Do any of you own or have owned high end bluetooth headsets, Such as Blueant Q2/3, Newer Jabra or Plaintronics. How does this compare?

My BMW has a nice bluetooth system In it and this is a good one to settle with when you travel and your rental car does not have Bluetooth

I am sorry. I do not remember. I ended up sending it back because there was so much static. I think it just says you have an incoming call and then you can say, "answer". I now have the BlueAnt Q3 and LOVE it! The reception is way better and people can hear me much better than on the Plantronics Bluetooth.

My 760 blue tooth is just fine even in heavy traffic and I am hard of hearing. I use it all the time. LOVE it!

I am unfamiliar with the other models you speak of but I am the very happy owner of two BTX270s. I power, base, and range are exceptional for such an inexpensive device. It easily pairs with my IPOD, IPAD, ANDROID, samsung devices via Bluetooth and my laptop. It also works via auxilliary jack with other mP3 devices. The battery is rechargeable but will last about 10-12 hrs of constant play on each charge. The wireless range, with flawless fidelity, is about 20-25 ft. Beyond that you start to hearing breaking up. I am VERY HAPPY with this purchase. That is why I quickly ordered another for parties. You can not go wrong with this purchase for such a price.

Never used the Jaybirds, but the one advantage they have over the Backbeat GO 2's is nearly twice the battery life (up to 8 hours vs 4.5). Since I love the fit, functionality, and sound of the BBG2's, battery life is the only downside...but not enough to make me regret my purchase. If I could do it all over, I wouldn't change a thing.

I have several bluetooth ear pieces, in my attempt to find the best. M50 is very good. I use it in the car. If it's not in my ear when the phone rings, I can stick it there w/o putting the external loop over the back of my ear, and it will easily do the call. However I like the over-ear loop b/c the fit is more secure w/ the loop so engaged. I have, unfortunately, Bose, Jabra, Jawbone as well. Use Bose in office at desk, M50 in car, others in drawer.

I have had this thing for years, love it. I gave up my office phone, and now only use my cell via bluetooth. I have another headset I use when travelling, and have had very many headsets over the years. My current BT headset is more portable, but sucks compared to the Duo. After years of daily use (4-6 hours talk time per day) it has not broken or had electronic failure. Still loving it after at least two years.

The phiaton seems to have answered everything you would want. Noise canceling - not as comfortable as Bose , it has BT and most importantly for when you cant use BT you can use a mini jack cable. The devices charges with USB, I have mixed feelings on if I would have preferred a battery I could change as needed. The Bose is just a bad design which I am very surprised at I bet we see V2 some day with a complete redesign I cant imagine they are happy with this. Keep in mind I am wanted to like this, I like Bose products but even the mini Bose speaker has blue tooth problems now. I dont know what is going on there.

That is one of the main reasons I returned mine; constant disconnections and didn't work well with an iPhone. It also really lacked midrange. I next got the new Plantronics sports one (can't remember name and model, but they come in blue and green), and it's been wonderful.

I'm using this in a office environment and mine seem to leak a large amount of sound in comparison to both a low end Jabra C820S and high end BOSE QuietComfort 15.I dont know if mine are leaking out more than whats normal, for a closed back design I cannot understand how on earth they released something like this without insulting it better, and they want to compete for space against BOSE?, give me a break....Just my 2 cents though, they do sound amazing and the noise cancellation works well.

Even though it doesn't have BT 4.0, the benefits of 4.0 vs 3.0 do not impact sound quality from what I have read while researching bluetooth headphones. This is because streaming music is a high bandwidth activity and BT 4.0 improvements are in low energy low bandwidth applications. The Jaybird BlueBuds have excellent sound quality but run BT 2.1 + EDR. I'm wondering if it effects standby time though, but I don't really care about that with bluetooth headphones. The sound quality comes more from the codec used (aptX or jaybird's Shift) and the quality of the headphone itself. This headphone has aptX and a balanced armature driver, which is a very good combination. I'd definitely test them both out and decide for myself which are better.

I think the new Bass Effect Revolution X are coming out with the Bluetooth 4.0 and NFC. I would email the company and ask when they are coming out.

I regularly use a Bluetooth Bose headset and Bluetooth Silvernight keyboard...both have been working splendidly.

Hi, Jolene.I've never owned or used a Plantronics M165 Bluetooth. BUT, I've never seen Plantronics offer to sell any "eartips" differentiated by model numbers. So....if it was me looking for "eartips" for any Plantronics Bluetooth I do or have owned, I would certainly buy these and "damned the torpedoes...".

Yes I have and still do. I use earbuds but it's still not all that great. There are other issues too, do you have a problem with clarity? The touch screen is not very "touchy"...very frustrating. Battery also gets extremely hot I have to turn it off after a while. I would not buy one again.

I had issues and a poor experience with BlueAnt. To solve the problem, I bought the Supertooth Model HD. I am very with the Supertooth HD.
