Bluetooth Headset for VOIP
I've been using one of these (Logitech Premium Stereo Headset) for a while and like it, but the cable shits me:

Anyone know of anything like that, but Bluetooth?

I dislike these type of headsets (tried em but did not find them comfortable or stable on my ears):


Only used for VOIP so if I need to make a phone call, I don't have to reach for the phone and so I can still use the computer whilst on the phone

There are bluetooth headsets that look like this(HBH-DS205) which you can plug-in any 3.5mm headset into:


Main headache I find with bluetooth is most products have a battery rated at 4-8 hours talk. Within 3 yrs the internal battery is nearly dead and you're back to buying a new unit.

I was going to have a look at the BlueAnt and XLink headphones, but haven't gotten around to that yet...

Cheers
Steffen.

If you're using it with a desktop worth having a look at: Jabra GN9330USB - Wireless freedom. Multi-tasking productivity.

I use a similar jabra and they are really good, for longer calls i prefer the over head band option these provide than the locked onto your ear little ones.

my friend has them. The sounds a little tinny but it's pretty good. I was thinking about buying a pair myself.
