Do you use a bluetooth headset?

[phillyslickster]

I use a Bluetooth, so that I don't have to hold my phone in my hand when driving. It's the law in many places that I travel.

I've hated bluetooth headsets for so long...unfortunately Johnny Law just ticketed me in Hartford CT for talking on my iPhone while driving. So now, I'm shopping for a headset.

 

[LovemyiPhone]

I always use my BT. Top three reasons - I don't like holding my iPhone up to my ear, my ear gets hot, my screen protector gets greasy.

I only wear my my Jabra BT500 when I'm on the phone, in my opinion people look ridiculous when they wear it non stop, but whatever to each their own.

I dont use bluetooth. Im perfectly fine with the headphones apple provided. My dog would probably eat the bluetooth anyways. Atleast thats what she has done to about 3 pairs of apple headphones already. I swear shes like a ninja!

Waiting for a good comfortable "over the ear" waterproof A2DP stereo headset. The only option is Jaybird 200, which isn't as comfortable as I would like it to be.

I never use one.. might come in handy from time to time but nothing to warrant buying one.

Hmmm, lots of people seem to use them. Maybe I will have to bite the bullet, buy a nice one (no $14.99 from Meritline or something) and see how it works.

Very important to buy a "nice one", IMHO. I had a cheap one and did not use it for years because the fit and the sound quality was bad. I am on my 3rd one right now and I am happy with the Plantronics Voyager Pro. It is not a svelte, cool looking headset by any means - but it fits great for me and the sound quality is as good as any. I don't use them all day - just when I know I am going to be on a long call and when I am driving. Voice commands via BT would be nice on the 3GS, but I can live with just a good connection.

I use the BlueAnt V1 so this little thing speaks to me when calls come in. I'll take it off and leave it in the car when entering a store but when I put it back on all I have to say is "am I connected" and it connects me right back to my phone. I will admit though that somehow it seems to work better on my wife's Motorola RazR2 but I dig the fit and overall package of the BlueAnt.

NO - not really needed

I have a Jabra but seldom use it. I have bluetooth in my car's media/GPS system that gives me hands-free driving. I am looking at the JayBird 200 Freedom but it is expensive.

 

[smileyboy]

I just bought the BB VM605 for the car and the Jaybird sb1 for work. Don't like bt headset, but I may look at the Q1. I just have no use for one.....

 

[Indygangsta]

yes, i use the plantronics discovery 925 and the blueant z9

 

[awtryau89]

No reason not to with the new Jawbone ICON. Try one and you will see.

 

[Amonkerry]

i got one for use when doing sports, riding bikes and clibing...

 

[NotHomer]

I spend a lot of time on the road. While on the road my phone is in my pocket or backpack and I have Plantronics 510. While the iPhone is in music mode I wear my BackBeats.

 

[Microcosmos]

I have a new Jawbone, but it doesn't fit on my ear very well (feels like it's about to fall off all the time unless I have my wool hat on in the winter) so I only use it while driving long distances. But it sure is handy in cases where I'm on the road and get a call--I definitely think it's safer to talk on a bluetooth headset, with both hands on the wheel and both eyes on the road, than without. I'm looking into a new bluetooth due to the ear fit thing, plus I do like the idea of being able to hear music through bluetooth. I may figure that out one day! Right now I'm looking at the Blueant or maybe the one chobbs1 or Alli has.

 

[Microcosmos]

Hmmm. chobbs1, you're right, the one you have does look a little bulky (and it is also pricey, it had better sound good!). Alli, I couldn't find the 8030 anywhere, but I did find an intriguing little gizmo called the Jabra "Stone". Crazy expensive @ about $200.00 for the whole setup (earpiece, pads for the earpiece, charger, and even a clothing clip), but just might be worth saving up for, at least in my eyes. This looks like one that won't slip out of my ear!

I use a wired air tube head set like you see with FBI and Secret Service. Use the Bluetooth on my truck stereo when driving.

Bluetooth Headset

Hi,

Motorokr S9-HD - just got'em (from TiPb store) so can't judge yet, but hands free for phone and stereo music feels great.

 

[Speedv1]

I use my integrated bluetooth audio in my gps nav system . I used a Jawbone 2 for ~2 weeks then installed this into my car... and well.. goodbye on-ear devices!
