During the years I've had a cell phone I've had three different headsets 
one hard wired and the other two bluetooth.  The most recent headset 
Motorola S9 I found to be so good that after two years of use when the 
battery could no longer take a charge I went and bought another one of 
them.  The current model is different from the original one I had but the 
differences aren't noticeable to me I use it the same way I did the 
original model.  This headset is a behind the neck headset with earphones 
for both ears and no microphone boom on it.  The battery when charged 
overnight lasts for about a day of use.  One on/off switch protected by 
rubber at the left side of base of phone with other controls on outsides 
of earphones themselves.  Hitting the left control can produce strange 
sounds on non-motorola phones but that's the only negative thing I can 
write about this headset.  It's very easily authorized by other devices 
and works well even with bluetooth capable computers.  When I bought the 
first of these I ended up getting it from the wrong supplier at a 200% 
markup but got the second set from amazon.com for $46 and change.  Since 
the first set was under warranty at the time it died, I got a gift card 
from RadioShack for that headset and used that and my credit card to make 
an Iphone purchase from RadioShack.  When you're on the phone with the 
headset apparently your voice goes through your bones in your head or ear 
canals because even without the microphone boom, other people can hear you 
talking on the other end of the phone.  So the arcing question is do any 
better bluetooth headsets exist on the market?
