone

This one is pretty darn good, with new noise cancelling tech.
My mom didn’t know I was driving my car (which is usually very obvious because my car makes a lot of noise at 60 mph).
Unfortunately, I’m told that I sound metalic or robotic.

It does a pretty good job of staying on ear. However, even with 4 different ear buds, none of them fit me “well”. Wearing the default/smallest one still causes my ear to hurt after 1+ hours.
The over-the-ear part is spring loaded so it helps hold it in place, but it is contoured for right/left so you can’t easily swap ears. You have to swap clips.

The button to answer is rather hard to push. The volume button is in a strange place, and it cycles through instead of having an up/down.

Seems my phone has developed an annoying buzz when I answer. I don’t hear it, but the people who call me say “ouch” when I pick up because its rather loud.

The charger uses a non-standard connection so it can’t be shared with other mini-usb devices.

Motorola H670

This headset was ok, but shortly after putting it on my ear, it would shake loose.
It would end up very far from my ear drum so I couldn’t hear very well.
Returned this one.

Motorola H700

So, the Logitech was crackling/crunching so much I decided to get a different BT headset. I wanted the 820, but no one had it in stock. I grabbed the H700 from a Cingular kiosk at Alderwood mall. Works much better. I heard a little crackling/crunching, but MUCH less than the Logitech.

It uses a standard mini-usb connector which is great, so I can charge it with the same cable as my phone. The Logitech had some silly custom connector.

I’m still looking for a set that has the features I’m missing though.

Logitech Mobile Freedom Bluetooth Headset

So, the Logitech Mobile Freedom Bluetooth Headset came highly recommended, but was sold out when it came time for me to buy a headset. I checked Logitech’s web site and decided on the Logitech Mobile Traveller Bluetooth Headset but so far I’m not impressed.

Issues:
1. Can’t play music – I guess it needs to be a stereo headset
2. Doesn’t play the custom songs I’ve picked for my contacts – probably same as #1
3. Hurts my ear – I know it needs to be tight to stay on my ear, but shit.
4. I’m wondering if there’s a better way to “move” it when not in use (so I can hear from that ear). I’ve been hanging it on my shirt, but its slow to put onto my ear so I’ve missed at least 1 call so far. I can just hold it to my ear, but then its not hands-free!!
5. Crunching noises – not sure if thats this heatset or my phone (been having audio problems with my phone before getting the headset), but nearly all of my conversations have a lot of crunching noises over the people’s voices.
6. Can’t seem to record new voice tags with it.
7. When the phone is “on but the display is off”, pushing the multifunction button on the headset (which normally initiates the voice dialer) does nothing. I shouldn’t have to take out the phone and “turn it on” to make a call.

So, based on those, anyone have any recommendations? I’m gonna stop by the T-Mobile store (since I’m a t-mobile customer) and see what they have. Try out another one to see if i still hear the crunching noise or not.
