Bluetooth Headsets? Which one is the best?

[unshaken]

I've read through many of the more recent of the 43 pages on this site.  I have never tried a bluetooth headset and it's all a bit overwhelming but here's what I hope to accomplish:

. comfort ("after a while I didn't notice I was wearing it")
. music - I don't want stereo, I need my other ear free, but I want to be able to use it for music in one ear and not be frustrated by lack of quality (is this even possible?)
. clear calls in and out - my Treo 700P is almost always on my belt so that's really the only distance required
. I don't really understand about pairing but I know that if it's supposed to be connected, I want it to be connected

Does anyone have the patience to make recommendations once again.  I will gladly pay for the device that gives me what I want.

Can anyone answer all of these questions?  I have a 700p and would like to also know.

A lot of it is simply personal preference. The one hard fact is that there are no A2DP compliant single ear heardsets available right now. I guess manufacturers don't see the point in monaural stereo. I've never had a problem with my Sony staying paired, and it's extremely comfortable. There are probably several newer models out though.

Which Sony are you using now, Alli?  The one you recently reviewed?

[Alli]

Yup. I can't remember the model number, but the review is in the archives.

I have the jawbone and it work fantastic with my 680
I have had several bluetooth earpieces and it works the best

I just bought a Jawbone partially on your report of good experience.  Mine receives but will not call out.  It works fine both ways with my wifes Samsung.  Is there something I  might not have set right on the unlocked 680? 

I hate to keep buying trial and error.

Does anyone know if the Jabra BT 8010 will work with a Treo 755p ???? I like the idea of optional stereo BT cuz I use my Treo 755p for MP3 player when I go to the gym.

[AllGamer]

if it has BT, it will work.

You can always return it if it doesn't work (as the worse case scenario )

I have used the Sony HBH-662 for years with my 650 and with no problems at all. Now that it will no longer hold a charge I just ordered the new HBH-PV710 with the neck strap to replace my old 662. The 662 also had the caller i.d and would pair and transfer quick with no delays.

I got a Jawbone and I love it.  It is unbelievable that you can be walking along on a busy street, and light rail (slow train/bus thing) passes by, and people on the phone are asking why you are yelling!

One minor downside is that the battery doesn't last long.  I think it's because I am very bad at turning it off.  So there are mornings when I am in a hurry and I try to use it and I have to leave it charging instead

But I don't mean to make it sound like it's bad.  The positives far outweigh the negatives.

Received my Sony HBH-PV710 about 4 days ago after having the HBH-662 for a few years and I have no problems with it at all I can even walk up to 10 feet away from the phone (700P) at times and still have a good connection (same as the my old Sony ericsson HBH-662).  What is also amazing is that I have only charged it up once since it arrived because I figured I would let it run down completely the first time and I am on my 4th day now and it is still running strong. The only conclusion I can make is that Sony bluetooth headsets are a good match with palm products (also had it on my 650).
