Best BlueTooth earpiece for Good/Reasonable Price

[Eli]

I am not a BT user, but would like to get one when I get my Incredible. I don't need a top of the line, but want to get the most bang for the buck. What would be a recommended BT earpiece?

Well as far as bluetooths go its either go big or go home because the cheaper they are the crappier they are. My advice (if you want good sound and call quality) is to go with the BlueAnt Q1, Jawbone Prime or Jawbone Icon. These bluetooths range from $80-$120 in price but are very nice and the best on the market.

NOTE: As of right now i don't think the Incredible has Bluetooth Dialing support which means you cant push the button on your bluetooth and say "Call John Doe" and it will call them. You have to actually make the call manually and then the bluetooth will pick up from there. Just something to be aware of when buying a bluetooth. Even without the Bluetooth Dialing support it is still much safer to make the call manually then talk through the bluetooth than to hold the phone up to your ear.

I even could be wrong about this, The phone might support Bluetooth Dialing but no other Android phone has. I read somewhere this doesn't either but don't quote me on it. I would be surprised if it does support bluetooth dialing.

I got a Jawbone Icon a few weeks ago... love it. The sound quality is great. My girlfriend didn't even know I was on it when I called her the other day.
I got it off Amazon.com for $83 no shipping. It stays in my ear and is very light weight.

And it will sync with two phone at them same time which is nice to sync with my personal phone and my work blackberry. I haven't had a chance to do any testing to see which phone it would go to because both do voice dialing.

The Jawbone is the only earpiece I would recommend. You can go cheaper but you'll probably regret it. I've used my Jawbone in my convertible with the top down and the person I was talking to had absolutely no idea. The way it filters the sound is incredible. Put the money up in the front rather than blowing it on multiple items you aren't happy with.

I personally recommend the BlueAnt Q1. People i talk to while wearing the headset have no clue i am even on a Bluetooth. BlueAnt Q1 is the same price as the Jawbones and is just as good in Quality. The Q1 offers Noise Cancellation just like the Jawbone. The Q1 looks a little more professional than the Jawbone so it is safe to use at work. BlueAnt Q1 also has free firmware updates via their website for the headset. They have added a lot of nice new features lately in recent updates.

I have not tried out the Jawbone Prime or the Jawbone Icon so i couldn't tell you what i think about those.

I need to look at the BlueAnt. I've heard the name before but never much about it. Sounds interesting.

Yeah check it out they are good headsets. I used to want a Jawbone but my brother gave me this BlueAnt Q1 and im happy with it.

Since we're talking about headsets, can anyone recommend stereo earbuds w/ microphone with audio and phone controls for the HTC Incredible? The Nexus One came with some spiffy earbuds but the HTC Incredible will not. Don't forget, it has to be 3.5mm. Also, do you think the Apple earbuds for the IPhone will work for the HTC Incredible?

Any type of headset with a 3.5mm jack should work. I you need one with a mic there are some nice motorola ones. I dont know the exact name of them though.

Mix-I have to check out the BlueAnt also. I'm still using my 1st gen. Jawbone. I've read great things about the blueant also.
