I'm looking for any recomendations for bluetooth headsets. I need to be able to hear my mobile at all times, but my job is noisy so I don't always hear the phone ring. I think headsets are the solution as I work on site a lot and can't be mithered using car kits. So whats the best performing value for money one out there?

PS has to stay attatched to my ear and not fall off every time I look down or hang upside down from a job.

Thanks in advance

I've got a Jabra BT100 that I would recommend for noisy situations, it uses eargels which are like earplugs and block out other noise, the gels come in different sizes for the variety in lugholes. IIRC the current version is the BT200. The battery lasts forever and comes with a dock to recharge.

I also have a Motorola HBS10 which came with my V600 which is much smaller, much more stylish but the battery isn't half as good.

Just don't walk through the office with it on or you run the risk of looking a little Nathan Barley

Will the Jabra work with a sony ericson T610?
Ear gels!! sounds scary, do they last? Might get a touch dirty

In theory any Bluetooth headset will work with any Bluetooth enabled phone, its a universal standard.

The eargels are only really lumps of soft rubber, they just block out exterior noise so you can hear properly.

I've had mine for about 2 years and I'm still on the second gel (first one disappeared when I threw the lot into a glovebox).

I have a Jabra BT200 and it's fine. I use with a V600, it didn't work properly with my Panasonic X70.

Looks like there's a trip to the aformentioned supermarket on the cards in the morning
