This worked just long enough for me to throw away the receipt and the packaging. Now it will not turn on at all. The red light comes on for a couple of minutes when I try to charge it, but it won't do anything else. A quick search online shows that I'm not the only one having this problem.

Jabra C120 Stereo Earbuds - 2.5mm Review

Much to my surprise the ear buds are rather comfortable despite the fact that they look crazy. It took me a few tries to get it seated in my ear correctly but once I did it was much better than a standard ear bud. The sound quality is great, and because it sort of "funnels" the sound into your ear it made it really easy to drown out the sound of exercise equipment at the gym.
I wonder if they make a headset like this for iPhones as I no longer use my Blackberry that I purchased these for.

Plantronics Voyager 510Sl Voyager Bluetooth Headset System with Automatic Lifter and AC,DC Charger Review

Plantronics Voyager 510Sl Voyager Bluetooth Headset System with Automatic Lifter and AC,DC Charger
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I talk on a landline or on a Treo 650 all day from my home office. I've been using a Palm Treo headset for Treo calls, and my Treo wired headset for landline calls on a 5.8 Ghz Panasonic cordless phone, surrounded by 2.4 Ghz wireless internet signals. While this setup works, issues are (a) I am tethered to the desk (and often tangled and dropping the cordless handset), (b) switching headsets is a hassle (I did not try wearing both headsets on separate ears--too confusing and I want one ear available for the local environment), (c) landline callers often complain that they hear an "echo" of their voice on the Treo wired headset, (d) and the extra step of having to plug my Palm headset into its charger (and its lack of a low battery indicator) results in having to recharge it when I need to be using it.
My ideal solution would enable me to answer calls on either phone with a single headset, keeping my hands free for working on my computer, un-tether/untangle me so I can move around my office and home, and provide a convenient recharging stand for the headset (like the Jabra JX10). My functional priorities: (1) 2-way voice clarity, (2) wearing comfort and stability to stay on my ear, (3) range. Cool style/design is not a significant factor.
I stumbled on the Plantronics 510 headset, which has a seemingly unique "multi-point" technology enabling it to pair to two phones at the same time. On-line research revealed a seemingly well-designed desk phone adapter with an integrated a headset holder/charger. The value of the optional "handset lifter" was hard to assess without seeing it working. But the entire system is expensive ($399 list on the Plantronics site, $300 at other retailers), and it requires a wired desk phone--it's not compatible with a cordless, due to the way it connects to a wired handset. However, I know Plantronics is a manufacturer of serious office headset solutions, so I figure you get what you pay for. I read some reviews (few available, not even listed on the Treonauts site), found it on the web for $210, and ordered it to test it out.
Well, I've only been using it 3 days, but it is superb! I dusted off an old wired desk phone (keeping the cordless with programmed numbers to place calls), plugged everything together, paired to my Treo easily, kept all the default hear/talk volume settings, charged the headset - and started placing/answering calls -- flawlessly!
On talk quality, even my critical, hard-of-hearing friend had no complaints. On listen quality, I raised the hear volume switch on the base one notch, and now it's perfect. And the handset lifter is awesome! I dial the call on the cordless, then press the call button on the headset; the handset lifts and you hear the call going through; I hang up the cordless. Range-wise, I can walk upstairs to the kitchen to refill my coffee, step outside to greet the fedex man, and *almost* get the mail - which is about 70 feet from the base station! Conservatively it looks like I will get a good solid 30 feet, through walls, with no quality loss (though still only about 10 feet if I'm talking on the Treo). And a nice feature: if I *do* go out of range, a low tone indicates this--without dropping the call--and a high tone let's me know I am back in range and resumes the call!
To receive a call on either the Treo of the landline, I just touch the call button on the headset, which is conveniently centered on my ear. Once you set the listen volume to a good level, this is the only button you really need to touch, and it is easy to "find". And comfort-wise: VERY comfortable! The over-the-ear design keeps the headset feeling solidly in place; the smallest earpiece fits snugly in my ear, but absent is the pressure of other earpieces I've used (gels & 'hard' earbuds) . I can hardly feel its weight on my ear, and there is *no* pressure inside my ear; I can easily wear it all day. When I take it off, I stick it right into its holder/charge - so it's always charged up!
The packaging could use one very small improvement: the headset eartip guide could use some verbal description, to complement the diagrams, for selecting/fitting the right eartips, and for removing them from the headset as you try on the 3 different sizes.
I am a careful, discerning technology consumer, and am aware that the real proof of satisfaction comes after weeks of use--not hours or even days. I save all packaging to return a product that does not perform to expectations. I can tell you that I am already confident that the 510SL is a keeper! I will post updates to this initial review in a couple of weeks.

