Have had two Jabra headsets over the past few years and have always been
delighted with them (BT250)

Recently had to buy another headset and went for a Jabra again, this
time a BT2020.

What a surprise, unlike the other Jabras this is woeful. It is only
supplied with minigels (rather than standard size), the volume is far
too low even on maximum and callers often tell me my speech is breaking
up and missing bits.

Can anyone recommend a decent bluetooth headset (sub £30 if possible)
that provides a decent sound level and is reliable?

To be used with a Nokia 6300 if that matters.

TIA

Headsets are rubbish and there's only one place they're acceptable to
use - in the car.

In which case, you're as well getting something like this:

I have something similar that I use in the company car so I can use my
personal phone as well as having the company phone in the wired kit.

Quite agree.

A couple of my work colleagues have these, probably not that particular
make though. As a caller, I hear my own words coming back to me and it
is really distracting. I think as my words come out of their speaker I
hear them again through the device. Other people have told them too but
the driver is unaware that there is a problem.
