    Bluetooth headset / hands free kit?

    I haven't bought one of these for about six years, and the number of products on the market is huge. I'll be using it with a ZTE Blade / Orange San Francisco (Android 2.1) if that makes any difference. The main reason for getting it is so I can talk hands free in the house. I used to use speaker phone but this new phone doesn't work well for that. I can hear the person fine, but they struggle to hear me.

    Can anyone point me in the direction of a decent quality one for a non-crazy price, say £20-30?

    Thanks!

    I hear good things about the jawbone, and a quick google search says you can get the jawbone II for around £33

    supposed to be the DBs

    Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately I can't find the Jawbone 2 at that price. Someone else suggested the Plantronics Voyager 520, and having looked at reviews, it seems pretty decent and the price is reasonable, £25 from Amazon. Time will tell if it's actually any good for me

    The Plantronics Voyager 520 is extremely good value, and the battery lasts for a long time, and it does look pretty good compared to some of the dodgy ones you can buy for more money, like some of the Jabras. The sound quality is pretty good and blocks out most noise, and is very comfortable on the ear and I think it is one of the best Handsfree headsets out at the moment at an affordable price.
