The Mrs has just got a new phone, now she wants a bluetooth headset to go with it.
Anyone had any good / bad experiences with them.
Makes models to recommend or not?
May also look at the car kit route.

Cheers

Sony erricson's are good

[Big Rod]

I'd go with that. I've got the bluetooth car kit which interogates the phone book etc. It's great.

[supermop]

I dono about good ones, but I do know cheap ones are bad mmkay?

Very bad.

Id go for a headset thats the same make of the phone......ie Nokia phone....get a nokia headset.....carnt go much wrong then.

Ive seen other peeps with probs mixing headsets and phones........bluetooth is suppose to be a standard, but i reckon some manufactures have slight variations and sometimes slightly uncompatable

I've used a Jabra for a couple of years now with both Nokia and Sony Errikson phones and it's been quite good. The person at the other end can even hear me quite clearly in the Imp with it's loud exhaust

or just use the phone in the omega ccrt700 hands free.....

Personally dont care much for mobiles and bluetooth ( who by the way was a Druid in civil-war torn Norway, many many moons ago,  he brought all the warring factions together via word of mouth to chill and be friends.... )

hence bluetooth  

...or was it Denmark :-?

Are these the Borg thingies you are on about.

You will have to dress in black and say WE ARE BORG!!!!

I use the Jabra at work and in the car, the unit is smaller than some others fits behind the ear and after a while you forget the units is there, the mike only extends just past the ear, so if your other half has longish hair the unit will not  be seen.

i have been using a Jabra 250 for the last few months, brilliant headset but just started to notice a fault with my phone it seems to keep dropping the bluetooth as if its out of range. (fone is a ROKR from moto)starting to get on my nerves a bit

I seem to remember the word nokia had a similar explanation for the oridginal name can anyone enlighten?

[MartinP]

I've used a Motorola as hands free with both my Sony Ericssons without many issues, voice dialling worked really well  

[Jimbob]

Picked up a Jabra BT135 for £19.99 at carphonewarehouse.
very small and light, will see how she gets on with it.
will let you know how it goes.

I got a dirt cheapo Plantronics headset from ASDA. Used it with two Nokia phones and a Motorola. Works a treat. Only problem is the charger has a different connector to the phones (although Nokia's would charge from headset charger, other way round wouldn't work)

My best advice from experience of this and a Nokia headset (Mrs Ghost has one, and won't let me use it!) is to get the same make as your phone and make sure the charger is the same and if you have a car charger for the phone, that it charges the headset also.

OEM Phone branded ones are much more expensive though!

I did have a Nokia CARK91 car kit in the car, you could buy a bluetooth adapter cradle for it to work with other phones, but when you add up the cost of this and the leads you need to get it to work in an Omega, its much better to get a headset that you can transfer between cars. Or buy a TomTom with BT handsfree.

I don't know about that, but they used to make tires, wellies too I think.  Sold that off as Nokian, turned their warehouse radio network into Nokia.  No BS.
