I need to purchase another one for work.

It makes it much easier to type and talk on the phone, since I can’t use my speakerphone at my desk due to background noise. It’s also a necessity when driving.

I just killed my Plantronics discovery 625 after 2 years of great service, but by then the ear loop was all loose, and I don’t want to buy another one.

Any recommendations from the SDMB users?

Work’s payin’, so money isn’t really an issue (to a point), but let’s try to keep it under 100 bucks.

Thanks!

I love my [Sony Ericsson MW600](http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Ericsson-Bluetooth-Stereo-Headset/dp/B003DQ1DCM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1290013748&sr=8-1). In-ear though, don’t know how if you like that.

I’ve gone through several BT headsets and the only one I’m happy with is the Plantronics Voyager Pro.

I just bought a Motorola S10-HD today. I use it to listen to music and make calls. It has better than expected sound quality and fits well.

I just started using a Plantronics Voyager 510 (this may be the same one **ReticulatingSplines** is referring to). It’s been very comfy so far and the sound quality is great. I’m just using it with a desk phone right now, so I haven’t had a chance to test-drive the open air noise canceling and quality.
