dear lazyweb: bluetooth/handsfree kit for iPhone?

[serinde]

Today's lesson is that doing a search for reviews of Bluetooth headsets / handsfree kits has a worse S:N ratio than, I don't know, "Obama birth certificate".

So, lazyweb: I took your advice regarding the headphones to get, and am deliriously in love with my MC3s. What say you for going cordless? Is the Ety-BLU2 equally magic?

I've been using a Plantronics Pulsar 590A for quite a long while now with several phones, including an iPhone. It may not be quite what you're after for this though: it's a stereo headset, suitable for music as well as calls -- though I primarily use it for calls these days -- and perhaps not what you want to be wearing while wandering around.

But in any case, you probably can't go too far wrong with Plantronics.

Yeah, that is not the droids I am looking for.

We've worked through 5 or 6 Bluetooth headsets over the years (the SOs mobile telco has lousy reception in our apartment, which necessitates placing the phone Just So), and the check-list now goes like this:
- in-ear is out of the question, over-the-ear is what we want (see the 3rd picture on http://www.tomsguide.com/us/skype-for-ppc,review-414-2.html)
- Logitech is vastly preferred, as these Just Work with really every random device we ever had (Sony-Ericsson, Siemens, Nokia, Motorola for phones, Dell, Lenovo, HP for laptops, also 2 or 3 random BT USB dongles)
- you get what you pay for - for 20 bucks you won't get something that'll last more than the warranty
