Default Bluetooth Headset Recommendation?

I am using a Sony Ericsson P800 phone w/the crappy earpiece that comes with the phone.
I'm looking into the switch to bluetooth, and was wondering what other s2k owners are using.
Any advice, opinion, experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

The Jabra Freespeak I think is supposed to be one of the best. I had it for a while but sold it to my buddy cuz I got a different phone and service. It' pretty comfortable, and the sound quality is good too. The only I found was a second or two delay from when the phone actually rings, to when the headset is telling you the phone is ringing.

i use the sony ericsson T616 with the HBH-30.. works fine for me, although I hear the HBH-60/65 is great. If you want the voice dialing to work with your P800, I believe that you'll have to get a SE headset as well.

i hear the jabra freespeak is loads more comfortable than the ones that SE make however

here's a page you can look at:

I have the HBH-65, and it works well.

However, these ear-pieces are definately the kind of things that you want to try before you buy.

Top-down street driving is fine. But when you get on the highway you might as well turn it off to save some battery power.

Mocky, i use the plantronics one, and like most of the headsets howard chui mentioned, it's got its drawbacks. but the battery on mine lasts for almost 3 days of heavy use (travel), and it's so light and compact most of the time i don't feel it on my ears. however, make sure you get the latest ear piece from plantronics, it's ALL soft rubber as opposed to the 1st gen that's partial hard plastic (gets uncomfortable).
