Which Bluetooth headset do you use?
Do you like it, would you recommend it?
I just tried out the SoundID SM-100 and was throughly disappointed after reading some rave reviews. I have tried the Z9 and thought it was decent though it could still get better and have also tried out some other cheapos.
Looking for some suggestions...

I got a Jabra BT800. Its not bad. Worked well when I bought it many years ago. I like the 2 line display on it and that I have it synced with a few phones of mine. Though, now I'm told every so often that it echos a lot by the person on the other side.

I have a Plantronics M2500. My problem is that I don't use it enough and frequently it is out of battery. The pairing of Treo650 is also very problematic.
I have in car BT kits such as Nokia CK-1A, Sony/Ericsson HCB-30 and Parrot DriveBlue. I think the Nokia is the best and Parrot the worst.

I've tried too many to count!
And wasted a lot of money. They either are not clear, not consistent, or the battery begins to degrade quickly. I got a Jawbone well over a year ago, and it has been the best I have tried. The one issue I have with it is that the little rubber "strip" that fits on the earclip is kind of weird - loose, does not stay tight, etc. However, that is a minor inconvienence given how well the unit works, and I have been on day-long airport treks, and never once has the unit gone completely discharged. In fact, the only time that I discharged the battery was when I forgot the charger and used it 3 days! ^

I've got an Aliph Jawbone and I LOVE it! Clear, loud sound, very comfortable, and my callers can hear me perfectly because of the very effective noise-canceling. Not to mention . . . it looks really cool!

I've been very happy with my Motorola H700. I don't like wearing mine on my ear when I'm not using it, and the H700 is exceedingly easy to turn on and off - just flip out the microphone and it turns on. I hate fumbling to hold down button A for three seconds to turn on while trying to beat the call going to voicemail, or leaving the thing on in my pocket and accidentally hitting the button to make / answer calls.

More Jawbone kudos
