I want to share my expirience with several headsets and my p800.
First i got this canyon CN-BTH1
http://www.canyon-tech.com/pr[....]Accessories/Bluetooth_Headsets

It was horrible! Terrible sound, clicks and disconnects all the time. Ppl hadrly were hearing me.
Even at distances 0.5m connection was bad.

After a week I changed that for Epox BT-HS02C
Connection and sound were much better but if I keep my phone in the case on my right side(on belt)and headset on left ear connection was bad, clicks and sound drops very offen... People were hearing me much better but there must be direct line of sight between headset and phone, otherwise sound started to get bad... On the street while the phone was in my pocket on on my belt
connection was so-so, but mostly bad.. The battery life was the most terrible. On the box was writen 128 Stendby and 5-6 Talk. In fact it was 1.5-2h Talk and about 20-30h standby...

Next one I got was Jabra BT205, ppl at the store were assuring me that this one is much better then the HBH-660 I was going for ... so I got it...

Well Jabra BT205 was much like the Epox, but the battery was ok. It was also much more comfortable to wear.
But the disconnects from the slightest obstacles( my hand for example between phone and headset) were the same like with the Epox..

I was desperate. With all these I had to keep the phone close and from the same side I wear the headset in order everything to work..

I have to say that I tryed all these with my computer to check if the phone was the problem and the results were similar... I had to stay close and keep line of sight between the bluetooth dongle and the headset

So, in the end I changed the Jabra for the HBH-660 and I realized that this was what I had to get in the very beginning.
The sound is very good and the best is that there are no disconnects, very rare clicks... I can use it even with I wall between phone and headset...
The working range is much better. Even with my computer this headset is working much much better...

I havent been using other SE headsets before but from the above 4 devices this works best for me, its much much better!

I have a better experience with p910i and hbh 600 which never disconnects, works at 7 meters with obstacles in between but discharges after only 45 mins of talk time. Also u should know that the BT in the p800 is badly implemented compared to p910i. It's the phone too..

I know about the p800 issues, I have read almost any thread in this forum about p800 and headsets.... but how would u explain that I had exactly the same problems with my compiuter.. I tryed all the headsets
only the SE works fine with both the p800 and the computer...

I have to say that the Jabra and the Canyon( I have seen exactly the same headset as the canyon with other brands like ActionTech and Ultra... looks like cheap china device advertised with different brands...) cannot be paired with more then 1 device at the same time.... u have to pair each device each time u want to use it....

I also have to say that the both devices warning sounds were like very similar so maybe its the same device with diferent box
