I was wondering if some of you who have bought or are buying Bluetooth headsets could write a little review so that we can repost it as a table so people can see what everyone thinks.
List:
Phone owned
Make/Model of headset
Price
Location/city/country
Description
Review paragraph (pros/cons/summary)
I've taken some of the information from Mobile Burn, but I think personal reviews from you guys would be better REALITY.

T68m
HBH-15
£125
Southken,london,UK
Works Great, but sometimes the sound is a bit fuzzy (rearly) otherwise it is cool, turns heads, easy to use, and you don't need to look for the phone when it starts ringing, didn't notice anydifference in thr battery lifetime

I just thought of something to add to the list... any 'special features' that you might have found for your headset.
IE: It also works with USB bluetooth accessories for use with your PC, or also works as headset for Handheld device such as mp3 player for ipaq.

Phone owned = T68i
Make/Model of headset = Skypower EZClip
(See http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=EZ232 )
Price = £49.35 GBP
Location/city/country = Manchester UK
Description Bluetooth = Clip-on ear-piece headset
Review paragraph (pros/cons/summary)
Bulky, feels cheaply made, clip not very strong so keeps falling of anything it's clipped to, sound quality not very good (keeps breaking up and distorted). Returned it to Expansys as not 'fit for purpose'. Got refund and bought HBH-20 (don't want to walk around with radio device clipped to ear like Lt. Uhura). |

Phone model : T68i
Current Headset : Bluespoon (company Nextlink.To)
Did I actually buy it : No 
Price in stores : approx dk.kr 2500,-
Can be found at http://www.expansys.com (UK)
http://www.pilcon.dk (denmark)
Location/City/Country : Denmark /near Copenhagen/but soon to go to the US/Seattle
Describtion : Well,..the smallest headset around,..works really good, longest batterytimes, lowest weight, good sound/range, sits perfectly, also when using glasses,....use it mostly when driving my car.
Reviews from mags can be found at Nextlinks site :
http://www.nextlink.to
Bluespoon have just been reviewed in a head to head test with several others,..and yes, it won the test-categories (8 out of 9).
I also have used several other bluetooth headsets,..and must admit that Bluespoon is, right now, the best I have used so far.
"Of course" someone would say,..the guy designed the Bluespoon,..true,..but I still think its the most usable one out there And this is just my personal opinion.
Summary : Well, you can always get better/improvements,..and we're working on that part too all the time
Regards
Jan

Hello jh67!
As you might know the magazine Mobil is also available in Sweden.
I have read there test of the BS. And now I have decided to buy one (of course)
My question is, the pic of the BS in the test, is that a betaversion,
or is it the final product?
Thanx

Phone owned: T68i R5D007 Software
Make/Model of headset: HBH-20 R5B Software
Review paragraph (pros/cons/summary)
Bought it coz I didnt like HBH-10 together with glasses.
People used to complain about echos but after I've set the phone bluetooth to always on there hasnt been any complaints no more. Dont know if this is a known problem. The headset also works unsatisfying (counterpart cant hear you) in areas with high background noice like a high trafficated street. Talking in the phone works much better in those cases.
Otherwise the sound is good, but not as clear as in the phone.
Voice commands and dialling works great, especially changing profile when your entering a meeting without even touching the phone is nice 
It's however sad that you cannot hear the name of the caller like in a normal wired headset. |

Phone: T39m (R3B)
Headset: Jabra FreeSpeak BT-200
Price: Cdn$169.99
Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada
Quick review:
Very comfortable to wear. Sound quality is very good. Sound breaks up once in a while, esp when phone and headset are on difference side of my body. Otherwise works fine. Can't beat the price. Still trying to figure out how to do voice answer with it though. |

Phone: T68 and R310 w/ DBA-10 adapter
Headset: HBH-10, HBH-30
Price: US$200(HBH-10 Limited Edition), US$150(HBH-30)
Review: Both headsets perform well... HBH-10 has a much longer effective range than the newer HBH-30. The HBH-30 has clearer audio though, even in noisy environments and it responds to voice commands better. The HBH-10 has a dynamic menu that can be accessed from your phone, and can be paired with multiple phones. The HBH-30 has limited pairing functions, and only has FULL features with the LAST phone it was paired with...HBH-30 has no dynamic menu.
I love the HBH-30's form factor... easy on the ear, louder and clearer audio. I like the HBH-10 cuz it has more functions and has a charging cradle. |

Phone: SE T68m (upgraded)
Headset: Bluespoon Panther
Comments: An awesome gadget that kicks ass. Just got it though so I don't have much experience with it yet but the size is incredibly small and happy to see that the black version is more discrete than the other Bluespoons and as well as other bluetooth headsets. This headset doesn't even compare to the HBH-15 I had before.
Thanks Jan for a great product! |

To Amagab: Is the black panther already out? Do you have it? If so, Where did you get it from? I'll also try to order. Thanks.! |
