Bluetooth Headset Roundup

An anonymous reader writes "Here is an interesting comparison of four of today's best Bluetooth headsets. These devices are becoming increasing popular, both as a gadget and accessory, but despite how stylish they get, performance and comfort are still serious issues. Joe Selim takes a look at four very different products, two from Jabra and two from Plantronics, in order to make some sense of things."

What about while wearing glasses?

Why doesn't someone review these headsets/earpieces while wearing glasses?

Re:Not hearing aid compatible

"these won't work with most hearing aids, thereby limiting their potential audience."

Please. They're limiting their potential customer base to the 99% of the population who:

1. Don't have hearing aids.

and

2. Would use headsets.

Financial suicide, that is.

Not even close to a "roundup"

[mmmbeer]

So four devices from two manufacturers constitues a roundup now? Motorola isn't even represented despite being a major player in the market. The devices also cost 2-3x more than the bluetooth headsets everyone I know has.

If you're looking for a bluetooth headset, don't use this roundup at all, since there are plenty of great headsets which cost less than half the ones reviewed.

Re:Security and other Bluetooth bits

[Peter La Casse]

Of course, anything that requires real security would apply it's own encryption/identity management on top of BT, which makes this point moot.

Like, say, talking on the phone?

Which of these headsets implement their own encryption/identity management on top of BT?