My boss one for each of us to go with our new phone system, and I couldn't be happier with it! The little mic just clips to your shirt, and I haven't gotten a single complaint from anyone calling in. The earpiece is comfortable, even to the point that I don't notice I'm wearing it! If I had to pick one con, it would have to be that the cord is rather short.

I had a hard time trying to find a compatible bluetooth earpiece for my phone (LG Rumor 2) and then I stumbled onto this one and thought I would give it a shot...and it works perfectly! This earpiece has a lot of functions to it so you may want to keep the manual that comes with it on hand. It may look simple, but if you're not adapted to using one of the more advanced bluetooth set like this one, you're going to miss out. Great product and it came FAAAAST! It did a cross country hike in less than 24 hours for me. =) The case that comes with it is very stylish and sturdy. Don't get that much with this kind of product....most come in your typical blister pack (*sigh*) or the boring box. Comes with adapter.

Jabra EarWave Boom with Universal 2.5mm connector Review

Jabra EarWave Boom with Universal 2.5mm connector
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Jabra makes, by far the best hands-free devices on the market. The EarWave Boom is a good model that will satisfy 90% of people who need hands-free functionality for their cell phones.
Jabra has gotten away from the full molded ear gels for this model. I personally prefer them to the mini ear gels, but this unit fits fine in your ear with the ear wrap-around. It's comfortable and works fine.
As for the hands-free jack on your phone, you have to make sure you have a 2.5 millimeter jack. That is the one with 2 stripes on the plug. Calling this "Universal" is a little bit of an overstatement, but with a little research you can verify which model fits your phone. Unfortunately, a specific compatibility list is hard to come by. Look at the specs for your phone and give it a try.
The microphone will capture sound just fine. For those who experience a lot of interference or muffling, I recommend you try the version with "Noise Cancelling." It's about $7 more but for certain models of phone the difference can be worth it.
The Jabra EarWrap has a slightly better wraparound attachment and a slightly longer arm. For those who don't like the microphone arm, the Jabra EarWave Bud doesn't have a microphone arm, but instead has the small mic on the cable with a clip to attach it to your tie or shirt. Personally I don't like those models.
I have not found much difference in sound quality between the different Jabra models. The differences are mainly in comfort, style, and ease of use. This product is decently priced, but I think it could be more affordable.
Try other higher end models if you are more demanding, like I am, and are willing to spend the money. This is a pretty good model though, definitely enough to satisfy most users.

The Jabra EarBoom is a great portable hands-free solution for mobile and cordless phone users who prefer to combine the advantages of the patented EarGel with one of the shortest microphone booms available. The EarBoom sports a high quality microphone that provides superior voice transmission even when used outdoors. The flexible mini-boom fits your face, and doesn't interfere with your line of sight.

Plantronics Explorer 233 Bluetooth Headset Review

Plantronics Explorer 233 Bluetooth Headset
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased the Plantronics Explorer 233 to pair with my smart phone. I have had it for nearly a year and have had no problems.
I went to the pool yesterday and left it in my ear when I dove right in... it had been submerged for about a minute before I realized my mistake.
In my frustration I threw the unit from the pool approximately 100 feet across concrete.
After cooling down (both from the heat and frustration) I let the headpiece sit out to dry. I charged it and the next morning it paired up with the phone and worked like a champ. Both the speaker and mike work without issue.
I know this is not the intended functionality (Plantronics would never guarantee their product after submersion) but the fact that it survived my beat down makes me a believer in their product.

While the Jabra EASYGO Bluetooth Headset may not be the most attractive thing available I am more than willing to sacrifice form over function. Until now I had only found one other bluetooth headset that didn't irritate my ears...but it cost more than twice as much as this one. I can put this headset on and blab for hours and not even realize I have it on. I love it.
Also, the sound quality is unparalleled. Nobody can ever tell I'm in my car or sitting on the toilet while I'm talking on this bluetooth. It sounds like an old-fashioned corded landline...which is a good thing. When I go outside on a windy day, which is quite often here in the rainy Pacific Northwest, my calls sound just as clear as when I'm sitting in my office. I can't say enough great things about this Jabra headset. There may not be a ton of extra features, but I never use any of those extras anyway. When it comes to making and receiving phone calls it can't be beat.

