What's the best Bluetooth Headset?

Morning guys.

Apologies if there's already a thread similar to this, but a quick search didn't bring anything specific to my attention.

I'm looking to purchase a bluetooth headset for my SE Satio, as the loudspeaker isn't loud enough whilst I'm driving my VW TDi tractor.

I've never used a bluetooth headset with a phone before, as I've never needed one, so I'm not quite up to speed with what's good & what's not out there.

I'm considering purchasing the Aliph Jawbone 2 Noise Assassin headset - does anyone else rate this headset?

Failing the above, are there any other recommended headsets that you guys use?

Thanks in advance

I swear by these. I have a few of them as well as I have a few different phone lines.

Sony Ericsson HBH-PV708 Bluetooth Headset - Dark Chrome: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo

It lasts days in between charges, is very light, comfortable and has a long talk time. It also has a good range.

Well sir, I hope your advice proves to be correct as I've just bagged myself a brand new one for £10.49 (inclusive of postage)

Does it fit in the ear well?

I couldn't justify spending £45 on a Jawbone headset ... not until I've figured out whether or not I'll enjoy using a bluetooth headset whilst driving.

Bluetooth headset arrived yesterday & seems to work a treat!

Is there a way to dial contacts via the headset, or is it simply used for answering calls only?
Apologies for my lack of knowledge, but I'm fairly new to using a headset with a mobile phone.

Thanks for the recommendation Razor
