Hi,

Gona get a bluetooth headset. All the reports I've read and when I've talke dto mobile phone shop assistants is that the Ericsson is the clearest when listening to it. Which, to me, is the most important aspect! So, I'm looking for the Sony Ericsson HBH-30 model. Done an internet search and looked in the shops and the cheapest I've found it is about £95.

That is fairly reasonable as before Xmas in Carphone WH they were £149.99 ... and still are in a few places. BUT has anyone seen anything cheaper (for this headset)??

£95 is about right. I usually have a look at Expansys.com for price comparisons e.g. http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=HBH-30&asource=

The only thisng to bear in mind is that if you intend using it for handsfree use in the car, it may still be illegal to use while driving as it is not a fully installed handsfree kit.

The system we use (fourteen of them installed so far) is
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=PAR_CK3000&asource=
which has just been reduced in price - was £179.00 Highly reccomended!

Plantronics i believe make the best headsets according to reviews and sales advice. Sony Ericsson where to be avoided as they are new in the field and not upto quality.

I have heard the Orange shop are doing Jambra ones for £65!

BBB Gadetman - As long as the phone is not being held when you make the call you are fine!

Ta chaps. BB - the 'built-in kits only' hasn't become law yet - if it ever does. Though I would guess that a company that supplies kits *should* supply built in ones especially if they are supplying the cars.

But I'm getting one for myself where I'm likely to change my car soon and I have use of a couple ayway.

But Expansys was about the cheapest I had seen also.

P1 where did your info come from ? AFAIK the SE ones have been about for ages and several people I have spoke to actually use them and have used other makes and all say that the SE one is the clearest i.e. the most audible.

Ta for all info so far.

i use plantronics one- very good

Sorry, should have said that proposed legislation would prohibit the use of anything other than a fully installed car kit.
