Which bluetooth headset out of these three?

LeperousDust · 27 Jun 2006 at 20:12

So, i've narrowed my new bluetooth headset down to three, i think.

They are:
Plantronics Discovery 640

£51.95 inc.

Flamingo

£50.95 inc.

Nextlink Bluespoon AX2 Bluetooth

£34.95 inc.

I ruled the Bluespoon 5G out even though it the sex because it costs over £100

o

).

Does anyone have any experience or any advice on the three mentioned above? Which one should i get?

I would say be cautious unless you can test them out. ( slight issues with previous persons earwax notwithstanding)

Reason for this, is I know the bluespoon is very dependent on your earshape, even with the 3 alternate fitting wires. The other two also look like they could suffer similarly. Still there is always the bay of e if they don't fit.

Thats what i was worried about

Where in god's name could you test a b.headset though!?

The phone shop.

Would they let you test one though? Hygene reasons and all that. They wouldn't be able to sell the opened one would they? I've never seen the flamingo or bluespoon in any phone shops either... Saw the Plantronics in the tmobile and orange shop, but both were very unhelpful

Wasn't really after an over the ear, or if i was getting one as light as possible. Not fussed on the jabra personally it looks pretty cheap, saw it in the orange and tmobile shop.

problem I find is always the fit with over the ear headsets.

I have got a siemens headset and the fit is dire with any of the supplied loops. Tried passing off to friends but they can't get it to fit either. Also build is dire.

Have been really impressed by the Jabra BT250 and the Samsund WEP-150 though

I won't have a problem connectivity, if it's bluetooth compliant it WILL work. I just want opinions of the three above to see what they are like fit wise. Any self reviews about the would be nice

Flamingo = Cheap and nasty
Discovery 640 = Feature packed, but not comfy if you ask me
Bluespoon AX2 = Dead comfy, and the best choice.

But personally, Motorola H700 is the one to buy. Once you have one of them you'll never want another headset that doesn't have a flip like it ever again.

LeperousDust · 6 Jul 2006 at 22:59

I had the H850, i was not a fan of it at all! I sent that and a few other things back, this is where my credit came from

I've used the plantronics in store recently, but i don't know which ear peice it had in. It wasn't the most comfortable of things...
