Bluetooth headsets for the M10

[murphcid]

Not sure where to post this. I use bluetooth all the time, and so far the Plantronics headsets have been the most comfortable to use long term. However they suck, and I mean suck for noise reduction. I have tried the Jabra extreme 2 but the darn ear piece sits on the outside of the ear, and so volume to terrible. I have tried other such as the Jawbone ERA (same issue as the Jabra), I got an off brand Chinese bluetooth that claimed great sound and sweat resistant (I walk), and it sucked badly, and I wasted my money. I haven't tried the Motorola offerings yet, so if anyone has any words of wisdom regarding them I would appreciate it. I love my Plantronics M165 for sheer comfort, and volume, but it just has no noise cancelling at all, or so it seems. I just want a comfortable bluetooth, that fits well, has good sound, decent battery life, and at least some noise cancelling properties.

Sorry if its in the wrong place, I did not see a Bluetooth forum.

Earbuds, cans or just things like the ERA's?

The upside it the audio is pretty good and they mold to your ear...

Mostly just a single ear bluetooth headset.

I haven't had luck with any bluetooth ever except my car bluetooth for some reason seems to work well on calls. That said, it would be great to find something that actually works like it should. Good luck.

I use the Plantronics Voyager Legend bluetooth with my HTC 10. I have had the headset for a while and I love it. Is there a dollar amount that you are trying to avoid going over?

 

[murphcid]

I really don't want to spend more than $100. The 505 I got yesterday is a little disappointing.

This is the Bluetooth I have.

How comfortable long term is that big box behind your ear? Also I wear glasses, so I wonder if that would be an issue? I do like Plantronics generally for comfort.

I have the Plantronics Voyager Legend as well. You won't like it if you wear glasses.

Since you wear glasses I bet that the part that goes behind your ear will be putting pressure where your glasses meet behind your ear as well.

Thanks for the help/ I looked this up and there's a newer Plantronics 5200 just released. The reviews say if you own explorer no need to upgrade but Im torn between spending $60 for a 4 year old device or $120 for newer, updated bluetooth, etc. The explorer is only getting older. Any thoughts? Has anyone tried the 5200?

I am having some strange issues with the Bluetooth recently in connecting to the 505. I press the answer button and it either mutes it or hangs up.

Anyone using the Jabra Extreme 2? I found mine, and it paired quickly, but its not as comfortable as the Plantronics 165 headset, and does not feel as "secure" in the ear.

Yeah, no kidding.

I have the Jaybird X2s and they are phenomenal. If they do get wet and malfunction due to sweating, the company will stand by their warranty. I had to send mine back and the customer service representative told me they need to include instructions to not plug them in for charging immediately after a workout because you can short them out due to being wet. So you must let them dry out first, then plug them in. Those would have been nice instructionsto have.
