The SoundID SM100 Bluetooth headset is one of the highest rated headsets on the market. 

Meet the first hands-free Bluetooth device that can be personalized to meet the most demanding listening needs. The SM100 EarModule redefines high performance in mobile communications.  It processes the sound the way your ears do, by automatically boosting what background noise drowns out without over-amplifying what’s already clear. Compatible with your device, the SM100 EarModule combines the freedom of mobility with superior sound clarity and comfort.  With SoundID’s breakthrough hearing technology, only the SM100 can offer you these industry-first features:

We agree this is a great bluetooth headset.  In August SoundID comes out with the 300 which should be even better.

On July 1st, California law requires a headset when using a phone while driving a car. 

If you live in California and use your phone while driving, you still have time to grab one of the many top quality headsets before the 1st.  With the cost of headsets dropping and quality improving, a headset is definately cheaper than the fine for getting caught without one.

The Skullcandy earbud headset is a very handy devise if you are the kind of person who likes carrying around a cell phone as well as a music player and hates switching headsets between the two.  This headset connects to both of them and allows you to control which one you listen to with the touch of a button. 

When a call is received, you can either eliminate the music entirely or simply reduce the music volume with the inline music control on the LINK console – listen to both the music and the cellphone at the same time! 

There is also an inline microphone, making it so you never have to touch your phone while using the headset.

The LINK system headphones offer incredible high fidelity sound, specifically designed for both digital and traditional music sources.

The standard audio jack makes the product perfect for MP3 players, CD players, Cassette decks, MiniDisc players, AM/FM radios, etc.

This loopset is a way for people with T-coil equipped hearing aids to be able to hear through their cell phone better. 

The loopset does not require batteries because it just works off of the phone’s power and it is also equiped with an answer/end button for easy use. 

This Loopset is designed so that you can wear it around your neck when not in use. 

Another great feature of the Loopset is that it has Automatic Grade Control to ensure correct field strength in the Loopset.

This handy Nokia compatible headset can work as either a handsfree headset for your phone with an in-line microphone and an answer/end button, or work as a stereo headset for the MP3 setting on your phone.  The inline volume control can be used with either your phone or your music player.  The earbuds are high performance speaker with a comfortable eargel covering.  The cord is long enough you can have your phone in your pocket and still be able to use the earbuds comfortably.  There is also a shirt clip included, allowing you to keep the microphone in place.  This is a great headset for the price.

Features:

• A hands free device that you can use to make phone calls with. It also doubles as a set of headphones.
• Includes a microphone, 1-touch button and in-line music and phone volume control.
• High performance speakers for best sound quality.
• Listen to MP3′s in true stereo.
• Light-weight, comfortable in-the-ear design for discrete listening.
• Includes 3 sets of ear gels (small, medium & large)and shirt clip

MP3 Mode:

• Listen to MP3 music with crisp, clear sound.
• Adjust the MP3 music volume with in-line volume control.
• The incoming call ring tone will be played in both ear buds.

Hands Free Mode:

• Answer and end the phone call by one touch button.
• Adjust the phone volume with in-line volume control.
• Listen for the call in both ear buds.

Overall we thought this was an average accessory.  Sound quality for both music and voice was adequate but not high performance.  The mic did a good job of picking up outgoing conversation.

This is a great option for those who like to use their high quality audio headset with the MP3 player built into their phone.  This headset adapter is for phones with an MP3 player so that you can adapt your earphones with 3.5mm female ends to a phone with a mini-USB input.   The adapter only works for audio earphones though and will not work for handsfree headsets with microphones.
