Bluetooth Earpiece Recommendations Needed
« on: July 24, 2011, 08:43:16 AM »
Once again, I'm seeking the collective wisdom of the APS community*....

I'm looking for a Bluetooth earpiece to go with my Blackberry Torch. The kicker is....I don't plan to use it for phone calls more than 25% of the time. The majority of its use will be to listen to the MP3's on my phone. I'm looking for something rechargable with a good battery life plus an over-ear loop instead of an earbud....those never stay in for me. And, while I'm not made of money, I'd rather have a good balance of quality to price.....

Any suggestions?.......






Thanks in advance......  =D

I've never liked any of the bluetooth headsets I've had in the past until I got a Jawbone. Though it has an earbud, it also comes with an ear loop. I also used to have problems with earbuds until the Jawbone. I use mine without the loop, and it fits great (it came with 6 different buds of various sizes and configurations that you can swap out).

This is also the first bluetooth headset I've had where I've never once had a complaint about not being heard or sounding garbled. Not the cheapest headset out there, but highly recommended.

Kinda looking for something smaller...something that would fit in the same belt pouch I carry my phone in...I have wired earphones, but I'm ready for wireless....

The ONLY one that works for me is the Jawbone. $100, sure, but it works just as well as holding the phone to my ear. NO ONE can tell the difference on the other end, either.
