I recently purchased a SONY DR-BT1 bluetooth headset, you know, the one with the funny looking boom mic.
I have learned from using headsets (non bluetooth) that if I don't have a boom mic, I cannot be heard.
Therefore, I originally tired the Motorola HS850, wich it didn't work very well with my phone and I couldnt hear out of it very well, but I liked how the boom folded.
The SONY
seems a little more awkward, but the boom is really soft and flexible, so it isnt any more awkward to carry than the folding one. It also has an in-the-ear speaker, so its REALLY easy to hear out of! This aspect is very important to be because Im a little hard of hearing. What? Huh? It also helps to keep the headset secure on your ear as opposed to nearly falling off while preforming high-speed maneuvers such as turning your head to look at something, and the ever treacherous bend-over-to-grab-something-maneuver.
I have only had this headset for about a week, and recently had to update my TREO 650 software, but even before the update it worked great. I was worried for a little while because I got horrible reception and dropped quite a few calls, but learned with the software update that it was the phone and not the headset.
Ill try to update if there are any changes in my opinion of this headset, and Ill look forward to what all of
you have to say about it as well!