Plantronics Explorer 330 Bluetooth Headset Review

Plantronics Explorer 330 Bluetooth Headset
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This Thanksgiving and Black Friday, instead of standing in the line for the deals, I spent the time online looking for a Bluetooth headset. For some reason, I ended up buying 4 headsets on a leading auction site. Apart from this one, I got a Motorola H3 and two Samsung WEP200. Of all the three models, this one turned out to be the best engineered product.
I'm someone who puts more emphasis on the functionality than the styling or looks. My take on the form: Apart from the the hook that goes around the ear, the part that you put in the ear is designed with a slight bent/curve. This way, the headset 'hugs' your ear in two places - around the ear and inside the ear. This is why the headset stays put and doesn't wobble or move or fall down, unless you intentionally remove it. It doesn't hurt a bit to have it on, even for a prolonged period of time.
Now the functional part: This headset holds charge for atleast two days of continuous use. I haven't tested beyond that. Linking with the phone is truly a breeze. If you have this headset 'authorized' or 'trusted' by your phone, it takes only one click of the button to reconnect. A double click while linked will redial the last called number.
When the phone is out of range of the headset, it will obviously disconnect; but it reconnects automatically when the phone is within the range again without you having to do that.
When I'm wearing this in the stores or drive around, it alerts you with a beep tone if the network isn't available and alerts you again when the network becomes available. I find this to be very helpful and interesting, as it gives you an idea of the coverage of your provider.
None of the people I spoke to, had any problems hearing me or had static, echo etc.
My phone doesn't support voice dialing, so I couldn't test that feature.
Plantronics is a company that I've come to love over the years. This product just reinforces that trust. I would gladly recommend this headset whether it is your first Bluetooth device or it is your fifth one.

Motorola H17txt Bluetooth Headset (Graphite Gray) Review

Motorola H17txt Bluetooth Headset (Graphite Gray)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
EDIT ************ The H17 gets a FIVE STAR rating, but the Motospeak app gets a four star at the moment (until a newer version fixes a few problems)***************
This headset does a lot, plus a lot more. Let's start off with the basics before jumping into the Motospeak App.
The H17txt is a lightweight, attractive, and comfortable Bluetooth headset. Phone calls come through clearly, with no reported dropped connections while using it.
The advertised "mini noise cancellation" works, but not like the many noise cancelling headphones. It certainly helps tremendously when trying to hear a phone call where the recipient's reception is bad on top of you being in bad weather, or...in general. Feels like you are pressing the headset against your ear, except you do not have to do that because of the "background reduction" feature.
Battery life is said to be 5 hours talk time and 6 days standby, but what is useful on this particular headset is that if you want to turn it off, you retract the boom. This helps when you are in places where you know that you will not be using it for a longer period of time, but still want it on your ear.
In order to fit it to your ear, it comes with different size ear-gels, to conform to different shapes but also has a hearing-aid like band that you can loop around your ear. I found this to not work so well as it did not exactly fit as neatly and tightly as with the ear-gels.
There are, of course, various buttons on the unit itself such as volume and push to talk/dial. When you press the dial button when there are no calls coming in, you have the option to make this a voice dial command. Meaning that you can say "call or dial ". I am sure you have used this feature in other devices such your cell phone or GPS, but it works nicely, and I found it to follow my commands better than any I have used thus far.
This unit will also tell you when your battery is low and what the battery level is (by pressing the volume up and down simultaneously). Moreover, when you connect this to your phone the voice, I call her Grace (personification is fun with electronics), will guide you through the process of linking your phone to the device, while also letting you know when it connects and disconnects.
Now on to the fun stuff: MotoSpeak.
We know that this headset takes calls, but it also reads back texts and e-mails. For this to work you will have to download an app called "Motospeak" which has a free and a premium version. Personally, I loaded this on my Blackberry and this review will reflect that. First off, the difference between the free/premium are in the preferences. For example on the premium you can change the type of voice speaking back to you i.e. man instead of a woman. You can also adjust the e-mail settings on premium, whereas on the free version you cannot.
The Motospeak function is great when it is in use. You can adjust the settings so that it will only read what you want it to read, but by default it will say something along the lines of: "Text from

