Great news! Wish I could get a wired headset with remote control... battery would last longer.

Any BT headset should work well.

I have a Plantronics 510 and LOVE it. My girlfriend just bought the 665 today.

I think Plantronics makes superb headsets.

I am not using it with the Bold yet, but with my 8800 the Jabra BT530 works beautifully. As I mentioned above, I had a Jawbone 2 that I just wasn't using enough because it kept falling out of my ear. I learned about the Jabra BT530 here in this thread, checked it out, and ordered one the same day. It arrived yesterday and so far, I have been very impressed with the quality and performance of the BT530 headset. In particular, the sound quality of your caller (i.e. the one that you hear on the headset) is head and shoulders better than the Jawbone IMHO. The Jawbone made stuff sound "tinty" like an old AM radio cranked way up. The people I talk to on the Jabra sound natural, with the full range of tone in their voice. So far I am extremely happy with this new headset....finally I have one that I will be able to use alot. I can;t wait to get it hooked up to my new Bold next week.

I have owned, probably, 6 or 7 bluetooth headsets in the last few years. My current favourite is the Plantronics Voyager 855 (see attached). This is mainly because its "in-ear" and is good to hear a conference call even in noisy environments.

However, I have to confess that I've given up using Bluetooth headsets. For a few reasons:
1. I forget to charge them - and when I need them they're dead or almost dead.
2. I find them fiddly - when I need to answer a call, they're not always connected or switched on etc... and can end up spending a minute or two trying to get them working after answering a call.
3. Now that I use my bold as instead of my iPod, I use a Shure MPA-3C adapter (see attached) and a pair of Shure headphones. These deliver quality audio when listening to music and I can use the button on the Shure adapter to pause music and/or answer and mute calls. And the Shure adapter has a microphone built in. Its great for me as I used to wear a pair of headphones anyway - but now I can easily answer calls and I can also hear the email/sms notifications even if I have the music up loud. And I never have to recharge it!

JG in SB...does the Jabra BT530 have A2DP stereo?

The Jabra BT530 supports A2DP - but it is not stereo. It is just a single ear headset so you hear both stereo channels combined.

Glad my review helped! I'm still using the BBT530 and not even looking at other headsets cause this one works so well.

That's a good one too. I found it a little to big for my liking though.

Plantronics 665A works well.

[EmJayPrice]

I like the Moto H700. While it may not be the best in audion quality. It works well enough. For me the BIG plus is that it uses the same charger as the Bold and my RAZR. Even in the car, one adapter for everything.

It even hooks up to the computer for charging using the same cable as the Bold, my portable hard drive and my camera.

The convenience factor is excellent.
