Default Best bluetooth headset for car?

Have Nokia 6230 and want to use in car......would prefer a bluetooth headset rather than a car kit. Has anyone any advice please?

Thanks,

CC

get the brand new nokia boom one.

I've not tried it but I have tried lots of others

the biggest probs with others are no mute button and the mic not being close enuff to your mouth, both of which this one resolves.

Bluetooth car kits the way to go though, if you only want the headset for in car use.

I'm in the same position, but am waiting for the Nokia HS-4W to come out as it seems the least cumbersome of all the bluetooth headsets.

You don't want a headset.... this is the daddy for in-car use, Jabra SP100:

Just a small problem with availability at the moment by the looks of things

Hijack - If I get one phone and wife gets another, both bluetooth, can we leave the headset in the car and just use it depending on who drives? Would it switch easily between phones, or do you have to "reset" something each time you get in the car?

Sorry, I know nuuuuthing, just thinking ahead...

yes as long as both phones are 'paired' with it. Sounds like you want a car kit though

They all were designed as a joke surely?

I couldn't think of an easier way to make yourself look like a prize príck.

Serious question. Do you guys that wear these headsets feel OK with it?

I'd genuinely be interested to hear what you feel like when you get "dressed up".

'tis eighty quid in most other high street phone shops.
