Default Recommended Blue Tooth Headset?

Hi,

I'm looking to get a BT headset for my iPhone but am having trouble deciding which one to get. Mostly, I'd like something un-flashy (the less sparkle and blink, the better) and secure.

I find typical headsets (like the standard iPhone corded headsets) fall out of my ears, and the inner-ear ones don't fit in (mutant ears, I know), so I prefer something that goes around the ears as well (though I wear glasses, so nothing to thick -- see my problem?)

Any recommendations appreciated!

Default well

As Monty Brewster said, "None of the above".

Nokia BH-900 or Jawbone. Thems the best.

Thanks!

The Jawbone looks nice, but maybe a little big? Have you tried it? Anything heavy/awkward about it?

I have the jawbone and the official Apple headset. The jawbone just doesn't fit right in my ears - it always sits about a half inch outside my ear, and I can't hear anything without putting my hand on it and pushing it into my ear. So I wouldn't count on the ear clip to hold it in the proper position.

The apple headset only fit after I removed the rubber ring around it (which isn't intended to be removed).

Default yes

I hear the Jawbone has fit issues on some people, and that the volume isn't loud enough.

There is still a market gap for an in ear bluetooth headset with boom and noise cancelling.

Until when then, I stick with Nokia.

I like my Apple Bluetooth headset. It is small, simple and works.

My brother has a Jawbone and loves it. The noise cancelling feature of the Jawbone is really nice.

Default another choice

Another great headset is the one that comes with the Plantronics Calisto... Too bad they don't sell it separately! It is one of the best, if not the best.
