Bluetooth Headsets - Motorola H700 and Plantronics 510s Voyager
These have been some of my favorites in the past year. With a vast majority of phones, they connect at a decent speed (the Moto H700 is a bit quicker than the Plantronics).
They both are pretty clear without the static noise that many Jabra products have (BT250 which is quite picky). They Moto H700 works well with the dial by voice of the Motorola Krzr. It rings pretty quickly without too much lag, and has generally decent audio quality (in the past, I've heard complaints the headset wasn't loud enough, but the 'C' version seems to be louder). The active mic boom that turns it on and off is AWESOME and one of the best features, making it easy to turn on and off the headset and to transfer audio back and forth betwen the handset and headset. Also, very nice in that it uses a mini-usb charger jack.
The Platronics is my general favorite. It's not quite as convienent as the H700 to turn on/off and transfer between the handset and headset (you have to hold down a button to turn it on and off), but it feels much more stable on my ear and the adjustable microphone seem to have slightly better audio quality. The fact that it sits in/on the ear not only makes it stable, but helps cut out external noise so that you can hear better as well. Finally, make sure you get the newer silver version with the molded windscreen over the microphone. This makes it so that you can talk with walking.
The two headsets use two different approaches to wind noise. The H700 uses DSP and the 510s uses a physical wind barrier. Both work well. Being an audio purist, I prefer a wind screen to eliminate the noise rather than using DSPs to cut it out. But both seem to work surprisingly well. I'd have to give the nudge to the 510s in terms of outgoing sound quality to the far end.
