A few days ago, my beloved BT headset was taken away from me. It was, iirc a Nokia BH-609 (?) and worked well and still does but it's no longer with me and I need a replacement.
Usage scenarios:
Mono
1. Driving *MOST IMPORTANT*
2. Sleeping (I talk and snooze)
Stereo
1. Driving
2. Sleeping
3. PS Vita - gaming
Criteria:
1. Good reception (sound quality for receiver and me)
2. Should preferably have a long full microphone.
rest of the grouches I can live with
Since the BT never belonged to me, I was prepared for such a day (emotionally)
The choices I had in mind: mind you they do not mix well but still are what I desire, despite their comparisons being unfair.
However this might need mention since I love the concept. I have always wanted something that would give me stereo sound without having to go for a full headset. Doesn't matter even if the sound is actually mono but streamed to both ears. It looks like this-
Options:
First up, overpriced beauties, I had intended would replace my trusty old Nokia BT
1.Bose Bluetooth headset Series 2 -8k to 9k (Ok forget this one)
2.Sennheiser VMX 200 - 7k (I guess)
I don't know if I will be able to afford those (ever) so I had a few modest choices too:
3.Exact same Nokia BT that I used was the second choice; then these:
4.Plantronics-headset-m1100
5.Amazon.com: Plantronics Voyager 855 Bluetooth Headset (Black): Cell Phones & Accessories - (an option I never saw in retail)[/INDENT]
My first choice of a mono BT headset, it's this. Reason I don't have it is 'coz it's US exclusive and I need to wait for someone to drop by.
6.Tritton Switchblade
Coming to stereo headsets which I have enlisted were/are:
1.Logitech wireless headset -3k - I wanted to get these for long but they are not exactly portable and since I have a SS V1 and Sony wireless headset already, I am not sure if this will make a good addition.
2.Plantronics-headset-backbeat-903+ - this is among my strongest choices but complains about a weak microphone dashed my hopes (and is the reason for this thread actually)
3.Nokia BH 505 - these are good but I want something flexible
Some exotic choices:
Sennheiser MM100
Rejected list:
Flipkart.com: Sony Ericsson Headset MW600: Headset
All BT without noise cancellation feature
All ill fitting BT headsets
----------------------
I am confused whether to go for stereo BT or mono BT headset :? Anyone with any experience?
I initially considered buying two headsets but that seems a waste of money. Not sure what to do now.
