Orbit headset
Hi,
I've been looking for a bluetooth headset and have looked at the Jabra 250 / Plantronics 6400 / Voyager 510. They have mixed reviews on Amazon so I'm not sure. My budget is around £50
I should say I have never used a bluetooth headset so would appreciate any adice on the above three or any others
Thanks in advance

Hi hasski,
You will get many different answers to this question I am afraid 
To start the ball rolling, I am a Plantronics 640 fan (see sig). Its wonderfully light and lasts a decent amount of time. It's very comfortable and as I wear spectacles the fact it goes into my ear rather than around it helps too.
Also supports two phones simultaneously if that's of interest to you!
Regards,

Yes, of course! I should say:
- I do NOT intend on using the headset for music
- I do NOT foresee pairing it with multiple devices simultaneously
- I would rather not spend more than £50
- I need it to be as discreet as possible
- It has to have good sound quality for both me and the person at the other end of the phone Including noisy environments (outdoors, crowded halls, etc)
I liked the look of the plantronics though some reviews said it was loose in the holder and sound quality when there's background noise wasn't good..
Thanks

I purchased a Plantronics 640 off of eBay on Tuesday, turned up on Wednesday before I left for a hotel stay before a meeting. Previously to that I bought a cheaper BT Headset, but the quality of the calls wasn't at all good. So for the 640 has been great... Not bad for £28 I thought....
