Need one which preferable sits over the year, and not a bud in the ear. Want to use while cycling, and the buds come out when I sweat.

Don't mind BT either, but my friends have been having expensive BT ones dying very soon because of the sweat. I use the stock ones which came with the phone, and the mic dies in a few months because of the sweat, so would prefer inexpensive ones, which can be replaced often. Any suggestions?

Edit: I use only one ear, so mono bluetooth sets which play music too is fine, but the single sided ones that I have used till now for calls, don't play music.
 
Thinking of this, but is it a genuine product? Price seems too low?

Edit. Seller himself says it's not genuine.

3) Is this product Original nokia ?

A) No its not original but Its an Original OEM product.​

4) Will I get warranty from nokia care service centre ?

A) No. since this is an OEM product warranty is not supported by nokia care. But we are giving 30 days dealer warranty on this product.​
 
You can go for Sony Ericsson MW600 its way better then Jabra Street and Nokia. Its give more than 6 hours of music and call timings.
 
Thanks guys for all the suggestions.

My worry was that the BT piece would be clipped on to my jersey, and my sweat would ruin it. Then, I thought that I could tape it to the top of my helmet, but then the mic would not pick up my voice.

Now, I'm wondering if I could tape it to the left or rt side of my helmet. Do you think it would pick up voice if it were located about an inch above my ear. Could one of you try this and let me know please? Would really appreciate it. Posting a pic of a typical cycling helmet. If I tape it right below where the 'Giro' is written, it would be about an inch above my ear.

Would prefer the Sony type, where the ear phones itself are replaceable. The Dell type, if it gets soaked in sweat is probably gone.

I own a bh200 but i feel it cannot beat the combi of a mw600 or s3000 and a good 3.5mm earphones

s3000? Are you referring to the Samsung HS3000?

Yeah I was considering that but here are a few concerns...

1. A friend of mine says its good but the gain is louder in Jabra Street. Not a biggy but just something to consider.

2. Will the display info of music work with other Andriod phones with music players like PowerAmp or Winamp?

Only draw back of Jabra is mic is too senstive, it will pick all the surrounding noise while on Call.

MW600 i have used with Samsung Galaxy S, ya it worked fine for me and it displayed all the contents, only drawback it it wont display the Name of the caller instead it will just display the number. rest everything works fine, but am not sure it will work with third party apps like Winamp, because i never tried it.
 
Thanks guys. Got it and pretty decent sound too. Fulfills all my needs but wondering whether to tape it to my helmet and keep it completely protected from sweat, or whether to clip to my jersey after wrapping in clingwrap, so that I can see the incoming number.
 
So you got a mw600?? Please tell us about its functionality and also if you are able to use all its buttons and also about the music quality through it compared to the earphones bundled with the phone.
 
Used it for a 4 hour ride and battery still shows full. I might get 10 hour or so. Volume is good, bass is not bad, and overall music quality is better than the stock buds of the S2. Way better.

Controls work great, and it has a nice touch slider for volume. Screen shows song and incoming number, but it does not get the name from the contacts.

Voice quality is superb. I was talking at 30kmph, and my staff could clearly understand me. Other bluetooths would have too much wind noise.

If buying I would recommend this seller on ebay. Shipped same day, and sealed obviously genuine and new piece, well packed. Ordered one for my wife today.

Nice to hear that. I wanted one more clarification .Was the lag too much to notice . When i speak about lag,it is the time taken to stream your voice to the phone. Could the other party get to know the lag??
 
Got the one for my wife today. Really fast ebay seller.

No lag I 'think'. the replies come back fast just like on the phone.
 
Well i always had this lag thing running on my mind since my Bt headset always used to have a lag and the person on he other end used to go "hello hello hello"
 
Well, used it for about 8 hours [it was on for that time, with music on for about 7 hours], and it showed half on the battery icon. Charge it as I was doing a 4 hour ride, and did not want it running out. Website shows 11 hours I think, and I'm pretty sure you'll get that too.

On another note, my wife's HTC Wildfire does not show track name on the headset screen [does show incoming number though], but a friend who got it for the iphone, says it shows tracks with the iphone. I think it is something to do with the BT software in the phone, as if I pair her MW600 to my phone it works with track name too.

So, just for other who might want this for an iphone or other phones.
