Go with the HBH-30, I think the HBH-20 kinda defeats the purpose of having a WIRELESS headset, if there's a wire.

I read a review comparison of the 30 and the 20 the 30 seemed to win in all areas and it is smaller too and no wires. |

Well its so hard to make my mind up now...lol.......with all the different reviews bout the HBH-20 and 30!
i think i'll still stick with gettin the HBH-20 coz i think its more discrete...than having that boom stick out on one side of my face! |

I agree with SilverAthlon... the HBH-20 is more discreet than the other headsets... It doesn't attract as much attention, specially if you're in a suit... unlike the headset/boom models.
Anyway, like I said... go with what you like. They're all just headsets in the end... all that really matters is how they all look from the outside  that's why some people choose one over the other.
Seriously... no BT headset has any serious advantage over the next. Bluespoon may be the most expensive one out there... with the best standbytimes, etc... but what if you don't want to look like Lt. Aurora from Star Trek? And for those who DON'T want their headset to be mistaken for a hearing aid... Bluespoon is NOT the way to go.
I actually like seeing people with diff BT headsets.  One time, I saw an HBH-10, 15 and 30 all in one day... in one mall... looked pretty cool. Having everyone wearing the same model headset does look kinda boring. |

If you wanna go for the HBH20, why not just accept two feet more cable with a simple plug at the end for $15??
I just saved $185 for you... |

the only BT headset id consider is the 20 as the rest draw attention and look far from normal hanging on your ear.
but then i also keep my phone on silent 90% of the time where most of you folk probably like the attention.

well thanks 4 cutting costs 4 me....but no thank u .....i want the HBH20 cuz i like the freedom u have with BT! For example if im charging my fone and on a call simultaneously, i wouldnt be able to run to the kitchen(which is within the BT range) to grab somethin to eat if i have the regular headset!! As i said b4 i dont really fancy the HBH-30...its not discreet! |

I completely agree with decoy7......id hate to draw attention with that thing hanging on the side of my ear....so i guess the HBH 20 is 4 me.....whereas the HBH-30 is 4 guys who like to draw attention.......

Maybe i can help you a little bit with your decision. I have used (and still use ) a HBH-20 for over 1,5 years now.
I bought it for the same reason you're buying it. I needed a headset which was discrete. I didn't want to show of my headset.
I was very pleased when Ericsson put the HBH-20 on the market and bought it right away.
The sales girl also asked me why i wanted a BT headset with a wire. I explained it to her and she still questioned my sanity.
Up until today I have no regret buying it. It still works flawlessly (being used 5 days a week). The only thing that broke was the clip on the back of the transmitter.
I can really recommend this headset.
@linmajon
Wow, you must have the smallest T68i ever made  . The transmitter is about half the size of my T39. Not that big (when you consider it's only one fourth the size compared to my P800).
Have you ever tried an official wired headset. The connecter has to be the worst design ever. It disconnected from the phone every two minutes  . I got so annoyed with it. Another reason why I needed a BT headset.
200 Dollar !!!!!! Which store has it for that price. I mean talk about high prices. Media Markt (a big electronics store) here in Holland sells it for 77 Euro (about 86 Dollar).
I'm thinking af buying a second one should my first one ever stop to work. I doubt we'll ever see a new headset from SE which uses this concept.

IMHO the average ear will not hear any quality difference between the HBH-35 and the HBH-30 (I tried the -35 and I have great hearing! - pardon?) so the only other main difference is battery life and I find that to be perfectly adequate on the HBH-30.
So if you want to save a few bucks, just get the -30!
