Got myself a new K750i and now I also want to get myself a bluetooth headset, but the catch is that I wear glases.
Any suggestions what headset I could get that is comfortable to wear whilst wearing glases. (Dont suggest contact lenses as I cannot even touch my own eyes...)

Thanks guys, so the suggestions are the HBH-660 Akono Headset and/or the HBH-300 Akono Headset? its just that the pictures of headsets with their huge ear hooks looks like it could be uncomfortable when used with glasses.
I suppose there is one way to find out - go to the shop and try them on...

I like yourself wear glasses 24/7 and i have tried every headset on the market,
and i feel all on the ones that go over the ear tend to be uncomfortable and annoying, but i wear rather large legged glasses so this doesn't help,
if you have small legs the akono range should do just fine for you,
also why not try the hbh-200? or any of the bluespoon range from nextlink? as these all sit in the ear rather than on it.
you can find more out at: http://www.blue-spoon.com/ and also http://expansys.co.uk stocks a wide range of headsets
hope this helps

My specs has small/thin legs so I'll have a look at the Akono sets.
That Motorola Razrwire looks ULTRA COOL, but seeing as I'm one of the laziests buggers on this planet, it looks like it could be quite a mission to add and remove it every time...
The Headset HBH-200 is in my opinion similar to the supplied wired headset so I'll give that one a miss.
The thing is I want to cut down on gadgets I carry around with me every day. As it is I already cary an ipaq hx 4700 in my pocket, mobile in a belt clip (horizontal Nokia one I'm afraid - used with previous 6230 as I cannot find a SE one), laptop in a backpack, smokes and kar keys on the other pocket...

When I bought mine, I tried both one of the SE HBH (60 or 65?) and the Jabra250. Found that the Jabra is far more comfortable for me. Indeed after wearing it for about an hour or so I regularly forget about it till I see people looking at me in a strange way (BT headsets are still not very common here).
But, the best thing, for sure, is to go to the shop and try them for yourself, as I guess it very much depends on the shape of your ear.

Just got back from town. Bought the HBH-660 for 72 quid at the Vodafone shop, seeing as all the other places listed them for 80 quid, but Vodafone had special knocking off 10%, so now its charging....

I am one of the ones that has glasses (Short legs) and can't make up my mind to whether I should spend a fair bit of money on the SE hbh-300 or go for the Jabra BT800. I havent heard what the hbh-300 sounds like but I have heard sound tests of the Jabra BT 800 and I was impressed! but the BT800 looks really bulky on the ear. Can anyone please advise on what I should go for?
Thanks! |

Best BT headset when wearing my reading/computer glasses is the Moto HS-810 (ta. Merc_Man, lol)
 Works brilliantly with both V3 and my Ericssons/SEīs too!

No i havenīt. I owned a HBH-30 a couple of years ago, no good in the comfort department. Borrowed a HBH-60 for a day, same story.. bought Plantronics M3000, excellent sound quality but alas became a pain as well after a couple of hours. The HS-810 is not the best sounding headset out there but it is easily the most comfortable, at least on my ears..

I have used both HBH-300 and HBH-660 with glasses. Cant say I have had any problems with any of them, but HBH-300 is heavier so I prefer HBH-660. |
