My wife got a Plantronics Voyager Pro+ almost a year ago. If you're planning to use it outdoors it's worth getting a model with noise cancellation.
The Pro+ also supports A2DP profiles, so it can be used as headphones as well as a phone headset - in fact it can pair with two separate devices (one for audio, one for phone use). Or, of course, you can use it for both purposes on one device. That's particularly handy with a smartphone; listening to music (or audiobooks, or navigation directions) requires a device that supports the headhone profile. On the downside - we've just had to replace it because the contacts to the charger stopped working (other people have also had the same problem, but that's true of other headsets). But with a one-year warranty that was simple to fix. On Mon, Jun 27, 2011 at 08:45:55PM +0200, Ecke PDML wrote: > I second Plantronics.
