Anyone Tried Bluetooth Headset?

I was thinking of getting a bluetooth headset. Not only does it look cool, but i believe it has become a necessity for me. What with the rampant stick ups just to get your fone here. I know there are a lot of competing brands in the market. Which one is the best? Will they pose any problems to my P800? Any help will be greatly appreciated

I'm currently using the HBH30.
Cost me S$190

So far so good ( its been just a week ) ....

If u get too far from the phone, the your voice tends to break up though.

Other than that, all i can complain is that the headset is to that comfortable for long conversion.

I use bluetooth from jabra and i can tell you it is so confortable i forget i have it on, Plus it is very secure in your ear. I haven't experienced any bugs w/ it and the voice dialing via headset works better than when i used it with my t68i. Thumbs up, even though they turned me down for the 30 dollars rebate saying i forgot to include a receipt when of course i did not.
Anyway what am i supposed to do its been 6 weeks they know i'm not gonna pursui it! Not cool JABRA

Hey Wolfe, are you trying to say that the SE headset is uncomfortable to use for long conversation? I didnt quite get that last part of your conversation. I ordered the HBH30 from Expansys and will have to cancel it if thats the case. Mrgadget, what model of the Jabra are you using? I saw a model from Jabra that looks very small. I was hoping to get it instead. Personally, i prefer something that is unobtrusive and comfy. Something i can put on and use for a long time without being uncomfortable. And of course, at a fairly reasonable price 😊

I got the bt200 with the concept of the headset wrapping around the ear, the newer model follows all the other headset on the market and rests on the ear, that's why i can't beleieve how comfortable this one is besides the speaker fits inside your ear giving you an unprecedented sound even in noisy environment. 😉

Hey Christomas, have you got your Bluetooth headset yet? I've ordered my own Jabra BT-200 from ebay and hope it arrives soon.

I agree that the rampant holdups make the bluetooth a necessity. Do you commute a lot? Like take the jeep or bus or FX?

I'm still taking the jeep and hide my P800 in a leg strap. Show you when we get to meet and show our headsets to each other.

Has there been any bluetooth headset/earphones for listening to music like the earphones that the P800 set came with? I'll go partial deaf if I just listen to one side, might as well go full deaf. 😃

I have tried The Jabra MT200 & The SE HBH-30

Although the Jabra MT200 might be slightly more confortable, the performance outside (in the wind, on a bicycle) was not good. Although I could hear the other person very good, They could not hear me well (lots of cracle & nois).
This might be because of the short microphe.
The HBH-30 performance is still good outside.

Even if I use the HBH-30 for a longer time, it is still comfortable.

So all in all, the choice for me is simple: HBH-30.
The HBH-60 might even be better, but I do not know about that

Hey fonzki i still havent ordered my bluetooth headset. I went to SE Makati and all they have is the HBH30. They told me that the HBH60 is arriving pretty soon. I will wait till then. I just want to get a feel of both units before i take the plunge. Good for you. I heard the Jabra is pretty good too. Still havent seen one though. Maybe if your BT arrives you can show it to me 😊
