Ok as most of you who know me, they have seen me with a new ear piece (Bluetooth brain radiator). Well perhaps many of you also purchased some from work of mouth, online reviews, and various other areas. Well here is the low-down guys/gals. Most of them will not sound like a standard phone call made direct from your cell, however for those of you like me who do like holding the phone to your head. Here are some reviews of the latest and greatest of the headsets your are eye-balling. I am only going to review the actual in the ear headsets. If you would like a full review of the speakerphone versions, please shoot me a tweet, or contact me here and I can provide you a solid solution before you waste your money.



  • BT2080Base Class - Jabra BT 2080. OK on this one....No Noise Cancellation. For the price, spend the extra few bucks and get the noise cancellation.
  • Jabra Extreme Base Class - Jabra Extreme. Stay away. Tunnel vision is what I call these basic models. Where it sounds like you are in a tunnel. No dice.
  • Platinum Models - Motorola H17txt. In ear voice commands. Her voice is annoying has hell and frankly this is the worst $99 I have ever spent. (Go with the Plantronics Voyager Pro. Review to follow).
  • Platinum Model - Plantronics Voyager Pro. I, and my business partner have rated this one the best in comfort, quality, and voice reception. I got the less complaints out of this one. Therefore this headset and the upcoming BlueAnt (Model Number Unknown) are the winners. Keep reading.
  • Platinum Model - Plantronics Voyager 520. This is the lower-end of the plantronics models, however I have not fully tested this one. If you are looking for an inexpensive model, this is a viable solution. If you can afford it, spring for the Pro. Plantronics are the Cadillac of the headsets and they have been doing BT for years.
  • Platinum Model - Plantronics Discovery 975 - Not my style. First of all it comes with a carrying case. To me, that screams POS. Because it should be in your ear working. Not in a hip-case. Another big negative are no ear hooks. A must have for me.
  • Platinum Model - Jabra Stone. Well I am on the fence with this one. I didn't like the extra charge you have to snap it into. So you cannot charge it without the little "stone cradle". Voice quality was ok. High priced. On this one, my feeling is thumbs down.
  • Platinum Model - Jawbone Icon: From what I can tell, again, no ear hooks. Which is a deal killer for me. Voice quality is bearable. But personally, I do not like these and think they have fallen short in the quality department.
  • Platinum Model - Samsung HM3500: A new player on the block. This one claims to have 180 hours of standby time. Which, I think is another BS way to lure people into the world of BT headsets. It does have an ear hook, and I would give this one a shot. I have not heard the sound quality yet.



Obviously, there are many choices when it comes to BT headsets. I am currently using the new BlueAnt model and really have happy thus far. No complaints from callers, voice activations, voice quality is very good, and affordable. To me, the 2 that the chimp guarantee's happiness on are:


1. BlueAnt (Any of their products are well put together and quality is important. So they have my business)
2. Plantronics Voyager Pro - Great product, works great. A great buy!

We often test many products and/or electronics. Please do not hesitate to send a request to review a certain product, any product questions, or anything we can do to help make your decision-making as easy as possible.
