the jabra bt200 I have worked okay, and was fairly comfortable to wear, but annoyances were the dodgy contraption you needed to carry to charge it, and the battery started getting flaky after a year or so of use
I'd recommend the Motorola HS850. I went looking for one a while back, and this was my choice for it's several advantages.
1) Excellent sound quality. Other headsets that boast good sound quality can't keep up with this one.
2) Comfortable
3) Great battery life. It turns on and off as you open it, so not only can you answer your phone with it like normal, but it has something like 200 hours standby time, and 8 hours talk time.
4) Price. I think I got mine for $50 USD, and I might even be high on that.
Some of the reviews I've seen say that using it outside meant that the people they were talking to had problems with hearing a lot of noise. Do you find that at all?
I haven't had that problem in particular, so I can't say. But that was one of the things that I was looking for, and one of the sites I found had recorded audio tests of this and several other headsets, and I picked this one because it seemed to have the best pickup and broadcast in a noisy environment.
I've got an old-ish Motorola HS810 which I've had for best part of three years and I think it's nifty - It's been updated and I suspect is now the HS850. I'm positive one of thiose High street phone shops was selling it for about £25 recently as I considered buying as a birthday present for someone
