    Don't expect any with CID profile to work properly. My Parrot SK4000 motorcycle headset syncs with the contact list and properly reports who is calling (with text-to-speech) but the Jabra BT8010 does not show anything on the display if the number is in my iPhone contacts. I think it is because it only supports numeric CID and the iPhone will try to send the name you entered instead if it recognizes the number. Too bad the iPhone doesn't have an option to send numeric CID because the Jabra has an internal phonebook and can cross-reference the names there.

    The plantronics headsets are great but the newer ones have sacrificed battery life.

    They don't fit my ears and it's inexcusable to switch to them for stereo music when "inferior" phones can do stereo Bluetooth (A2DP) just fine. And when I sy that hey don't fit, I don't mean that they fall out while running, biking, walking, or working out, I mean that they literally can't even sit in my ears while I sit down. They plop right out unless *delicately* balanced and then I can't so much as turn my head or lean forward.

    I have the Moto S9 and the Sony DRB-T50 I'm using with my 3g currently (infinxx A2DP adapter).

    The sony's are a little expensive but the sound quality is about as good as it gets. The only downside being the larger size but, can't really get away from that if you want quality.

    The S9's I mainly use at the gym because of their low profile. However, they don't offer as good sound quality and only get around 4hrs of battery life on a full charge (the sony supposedly get 17+ hrs, never tested that long but I wouldn't doubt it, I've gone around 12+ on em before).

    I also used to have the Moto HT820. They weren't all that great IMO. Uncomfortable to wear (the plastic rests on your ear), okay sound quality, and they make you look like you're wearing bagels on your head.
