Change History

I have had 2, and earlier model and a recent one. Both broke.... would rotate in my ear, the buttons were hard to press, and they were uncomfortable. I hated them. Fortunately, my last Jawbone broke under warranty.... constantly would drop pairing or would show paired but not work. The charger would always plug in at a weird angle so I found them hard to insert the usb plug while driving....lotsa futzing. I know folks swear by them but not me.

I tried three of four Motorolas.... they seem to work best with their phones, sounded good, always paired but I never liked their designs. They were slippery so I would drop them and I could not get a good fit in my stupid ear. My latest is by far the best.... wait for it...... a Plantronics Marque for about $40 online but about $70 at a Verizon store. FINALLY I FOUND A GOOD ONE!!! The plug goes in straight so I don't have to look.... the volume button verbally tells you when you have it in the loudest position, the talk button is positioned so that when you press, the unit does not rock and helps plant the unit in your ear and it sounds wonderful and people can hear me. They know how to make a unit. DOn't fall for the Jawbone coolness hype... in my experience, they are crap. Oh, and I had a Jabra in there somewhere.... never again.

Notice the one I liked the best is cheap. I found price has NOTHING to do with quality, comfort, or usability.

Oh. one more thing..... a long time ago, I purchased a Motorola unit from eBay..... and it never worked well. Here, it was a fake. Amazing that you can buy fake stuff like this. I purchased fake memory cards for my camera once.... awful... slow and I lost two days in Venice on one. So.... I only buy these kinds of things from reputable retailers now.

Oh, noise suppression? BUNK..... unless the Plantronics has it... If they do, then they all have it and it is not a differentiator.
I use them in my 2009 C2S because the factory bluetooth is awful...... Yes I am picky but I do business in my car often and absolutely do not tolerate crap.
