  My biggest beef with Bluetooth headsets is that they almost never
 have user replaceable batteries.  It's hard to justify spending for
 quality with the device is guaranteed to die after a year or two or
 regular usage.  Granted, the small size makes this a challenge, but
 it's hardly an insurmountable problem.

I use a Motorola earpiece that uses AAA batteries - I bought it
because it has removable batteries.  For work with my phone, it's
pretty good (at least as good as the sound I get from the phone
itself).

  We tried a Jabra BT5020 for a desk application at work.  Audio
 quality was mediocre.
  I don't like Jabra as much as I used to.


Yes, most wireless is crap. That's why I asked the Frys' guy if any Jabra BT
had Plantronics-grade audio, and he said ONLY the BT850 had audio comparable
to good wired or Plantronics wireless headset. I would stil trust any Jabra
for wired.
