eCost.com has the Plantronics Discovery 925 Bluetooth Headset on sale for $42 + $10 shipping = $52 shipped. AudioIQ noise control technology and carrying case with rechargeable battery. Enjoy up to 5 hours talk time or 7 days standby from a single charge.
I bought this a couple of months ago and have enjoyed it. The Noise cancellation is very good.
I agree with #1. This is probably one of the better headsets out there. Better than blue ant, better than jawbone. It even comes with a nice portable charger as well. This is paired with a moto razr so there might be a performance difference with other handsets. Some folks complain about getting their signals dropped with other handsets. I never had a problem with mine. I usually have my razr within 30 or so feet.
I wear glasses so I rather not have another peice of plastic around my ears so this is another plus. You basically twist this into your ear and it holds. I have worn this while biking to work and it has not fallen out yet. I guess it will depend on your ear since they only give you three sizes. I chose the tighter one since I would not like to look for this in the dark during my commute home.
The main reason to avoid this would be it coming from eCost, which is abominable in terms of service, return policy, etc..
As for the headset, they have a reputation for excellent sound quality and great noise cancellation, but are purportedly very susceptable to wind noise (Try the PT510 if you're in that kind of environment a lot).
not many headsets support wind noise cancellation.
This phone doesn't have noise cancellation. It has Audio IQ which minimize background noise but not conventional noise cancellation technique
No, not many support wind specific noise cancellation, but there are quite a few that have mic designs that are not as susceptible to wind noise as this one happens to be. Most that I've seen that have used this set love it but specifically mention the wind noise problem - something I haven't heard mentioned much with any other headset. For most people though, it isn't that big of a deal (I'd stay away from this set if I lived in Chicago though - lol).
