I've had a Nokia bluetooth headset for quite some years now and it has always worked fabulously.I never used them extensively since I always noticed I forgot to charge them when I needed them. Got them before USB became the way to go and everything had it's own charger. Nowadays I use an "Ebode" bluetooth receiver with built in mic and 3.5mm connector which allows me to turn ANY headset into a bluetooth headset, has good battery life, is smaller then a AA battery and is USB rechargeable.

The wire runs to the module and that's it.Which also means I can use the AUX input on a stereo/car radio and send music from my phone to that system if it hasn't got bluetooth by itself.

So if it’s not Bluetooth, it makes it into one and then you can plug a standard set of earphones?JR
I have had a Plantronics pair for years. They look like this:(Image removed from quote.)I have been using these for a few years now, but in the last week or so one of the sides is starting to crap out and I am not happy about that. I guess I will have to start looking for a new set. I paid an awful lot for these ones and I like them a lot- I really don't want to give up on them so easily, but losing one side is usually the end of them.I'll probably end up getting a new set off eBay or something.Def
The right ear isn't completely lost, it's just much quieter than the left.Def
