Ok..
I have a Motorola Bluetooth headset (H350 I think). It came with my phone when I upgraded. I've used it a couple of times, but everyone that I've talked to told me that it sounded like I was talking in a tunnel.

I have a ear piece that plugs in my phone, but that little headphone piece hurts my ear.
I've looked at Jawbone, but holy mackeral! They are proud of them.
What is something that I can use, that isnt too expensive, and has good clear sound? What do yall use?

I use a Blue Ant x3 Micro...when I have a phone that works...
:tears:...why can't I find a decent phone???. When I use it, I've never had anyone say that they cannot hear me clearly. I really like it. :banana2:

(pardon me...but I had to use the smileys....I just had too...)

eta: I think it was like $80 or $90 or something like that

I use the Tracker BT noise canceling boom mic, it was 59.99 at a truck stop. Works great and is really comfartable.

I use a Blue Parrot. It is the pod and boom style that has the band that goes over your head and no peices to hang on your ears or go in your ears. It is also wireless blue tooth. It is noise canceling and it works great. People say I sound better on the head set then I do without it. It also has volume control etc and you can turn it up to the point of blowing your ear drums out if you really wanted to.

Stand by time is easily over a week and I have gone for days without having to charge it even though I use it all the time.

The only down fall about blue tooth anything is that when the devise is connected to the phone it drains the phones battery in a day or less.

I was thinking of going to a wired one to save on the battery time on my phone.

i did a price grabber (http://www.pricegrabber.com/search_getoffers.php?keyword=00607972025248&search=VXI%20BlueParrott%20202524%20Roadwarrior%20 B250) for the blue parrot for you JR, only 2 resellers listed.

i also did one for the jawbone (http://electronics.pricegrabber.com/cell-phone-headsets/jawbone/p/369/form_keyword=jawbone/topcat_id=2/st=query/rd=1) notice the two different headsets. the jawbone 2 is newer, but not as good (IMHO) as the original. 2 has issues with touchy controls and low volume levels.

Thanks.
I may see if I can sweet talk Santa into bringing me a Blue Parrot.
I like the looks of the Blue Parrot. Seems like it would be more comfortable than the regular Motorola earpiece.
