What BLUETOOTH HEADSET are You using & How do You like it? - Page 2 - Motorola Q Forum

I'm using the Jabra BT160 (the one with interchangable designs). Its an over the ear style, which I like because it's similar to the headset I wear at work (a Plantronics over the ear corded telephone headset - I work in a call center). The sound quality is good, and other than when I'm outside on a blustery spring day, I get no complaints about voice quality from the people I'm talking to. I also like the fact that I can change the look. It came with 31 or 32 (can't remember) interchangable "face plates" which are basically just designs printed on glossy paper that fit under the snap-on clear plastic cover. They even have a template online for you to create your own.

I am currently using the Jabra JX10. I have tried the Jawbone, Motorola H800, Cardo 700, Blue Ant x8, Blue Ant x3, LG500, Plantronics 510, Plantronics 665. So far the most reliable out of these has been the JX10. It doesn't get as loud on my end as the others but I haven't had any pairing problems and it works flawlessly with Microsoft Voice Command.

Hope this helps!

With my black Q I got the Jabra VBT135 -- that's just what they gave me. I think I must have too-small ears or something (LOL) because the blasted thing doesn't want to hang on my ear properly! I fidget with it and finally it feels secure... then next thing I know, it's TOO snug and pinching. Can't win. Not to mention that I look like an android with it on. Could they be any more stupid looking?! If I can't get it to sit right I might buy something else. I'll keep reading your recommendations.

I've been through a Motorola H605, HS850, H670, Samsung WEP200, Jawbone, and finally Cardo Systems Scala 700. Out of all of them, The H605 had the best voice-quality on the wearer's end and the best battery life, the Jawbone worked the best in noisy environments, but the Scala 700 wins in:

Voice quality on MY end
Comfort/security on ear (WEP200 kept falling out of my ear)
Stability (I have never had a headset connect so quickly and NOT drop off)
Feature-set (the dual-mode is great and the "buzzer" function is wonderful)

ah the Roach syndrome.LOL. Try plantronics 510 about $39 on Amazon, My wife and 2 children and myself have them and no complaints and you don't look like you have a Roach hanging on your ear.

VT, other than the WEP200 falling out, how was it sound quality wise and all?

I too have the voyager 510. I love it. It is comfortable. I sometimes forget I have it on. It also covers up the 500 hp, 15 liter diesel fairly well.

It was on par with the Scala and H605 on my end (not very tinny like the Jawbone), but there was some echo on the receiver's end. Unfortunately, if you run... jog... go up stairs.... nod your head.... smack your forehead for doing something stupid, or anything else that will lightly jar your head, the WEP200 will quickly become airborne.

i had the moto h700, worked awesome until I lost it

I'm completely new to Bluetooth and I ended up with the (MOTO) RED H500. It seems to be good. Sounds good and nobody has made complaints from me sounding bad on there end.

My only issue is sometimes when I dial and send from the phone the bluetooth doesn't pick up right away and then all of the sudden it works. Could totally be user Error.
