Today I have three bluetooth headsets for use with the Playstation® 3 system to show, review and compare 
Jabra BT135 (£14)
This headset is very light; the hook wraps itself nicely around either ear and the earpiece rests just outside your ear canal. Unfortunately, the comfortability is the only real positive. Voices become muffled through the headset, which furthermore, isn't very loud. Speaking through the mic likewise gives quite muffled sound to the listener. There is additionally a degree of popping and crackling to be heard while using the headset.
O2 Blue Jabra (£20 from any O2 store)
This is a Jabra-made, exclusive headset from O2. Aesthetically, it is very pleasing - looking very classy and minimal. The headset comes with an earhook, although it is not necessary to use as the earpiece fits right into the ear and stays in. Furthermore, it is just as light as the Jabra BT135, while feeling more solid. More importantly however, the sound quality is far superior. Both listening and speaking is clear as day, with none of the popping or crackling experienced with the BT135. The in-ear approach (this was designed more for mobile users) may however stop you from being able to hear other sounds from your TV in whichever ear you are using it in.
Gioteck EX-01 (£25)
Gioteck offers the most nerdifying product, with its Predator-like aesthetics. Despite its larger size, the Gioteck is in fact as light as the above headsets and once again fits snuggly onto your ear. The material used is more akin to rubber than the hard plastic of the BT135 and so may be even more comfortable for some people. As you can see in the image, the earpiece differs from the Jabra and most other bluetooth headsets; it rests outside your ear canal and produces more base than the O2 Blue.
Additional comments:
The Gioteck comes with a great manual, which explains the meaning of the different light combinations, unlike the manual of the Jabra BT135.
Conclusion
I heartily recommend against anyone using the Jabra BT135 - it is muffled sound galore, which makes communication very difficult. However, because of the comparable sound quality, choosing between the O2 Blue and the Gioteck EX-01 comes down to personal preference of the look and feel of each. Note: You will probably be smacked in the face if you walk around town using the Gioteck EX-01 with your phone. It is that nerdy.