I have a Plantronics Explorer 510 Blue Tooth headset, and I really like it. (See my review). But I don't always remember to keep it charged, so I run out of battery before I run out of "talkery!"
I was chatting online with a Plantronics customer support specialist who suggested that rather than buying a car charger, why not buy a wired set as a backup? GREAT idea!
The Plantronics MX256-X1* is a SUPERB piece - EXCELLENT sound quality on both ends of the call, with ONE TOUCH Answer/End call if your phone is so-equipped (e.g. Sprint's Voice Command) It WEIGHS LESS than its wireless counterparts, and is VERY comfortable to wear for extended periods: This unit features a SOFT silicone "clip" that attaches to the backside of your ear, not over the top. This means that it won't interfere with your glasses like the vast majority of Blue Tooth devices!
* NOTE: It is the X1 designation on ALL Plantronics wired sets that denotes compatibility with one-touch-equipped/voice command-type phones. IF your phone has this capability, make sure you look for a Plantronics unit with the x1 designation.

Nokia 02719B5 Bluetooth Headset - Retail Packaging - Black Review

Nokia 02719B5 Bluetooth Headset - Retail Packaging - Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've bought at least a dozen bluetooth headsets over the past few years. Without a doubt, this one has the best fit I've ever experienced. The soft silicone piece fits snugly in my ear without causing any pain, which is great because I have super sensitive ears. The simple but effective ear loop can easily be removed and swapped around to make it a left or right ear piece. It can also be adjusted up or down depending upon the size of your ear. Unlike so many bluetooth headsets that have a fixed length ear loop and are therefore too large for my ear, this one was a perfect match.
The headsets feels very cheaply made, thus a deduction of one star. The call answer and end button just doesn't work as smoothly as I'd like. This bluetooth headset is extremely small and lightweight, but I found the call quality to be as good as the Motorola headsets, but not as good as the Plantronics. For casual users or users on a budget, this is a great choice.
One last comment, I have no idea why the description says display. It doesn't have a display, none of my bluetooth headsets have a display, and I wasn't expecting a display. However, I can understand the confusion if you bought this and can't find the display.

I purchased this as a replacement to my Motorola bluetooth. First of all, the plastic piece that goes around your ear is extremely awkward and uncomfortable. Eventually, I pulled it out because it just feels so strange due to it's large size. The worst part about this bluetooth is the difficulty in turning it on and off. I don't mean in answering calls, but simply powering the darn thing on! I have to hold in the power button a number of times before it finally powers on. Call quality is fine but I wish I'd known the problems before opening the package because now I can't return it which is a shame for me. In the future I'll stick to buying Bluetooths in the Sprint store like I've done in the past and not try to save a few bucks. This clearly wasn't worth it for me.

Jabra C250 EarWave Boom Headset for 2.5mm Plugs Review

Jabra C250 EarWave Boom Headset for 2.5mm Plugs
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
It's amazing the sound quality considering that when you have this thing over your ear, the "mouth" piece is a lot closer to your ear than it is to your mouth. I made a call right after I bought it and the person on the other end could not tell I was using a hands free device.
Like all Jabra hands-free ear gizmos, this one comes with a variety of gel-like ear inserts for different shaped ears and for those who want to use the gizmo on their left ears instead of the right.
My less than perfect rating is the less-than flexible adjustment for the piece that goes around the ear. It's a snug fit, to be sure, but a little too snug. After a recent lengthy phone call, my ear was so fatigued from being squeezed for so long, it gave me a headache. There is no way to take the snug tension down a notch. I have normal size ears, not circus ears, so I'm not just complaining for the sake of it.
The gel-like insert feels great - but it's the over-the-ear gizmo that is doing the pinching. It's almost like wearing 4lb clasp earrings or something. It really takes two hands to put this thing on, too.
The quality in hearing conversations is also excellent. There is the most subtle of echoes in both receiving and sending, but it is barely detectable. My phone has an excellent hands-free speaker built-in, but a hands-free device is essential when you want privacy and don't want to hold your phone up to your ear for an hour.
