The Jabra BT8040 Bluetooth Headset doesn’t look very flamboyant, but we still liked its design. Wrapped in matte black with streaks of silver, the BT8040’s look has a hint of high art combined with a touch of corporate sensibility. Measuring 2.54 inches long by 0.71 inches wide by 0.47 inches deep, the BT8040 has silky tapered sides and slightly curved edges on the top and bottom.
A small dimpled circle in the middle acts as the multifunction call button, while two raised slivers on the top left and right act as the volume controls on the Jabra BT8040 Bluetooth Headset. The multifunction button easy to press, even when the headset is worn. The volume controls felt a bit stiffer, but they are easy to push as well. A small LED indicator sits on top of the volume controls.

The Sound ID 200, which is a lot more affordable than the previous Sound ID headsets without compromising sound excellence. However, it does not have as many features as the previous SM100 or the SoundFlavors headsets. The Sound ID 300 Bluetooth Headset, on the other hand, has all the features of the Sound ID 200, plus an additional Personalized Sound feature that lets you have up to three listening levels depending on your liking.
The Sound ID 300 Bluetooth Headset looks exactly like the Sound ID 200, but it comes in a glossy black coating rather than a blue one. It measures 2.1 inches long by 0.6 inch wide by 0.3 inch thick, and has a very sleek and slim look, almost like that of the now-defunct Apple Bluetooth headset. It has a lone LED dot on the front as a type indicator.

While the Discovery series is designed to stay in your ear without earhooks, the Explorer series has earhooks. The Plantronics Explorer 330 Bluetooth Headset stays steadily in the ear thanks to the comfy hook and a rubber earpiece tip that rest in your ear. Make sure that you tilt the boom so that it points in the direction of your mouth.
The Plantronics Explorer 330 Bluetooth Headset does feel heavier than the very lightweight and small Discovery 655, but is still comfortable if you wear it throughout the day. Since the Explorer series is intended for quick action and ease of use, the Explorer 330 has only one control button on the front which functions as power on/off, pairing, volume control (rocker) and other phone feature controls. There is an LED above the control button to indicate pairing, battery and in call status.

The Jawbone Prime Bluetooth Headset, the third generation of its Bluetooth headset. The Prime gets a small cosmetic redesign that includes new, more varied colors but revolves around an restructured noise cancellation engine that adds another 6dB to 9dB of outside sound reduction through the namesake jaw-based method. The mechanism is also intended to work more reliably when the jaw isn’t in contact and particularly to reduce wind noise.
The Jawbone Prime Bluetooth Headset promises slightly extended battery life of 4.5 hours for active talk, an 8-day standby time and new support for Bluetooth 2.1 on those computers and phones that have the more efficient standard.

Very stylish in appearance, and very effective in operation, The Boom Noise Canceling Bluetooth Headset amazingly cancels out background noise and enables you to make calls in even the noisiest of environments. This amazing device solves four needs for cell phone users.
The Boom Noise Canceling Bluetooth Headset is a high quality headset that can be used for greater safety or convenience - for example, when you’re driving. It lets you use your phone in a ‘high noise’ environment - you can speak quietly, even when you’re surrounded by loud sounds, and still be heard clearly by the person you’re speaking with. You can have a private conversation in a public place - simply speak in a very low voice into The Boom and the people around you won’t hear what you’re saying, even though the person at the other end of the phone will hear you perfectly normally.

The Aizen FlyBy Bluetooth Headset looks nice-looking without being pretentious, and is convenient to use, although uncomfortable if worn for extensive periods.
Bluetooth headsets are becoming more affordable and more practical. The Aizen FlyBy Bluetooth Headset has a fine (but not quite perfect) answer to battery charging, plus excellent battery life and good underlying sound quality.
The Aizen FlyBy Bluetooth Headset is easy to use and reasonably easy to wear, this is a unit worth considering if you’re looking for a Bluetooth headset.

The Cardo S-640 Bluetooth Headset is an innovative idea that is actually not innovative at all. A Bluetooth headset that is more (and less) than just a thing in your ear.
As you can see, this unit has an earpiece the same as a usual corded headset, and a clip on control unit that you’d clip to your shirt. a lot of people will find this preferable to some of the more inane (and ugly) single piece Bluetooth headsets. I’ve always silently laughed at people with Bluetooth headsets stuck in their ears, even when they’re not on a call. It looks somewhere between pretentious and stupid. The Cardo S-640 Bluetooth Headset
is also semi-dysfunctional - you’re blocking your normal hearing in that ear, and it is seldom comfortable for extended periods.

The Motorola H3 Bluetooth headset copies some of the blueprint elements of their very successful V3 RAZR phone, but will work with most Bluetooth enabled phones , as well as the RAZR. This is an attractive headset, but suffers from one fatal flaw. Motorola is one of the leading names in cell phone electronics, but its H3 Bluetooth headset - while promising a great deal - delivers little.
certainly the most important feature of a headset - wired or Bluetooth - is good quality sound. The Motorola H3 Bluetooth Headset fails to provide good quality sound. Cheaper units such as the Jabra BT125 provide better sound quality and similar other functionality and so would be a better choice for you.
