I just picked up a set of Jabra EarWave Boom (something along those lines) for $5 on eBay. Very nice for the price.

I hate wired solutions...but then again, I'm still bluetoothless.:rolleyes:

ok I've used the jabras they work ok. My complaint is on the recever side I am told I sound like im in a tunnel or worse taking thru water.

I have used the shure ear bud sounds great with noise cancelation bu t again the complint is the microphone the called party has a hard time hearing unless im am alsost sreaming..that dose not work when you need privacy...

So please Anyone what are you using on your Treo 650?

Do the Bluetooth models work better? :confused:

I use the Motorola HS850 BT Headset. Works great, easy to wear and has great battery life.

I bought a TREO 650 compatible JABRA BT250. I am returning it because it has difficulty reconnecting with my phone. It setup ok the first time but when I charge them at night they don't always work together in the morning. Sometimes hitting the call button on the headset works to reconnect them but sometimes it does not. I spent 5 minutes on it this morning and had it happen again mid afternoon, what a pain. It would be easier to plug in a wire...
...I am going to order something else (bluetooth) there are so many to choose from.

I replaced it with a Motorola HS-850- it is even worse. When I make a call it beeps like it is connected and then connects after about 5-10seconds. Then if the person answers, it beeps 5-15 seconds later. They can't hear you until the last beep. It makes a screeching noise to the other party when it makes the connection. Answering is just as bad. I open the boom and then wait a second. Press the answer button and then it takes about 5 seconds to pick up the call. The person is usually saying hello,helllo, hello.
I think from other reviews that these are fine with the Motorola phones but don't think they work the same for the Treo. Not even close. The Jabra is better but it sucks to.

Don't think it is a technical problem with the 2 headsets. I only had one paired at a time. I even tried deleting all extra bluetooth devices like my computer tha I was synching to. It didn't help, but using the cable sure makes the synch faster. Mine is 3-5 minutes via bluetooth or about 20-40 seconds via USB.

I'm using the Parrot Driveblue with my 650 sitting nicely in a proclip on my dash & am quite happy. Everyone seems to hear well on both ends and the Bluetooth automatically clicks in when calls come in or are made
