i tried to replace an older motorola h375. i love the simple operation and sound quality of this ear piece. the uniden i tried as a replacement is highly frustrating to use.

what ear pieces function like the h375?

Thanks! This is exactly what I've been looking for. Trying to find the best bt for my bold 9780, you just made my search a lot easier.

I like Jawbone, I've been using them since the first model and have upgraded accordingly. You can update the last two models via Jawbone website. Jawbone is a remarkable earpiece with the ability to enhance.....Awsome

I use a stereo bluetooth headset in case I want to listen to music while I'm out. There are several similar types to the http://reviews.cnet.com/headsets/jabra-clipper-bluetooth-stereo/4505-138... that allow you to switch the actual wired earbuds for a better quality sound. This option is also handy should you wear out the bluetooth battery. You can simply just plug the wired earbuds directly into the phone or tablet. I've read that Sonly has a very decent model like this.

I used to have the Q2 and love blue ant products. I went back to my favorite brand, which is Plantronics and currently have the Voyager Pro HD. Love this headset and the fact that I can take this out of my ear and calls go automatically to my phone. The minute I put it in my ear, calls automatically go to the headset.

I am agreeing with LyBerry. Plantronics have always been a favorite of mine. I tested Jawbone and Motorola flavors but always end up back with the Plantronics.

Can it also reads the phone number and the person who is calling (at least if the contact is in the Contacts) before taking the call.

+1 on the Plantronics. I've been through them all, except the BlueAnt. Once I tried the Plantronics Voyager Pro, I stopped looking. I won the similar looking Motorola BT from CrackBerry, the range was excellent, but the incoming sound was tunnely compared to the Plantronics. I talked my wife into getting the Pro+ which is far better than the Pro, I imagine the Pro HD is better still. The boom mic style is a bit geeky, but its worth it.
Thanks for your recommendation, I didn't know the BlueAnt was so capable.

I'd totally recommend the Blackberry HS-700 headset, Great sound quality, battery life, voice actions, supports A2DP (can play music, general sound through it), the ear clip is perfect and the headset simply will never fall off your ear if even if you swing your head around wildly while it is on.

And best part: it is cheap, but doesn't feel at all like a cheap headset .I got mine for $30, regular price is about $130 and it almost always seems to be on sale.

Oh and just because the headset is made by RIM doesn't mean you have to use it with a Blackberry.

I use one with my Android; works perfectly, my brother uses one with his iPhone; works perfectly, and my sister uses one with her Blackberry. It works perfectly.

It's really that good. Everyone I know has one.

Concession beat me to the punch. Had a Q1 Blueant before (actually two as it was cheaper to just get another on sale than to waste too much time chasing down a lost proprietary USB cable that Blueant used on that model). Was getting too much static on the Bluant and went looking for a replacement. Picked up a BB HS-700 for $24 through Amazon and couldn't be happier. May not be latest model but sound quality and integration with my 9650 is great, plus now only have micro USB connections to contend with for all my devices. Don't know about the Q2 Blueant, but the Q1 used a completely unique USB connector which is a real pain (kind of an asymmmetrical trapezoid shape nowhere to ne found). Curious whether Blueant saw the light on the Q2 and adopted the micro USB connection.

I use the Jawbone Icon. I have had it for over a year and it is still working. I sync it to both my work and personal phone. My personal is a Bold 9930. I also work around alot of fan noise and outside in the wind. People do not even know I am using a blue tooth headset. Battery life is still good after over a year of use. I can also listen to music on it from my BB 9930.

Using Motorola S10 HD, for both 9780 and PlayBook, very pleased with the purchase.

I picked up the Q2 a couple of weeks ago from Future shop, both them and BestBuy have it on sale for $60 til the end of February (I believe). So far the sound quality has been very good. Battery life has been okay, seems shorter than advertised buti haven't kept track of exact times. Haven't tried all the fancy stuff, I just need to have a headset that does the job and so far so good. It's comfortable and light, sometimes I need to adjust it in my ear (i don't use the hook). So far I only recall two conversations where people had some complaint about sound quality. For the price and the quality I am happy with this purchase.

I bought the Blue Ant Q2 in October and I love the sound quality, battery life and ease of use. The only down side is that mine has fallen apart (wear and tear). I am still going to purchase a new one; best blue tooth I have ever used.

Has anyone had any luck with the Q2 and the 9900? I tried it for a few days and kept getting calls with no audio. A call to BlueAnt tech support told me that I would have to restart my 9900 to resolve this known issue with 9900's and that it would likely be a frequent occurrence. So I took the Q2 back and am currently struggling through life with a Jawbone Era which is far from trouble free.

While nothing is flawless, the Plantronics Voyager Pro has worked very well with my 9900. The native voice commands are limited, but it works ok with Vlingo. The best thing about it is that no one I'm calling can tell that I'm on a bluetooth device - even when in a noisy environment. The worst thing about it is the lack of really good voice command integration - and that you look like something from Tron when wearing it.

BlueAnt Q2 all the way - I miss my old BlueAnt that actually had a lit up blue ant on the side! conversation starter it was for sure!!

great quality, announces calls by name if in phone book and allows you to "answer or ignore" by voice command, great Bing411 integration, AWESOME with Vlingo (thanks RIM - free as the PLUS version), stereo playback of handset music files, ALL GOOD!

Also, love my BlueAnt S-4 visor mount BT, 100% handsfree for in the car - say "BlueAnt, speak to me" and it activates with "Say a command" then simply say "phone commands" and you have your BB at your service. GREAT with Vlingo too - just not 100% hands free : hold the phone in my hand and without looking away from road hold down the convenience key and control it all~!
