    Bluetooth headset recommendations

    I want to buy a headset as I'm getting annoyed with my wired one. I'm on the phone around 2 hours a day so I want something with half decent battery life (the other reason I want a bluetooth headset, I'm probably frying my brain the ammount I use my phone).

    Money isn't really a problem seeing as all the headsets seem under £100.

    And I don't want something that looks like I've strapped a space ship on my head

    Also something nice a loud would be good as often some of those two hours are while I'm walking across the center of brum.

    Cheers

    Things may have changed, but I'm never getting a Nokia one again. My HB660 is really uncomfortable, and keeps on falling apart making me almost crash my car. I've heard good things about the Jabra headset's, but I think they may be a bit too space-age for you

    I've got a Jabra BT800. It has a wee screen on it, so you can make calls directly from it, and also displays the incoming telephone number, which is good.

    Battery life seems fine, I've never run out, but I charge it every few days. It's about 50 GPB from all the usual suspects.

    I've got a slightly Cheaper Jabra (Model Escapes me) and it seems alright, apart from it randomly disconnects from my phone, and makes me have to take the battery out of the phone before I'll reconnect.


    I used to think it was just my 6822 causing trouble, but I had a 6310i for a week and that did it as well.

    I've got the Logitech below:



    I use it for IMing in Yahoo and MSN. For music it's not good, but very very good for mobiles. It has the latest Bluetooth std (v1.2), and has "windstop" - cuts down on surrounding noise (apparently). Has good reviews consistently, and is fairly small. Review here:

    Saw it for under £30 recently online, which is not bad considering it's one of the better ones.

    Very good reviews for this so probably worth a look...
