I currently have the Motorola H700. It is truly a piece of shit. I need to get a new headset, as I tend to be on a lot of calls during my commute. The #1 requirement is sound quality on my end and the listener's end. #2 is that it needs to be comfortable. Otherwise it doesn't need a lot of bells and whistles. I've read some decent things about the Jawbone 2, but it is expensive with some drawbacks, but if the sound and comfort are far superior to anything else then so be it. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I still prefer the ety-com, wired headset

I'm concerned that the Etys might be a little too isolating while driving (I have a nasty commute).

It's just one ear, and it's far and away the best headset I've used. And my commute is 2 hrs.

hmm, ok, I'll put it on the short list then.

honestly man, i tried about a dozen different BT headsets....only to find that they are just not quite there yet. Some had their ups, some had their downs. NOTHING was even close to perfect. I settled with a corded headset.

If i had a gun to my head, the best one was the Jawbone. However, it did make everyone sound robitic.

Dom,

Aside from the robotic sound issue, how did you like the Jawbone? (v.2 is out now...)

I've got a new phone and am interested in an answer for this as well. It's purely for conversations, as I don't listen to music on the phone. SQ, comfort and battery life are important.

Australian law passed not long ago that talking on the phone while driving is only allowed with a headset.

So far I'm not impressed with the freeby that came with my phone.

How is the microphone?

i just saw this while looking at the ety-com

could be interesting.

Dom,

Its ok, its a tad big for my taste...looks like you have a huge slab of metal out of your ear. Its not very heavy, however its alot more heavy then most out there. Some people like the little piece that rests on your jawbone (hence the name) I didnt really, sometimes i like to go a few days without shaving and the little piece would rub my facial hair, which itched to me. Most dont notice it, im just being picky.

The Blue Ant Z9i or Z9 is a great headset. Very small, light and comfortable. I would highly recommend it.

dc - That looks sweet, not that pricey either all things considered.

My secretary really wants to be able to listen to movies and music from her Sprint EVO through a bluetooth earpiece. I guess her current one cannot deal with those stereo outputs, even though it works for the phone function. I looked at the Ety.com and their big clunky wireless one, but are there any other options she should consider?

Nothing helpful among all of us?

I struggle with this question too Al. If only Kleer had contributed something decent for this application (with a built-in HQ mic).

Al, both Sennheiser and Audio Technica (to name a couple) make them but they are cumbersome and expensive.

Sennheiser USA - ew 300 IEM G3, wireless stereo systems, stereo transmitter, stereo receiver - Professional Audio

Audio-Technica - Microphones, headphones, wireless microphone systems, noise-cancelling headphones & more

Stumbled across a popular solution today, the motorola S9-HD. There have been a few reports that make it seems as if it may have problems streaming high bitrates without some skipping and reviewers say it has not so great mic quality.

Thanks Scott, but she got the ETY.com and likes it a lot so far. She only wants one ear piece for some reason, and she liked the sound and the mic quality. Thanks for the recco, Dan.

I personally think she made a better choice with that Al, glad it worked out.
