I seriously LAUGHED my ass off when he told me he started selling them. He was like people keep asking for them, so might as well start selling them. Also one of his big suppliers had the whole system setup and started so all he had to do was get the mold kits sent to him.

People take a bite of some moldable compound, puts it in solution, packs and ships it away, 2 weeks later, custom fitted GRILLZ.... in the gold, diamond color, and design of your choice.....

Lol. I hate blutetooth wearin tards...like Scot said. Especialy when doing things like eating at a restaurant or just walkin around.
Alas, the time has come for me to pick one up, but solely to leave in the car. With CA's new rules and cracking down of anyone talking on the cellphone while driving (which I rarely do anyways ), I'll have to pick one up.

Fortunetly, I don't care about looks, brand, etc. It will stay in the cupholder until someone calls me.

Onto the sets: My buddy picked one up thats at least more decent looking. Jawbone I believe.

This is the one I use ... for in car-only, lest i run into Scot while lifting weights/shopping, etc.

It has a boom mic though, but it's foldable so you can slip it in your pocket easily when not in use. I've had it for a few months, and it works great; people on the other end say they actually can hear me better than when I'm not using the headset. for what it's worth, this model has an overall rating of 4.5 stars (out of 5) from 685 customer reviews on amazon.com.

available at amazon for $49.99






the other model you may want to consider is the jabra bt250v, with vibrate function; this is also available for $49.99 from amazon.com:

I had the first Jabra one. It just broke on me though. Don't use one anymore cuz the car has bluetooth though. The sound quality was better than the moto ones, but the battery behind the ear was kind of bulky, and it actually hit my jacket and was kind of annoying when it would rub against it.

How is it if you wear shades or glasses?

Rather annoying. It can be done, but the Jabra one is definitely one the bulkier headsets out there.

If you have thin framed glasses its fine once you have them on, but its really annoying to have your glasses on and then put the bluetooth on. Better thae other way around. For me at least.
