High End Headset Comparison |
| We compare and contrast the Aliph Jawbone and Cardo S-800 headsets to help you decide which you should buy. Read the comparison here. |
Aliph Jawbone Headset |
| A distinctive design, good sound quality and great noise cancellation, the Aliph Jawbone is a good headset, but with a $75 street price is hardly a bargain price. Full review of the Aliph Jawbone headset here. |
Cardo S-640 Headset |
| An interesting new approach to headset design, this two piece unit is comfortable and easy to carry, with a moderate feature set and a $35 street price. Full review of the Cardo S-640 headset here. |
Cardo S-800 Headset |
| A more traditionally designed headset, and offering excellent audio quality. Its excellent audio combined with a very realistic $36 street price makes it a preferred headset for you to consider. Full review of the Cardo S-800 headset here. |
Jabra BT125 Headset |
| Jabra is the world's largest manufacturer of Bluetooth headsets, and their BT125 unit sets a new high value/low price point in the marketplace. At a mere $25 (and sometimes less) from Amazon, it is definitely worth considering. Full review of the Jabra BT125 headset here. |
Motorola H3 Headset |
| Motorola's H3 headset is a newer design than the HS800 and HS850, and has both a more modern look and a lower price point. But although - in theory - it has a lot going for it, poor sound quality makes it a poor choice of At slightly more than $30 it would be fairly priced if only it worked better.

Motorola HS850 HeadsetPublish Post |
| Motorola has learned from their earlier poor Bluetooth headsets (eg the HS800 mentioned at the bottom of this page) and with their HS850, have come up with a good unit that works well and has no offsetting negatives. Some people might think the design a bit dated. Originally costing about $65 and now available for less, it was fairly priced when it first came out, but now is no longer state of the art.

Plantronics Discovery 650E Headset |
| An interesting headset that performs well, and with a unique way of storing the headset when not in use. Flexible charging options, and the ability to be paired with two phones simultaneously add to the headset's appeal. A street price of about $55 (Feb 08) makes it fairly priced, but not as low as the current price leader, the Jabra BT125. Full review of the Plantronics Discovery 650E headset here. |
| A reasonably fully featured and affordable headset ($45) with computer audio profile capability too. A good value unit back when originally released, but now no longer 'state of the art'. Full review of the 8Com BH-220 headset here. |
Parrot Easydrive |
| The latest product from Bluetooth specialists Parrot, with better performance and more features than the earlier DriveBlue. Sells for about $100. Works well. Recommended. Full review of the Parrot Easydrive here. |
Parrot CK3000 |
| The ultimate in car hands-free kits, hard wired into your car's sound system for best fidelity. Better quality than the DriveBlue, but (obviously) not portable, and more expensive ($199 plus installation costs). Recommended for your main driving car. Full review of the Parrot CK3000 here. |
Motorola Bluetooth Headset HS800 |
| $90 from the Motorola website, and as little as $25 from TigerDirect.com, this is a basic unit, with short battery life, although at a low price. It does not have both headset and hands-free profiles. I couldn't get it to work with either of my test phones (Nokia 3650 and Sony Ericsson T610). Not recommended. |
