Hello, there...

I'd like to "accompany" my future K700 with a :bt: headset.
Being in the same price range, I found 2 choices. I wonder which, between Jabra BT200 and Akono HBH-600 would suit better.

What I need: fast and reliable ear fitting (I'd like to mount it as soon as an incoming call arrives while driving)

A plus of the is that it charges with the K700 standard charger (isnt'it?), while the Jabra would need its own additional charger.

What would you recommend, *objectively*?

Thanks in advance,
Macco

I use the 600. Personally, I think the Jabras look like little lizards hanging beneath people's ears. Objectively speaking.

The HBH-600 is very comfortable, the battery life is acceptable and it's fairly easy to get on and off. One caveat for the car though is that the ear hook is removable--ie, it sometimes comes off, usually when driving, as you fish it out of a pocket or what not to get it on your ear...

I use a 600 and although the styling of it is great and the voice quality is good I would not cll the battery life acceptable. I only get 20 minutes talk time with my t610. I am annoyed and thinking about buying a Jabra bt110 becuase of the fact it runs on aaa batterie and you dont have to wait for it to charge. other then that it is a great headset, though if you are a heavy user I would suggest something with a little more staying power.

I had the same problem with my 600. It had a bum battery. I exchanged it after a couple of months, and now never have battery life problems. Talk time must be in the 60-90 mins range at least.
