Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Verizon / December 2005Bluetooth Headsets
My wife and I are looking at getting Bluetooth headsets for our VX 8100s. Need suggestions on same. Would like to keep price below US$80. These are just two requirements. Above mentioned price. Behind ear and over ear are both acceptable.  SignatureAndrew D. Sisson Motorola H700 -- excellent is all aspects. You can find it for about $80 (malcomwireless.com is one such source). > My wife and I are looking at getting Bluetooth headsets for our VX 8100s. > Need suggestions on same.

I went through 3 of them and gave up. Also, I did not like the flashing blue light on it. No way to turn it off and it looks pretty silly for an adult to go to work with a "blue light special" thing blinking in his ear!

The nice part was the fold open/close boom piece, but the earpiece felt flimsy and made me think it would fall off my ear any second. I just got a Nokia 6256i which came with a Free $80 value, Jabra BT 13 Bluetooth Headset and I luv it. I am a truck driver and have trye about 5 different headsets and the BT130 is the only one that ha enough volume and clearity with all the noises in a big truck. /Users/Clay/Desktop/driver.gif Quick Wrote: > > My wife and I are looking at getting Bluetooth headsets > > for our VX 8100s.

DSP (digital signal processing) which makes it the best sounding headset I have tried yet. So far, I've tried: H300 H700 HS805 HS820 H500 and my choice still is the Jabra JX10. Moto's just plain out suck for some reason. > What does the Jabra JX10 provide over the Motorola H700? > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >>> Above mentioned price. >>> Behind ear and over ear are both acceptable. > Hands down the Jabra JX10 is the best I've used.

OK, I got an H700 MoTo for Christmas and so far it sucks. Won't stay paired, pain to pair it and audio on both ends is poor (scratchy and sounds in my ear like it is under water). It goes back and the search goes on. Sometimes I wonder if Bluetooth was released about 2 years too soon... JohnS > Sometimes I wonder if Bluetooth was released about 2 years too >soon...

Tried Moto HS850/820/and Jabra BTV 250 and they all had problems. Moto not loud enough. Jabra, horridly uncomfortable and stupid looking. Cardo Scala? Great unit... Eyeglass mount sucks for wireframe glasses though, but otherwise, very loud and it works fine. > Tried Moto HS850/820/and Jabra BTV 250 and they all had problems. > Moto not loud enough. That's very, very odd. I have an HS850 and *very* bad hearing, and my headset is plenty loud enough for me even in noisy environments.

I have an HS850 and *very* bad hearing, and my >headset is plenty loud enough for me even in noisy environments. I just got an H500. I find that it is not loud enough to hear over road noise at highway speeds. Also, despite being light enough to almost not know it's there, after an hour it absolutely kills my ear. I do have rather sensitive ears, so it's entirely possible that there is no BT headset out there that I can wear. My other gripe with it is that the 30 meter range drops to less than 3 when my body is in that space. I mean, I know 30 meters is line of sight, but down to 1/10th of that??? Specifically, with the headset on my left ear (the right can't stand it for more than 2 minutes) and the phone clipped to my right pants pocket, the audio gets very staticky in both directions. OTOH, I cannot say that it has an echo.

It's smaller and lighter than the previous MOTO BT headsets that I've had (810 and 820) and sounds just as good. It does appear to not have as much 'pickup power' though as I can only get about 10-20 feet range from my E815 and I could get 30+ with the others. I've had trouble in the past with OTHER COMPANY BT headsets staying paired with the V710/E815, but no problem with the motos.. What phone are you using it with? >> OK, I got an H700 MoTo for Christmas and so far it sucks.

Waiting for an RMA from malcomwireless.com. Don't yet know what I am going to get, if anything. JohnS |
