Plantronics Voyager 835 Bluetooth headset

Cool Yule Rating: 4 stars

Price: $58.24 (Amazon.com)

Product Web site

Description: The Plantronics Voyager 835 is one of the company's many Bluetooth headset offerings. It comes with an ear loop, car and home chargers, and can connect to two phones simultaneously. It supports the Bluetooth HSP 1.1 and HFP 1.5 standards for hands-free use.

My wife tested this one out for me. Her thoughts: "Clarity is fine and it is comfortable in the ear, you don't even know you're wearing it. I never get background noise."

The only downside is the headset and her phone – an LG Venus – do not seem to support one-touch voice dialing direct from the headset. She still has to pick up the phone and hit the voice button. This is probably more a phone issue than a Plantronics issue, though.
